Tirukkural-On Virtue-Freedom From Envy-Kural 170
Freedom From Envy
oi-Staff
By Staff
perukkathin teernthaarum il.
The simple translation of this Kural by Rajaji cannot be bettered:
None
has
grown
richer
by
envying
And
no
one
has
lost
by
not
envying
All the more pity is that so many men purposelessly entertain envious thoughts, which only cause pain to themselves without achieving anything or adding a moiety to their possession. Simple truth, but we forget it when we see the good fortune of another. It is also worth remembering that a person who has eschewed envy has never lost anything by it.
The following line from Kambaramayanam are relevant:
Maatraar
selvam
kandalindhaal
Vaetriyaaha
vatraamo
(Kamba-Maareesa-115)
