Truthfulness
oi-Staff

All the world esteems a truthful man, for whom Other virtues come without any effort.
Such a man does not have to undergo physical privations and penance to merit the other virtues. These virtues come automatically to a Man of truth.
'Silapathikaram' expresses this thought very forcefully by asking, what rare thing is impossible for a person who does not deviate from the Truth?
Vaaimaiyin vaza adhu manuyir ombunark
Kiyaavadhum undo eaidhaa arumporul
(Silapathikaaram-11; 158-9)
