Tirukkural-On Virtue-Avoiding Covetousness-Kural 174
Avoiding Covetousness
oi-Staff
By Staff
Punmaiyil kaatchi yavar.
Those
who
have
learnt
to
see
straight
by
keeping
their
senses
under
restraint,
Never
think
of
other"s
possessions
even
in
the
context
of
their
extreme
want.
The sin of covetousness should not be indulged in, even under circumstances of dire need. The good ones who are clear in their minds on the rights and wrongs of it, will not even entertain such a thought.
This does not, however, detract from society"s obligations to lend a helping hand to those who are in dire need by way of extending social service and of ensuring social justice.
Kurals 212, 215, 216 & 217 are relevant here.
