Tirukkural-On Virtue-On Self Restraint-Kural 121
Arirul uyttu vitum.
Effective self-control places one among the Gods; Want of it will plunge one into utter darkness.
Self-restraint is a virtue, which is as necessary for the house-holder as for the ascetic. The self-control envisaged here, is a to be exercised in thought, word and deed, in respect of the dominant personal vices of avarice, anger and pride.These vices are normally considered as prelude to a fall.,
The Bible confirms this idea in the following lines:
'Before
destruction
a
man's
heart
is
haughty,
and
before
honour
is
humility'.
(Proverbs 18:12)
G.U. Pope refers to humility as a Christian virtue because prior to Christ, Aristotle had not referred to it. The Lord Jesus Christ had laid special emphasis on this virtue time and again, and more particularly in his Sermon on the Mount.
'Blessed
are
the
poor
in
spirit,
for
theirs
is
the
kingdom
of
Heaven.
(Matt, 5:3)
'Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth'.
(Matt. 5:5)
But
Valluvar's
presentation
here
(probably
31
B
C)
makes
it
clear
that
it
was
one
of
the
acknowledged
virtues,
in
his
time
at
least,
in
the
Tamil
country.
This
would
mean
that
it
was
either
native
to
the
soil
or
had
come
into
the
country
along
with
the
many
thought-currents
that
blew
in,
around
Valluvar's
time.
After
all
King
Solomon's
Proverbs
had
referred
to
humility
long
before
the
birth
of
Christ.
