Thirukkural-On Virtue-Elimination Of Desire-Kural 365
Elimination Of Desire
oi-Priya Devi
By Priya Devi
Atraaha atradhu ilar.
Only
those,
who
have
given
up
all
desire,
have
truly
renounced;
The
rest
surely
have
not
renounced
adequately
The idea is that renunciation is a purposeless exercise unless it is absolute.
The ceremonial giving up of external attachment to some things, is not good enough. What is really essential is the full renunciation of the basic or underlying desires. Only such giving up can be true renunciation. The line adopted here is in keeping with Manakudavar"s interpreation in preference to Parimelalagar"s
