Tirukkural-On Virtue-Pleasing Speech Or Courtesy-Kural 93
Inso linithe aram.
Gift
becomes
a
virtue
when
it
is
given
spontaneously,
With
cheerful
countenance
and
kind
words.
The essence of the virtue of giving comprises of a kindly look, pleasing words and sincere heart, but it is not a question of stage-acting. All this should be prompted by a spontaneity and genuine consideration for the feelings of the affected man, and calculated to give him relief. Only then it will achieve the purpose for which it is intended. Otherwise it will just hurt like Johnson's silver, as against Goldsmith's boiled potato. Kind hearts are certainly more valuable than coronets, as felicitously stated by Tennyson.
That is why Valluvar himself said in another context, with reference to the extremely sensitive nature of guests in Kural 90.
