* நில்லாத வற்றை நிலையின வென்றுணரும் புல்லறி வாண்மை கடை. Differentiating the stable and unstable is advocated in tirukkural, by stating negatively that one who thinks that instability is the stability is a person who has the least know-how. * Verse 2.70
आपूर्यमाणम् अचल-प्रतिष्ठं समुद्रम् आपः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् । तद्वत् कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिम् आप्नोति न काम-कामी ॥ ७० ॥ *āpūryamāṇam acala-pratiṣṭhaṃ samudram āpaḥ praviśanti yadvat* | *tadvat kāmā yaṃ praviśanti sarve sa śāntim āpnoti na kāma-kāmī* || 70 || *āpūryamāṇam*–completely full in all directions; *acala-pratiṣṭham*–fixed and unmoved; *samudram*–the ocean; *āpaḥ*–the waters (of many rivers); *praviśanti*–enter; *yadvat*–just as; *tadvat*–similarly; *kāmāḥ*–the agitations of the senses; *yam*–whom (a person of fixed intelligence); *praviśanti*–they enter; *sarve*–all;* saḥ*–he; *śāntim*–peace; *āpnoti* –attains; *na*–not; *kāma-kāmī*–he who desires to fulfill his own desires. Just as countless rivers flow into the ocean, which is full and always still, without causing any disturbance to it, similarly, various desires flow into the mind of one who is *sthita-prajña <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/sthitaprajna#vaishnavism>*, yet his equilibrium is never disturbed. Such persons alone can attain peace, not those who strive always to fulfil their desires.
