Thirukkural-On Virtue-Impermanence Of The World-Kural 333
Impermanence Of World
oi-Staff
All wealth is fleeting and so when one acquires wealth It should be promptly spent on works of lasting value.
The previous Kural and this bring out the ephemeral nature of all wealth. In this couplet, the poet has added a piece of advice to spend such impermanent wealth in a way that will secure permanent benefits. Omar Khayam's warning is of similar import when he says:
'Ah,
make
the
most
of
what
we
may
yet
spend,
before
we
too
into
the
dust
descend.'
The transient character of wealth has been picturised also in Kalithogai:
