Thirukkural- On Virtue- Hypocrisy-Kural-274
Hypocrisy
oi-Staff
By Staff
One who indulges in vice under cover of a saint's trappings, Is like a bird-catcher lying in wait behind a bush.
There
have
always
been
some
people,
who
have
used
the
cover
of
their
high
position
to
commit
low
crime
–
expecting
that
their
'holy
habit
will
cleanse
their
foul
soul'.
They
are
the
people
who
are
compared
here
to
the
third-rate
hunter
lying
in
wait
behind
a
bush
to
catch
birds.
It
is
such
people
Periapuranam
castigates
as
those
who
commit
crime
and
vice
under
cover
of
ascetic
roles
and
looks.
