Thirukkural-On Virtue-Avoidance Of Killing-Kural 325
Of
all
who
have
taken
to
renunciation
in
order
to
secure
release
from
birth
The
one,
who
shrinks
from
violence
and
promotes
Non-killing,
is
the
leader.
The man, who believes in non-killing, plans and organizes a movement to promote it shall be a leader among 'Neethar' – those who have renounced the word after having lived a full and virtuous life as householder. The word "Soolvaan" is extremely suggestive.
It envisages the leader who plans, organizes, directs and controls, like the modern manager, not only for himself but for the society around him. For, according to the poet, there is no defence of the fearful slaughter of animals under any circumstance. The idea, therefore, is one that calls of positive and organized action in pursuance.
This Kural also gives a clue to the concept of 'Neethar' as those, who have lived a full and virtuous life as a householder and only then withdrawn from it, primarily to obtain freedom from the chain of births – (Nilaianji)
"Araneri" gives
