Thirukkural-Kural 347

Patri vidaa idumpaikal patrinaip
Patri vidaa thavarkku


The bonds of worldly attachments entail in their wake, continuous pain and sorrow. Only those who renounce all these attachments will secure ultimate release, or heaven. That is why the Gita says 'that calm man who is the same in pain and pleasure, whom these cannot disturb, alone is able to attain immortality" (Gita 2,15)
