Thirukkural- On Virtue- Penance-Kural-267
Penance
oi-Staff
By Staff
The longer the gold is fired in the furnace, the purer and brighter it gets:Even so, sufferings willingly borne, chasten the spirit.
The gold melted in the furnace loses its blemishes and shines brighter. In the same manner, men who do penance get rid of their sins and become purer in spirit and shine resplendently.
The Bible has the following parallel:
'The
firing
pot
for
silver
and
the
furnace
for
gold,
but
the
Lord
trieth
the
hearts'.
(Proverbs 17,3)
