Tirukkural-On Virtue-Fear of Evil-Kural 208
Fear Of Evil
oi-Staff
By Staff
Veeyaadhu adiurain thattru
Just as the shadows follow the feet wherever they go, The effect of evil follows the evil-doer, relentlessly
Those who think, speak and do evil cannot escape Nemesis, which is bound to overtake them.
'Vinai vinaithavan vinai arupaan' is a Tamil proverb, which is parallel to the English one, 'He who sows the wind reaps the whirlwind'.The bible too has the parallel in the following line;
'Evil pursueth sinners'
(Proverbs 13:21).
The
shadow
idea
has
been
used
in
other
Sangam
literature
thus:
'Selvazhichch
selvazhi
mainilaltr
poala'
(Aganaanooru: 49-15)
