Thirukkural-On Virtue-Elimination Of Desire-Kural 369
Elimination Of Desire
oi-Priya Devi
By Priya Devi
thunbathul thunbang kedin
If the sorrow of all sorrows, which is desire, is destroyed,
continuous happiness will ensue, even in this life.
Here again is a redoubled emphasis on the idea expressed in the previous Kurals. It is not merely the ultimate objective of life"s mission that is achieved by elimination of desire but also unbroken happiness in this life itself.
