Four Qualities Of Prime Importance Of Saving One's Virtue! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Four Qualities Of Prime Importance Of Saving One's Virtue!



It is said that among all the virtues one should possess,
The prime importance of saving one's virtue is

To save with awareness that the following
Said things should not come to him;

Such as: abundant wealth obtained by selling
The discipline pertaining to his genetic background,

The wealth obtained by giving up truth and faithfulness
by telling lie and act with partiality to somebody's favor,

The method of living to entertain the fleshy body
by giving up the so far maintained discipline with austerity,

To eat by giving up your right of freedom and self respect
and becoming a slave to somebody!

குலம்விற்றுக் கொள்ளும் வெறுக்கையும் வாய்மை
நலம்விற்றுக் கொள்ளுந் திருவும் தவம்விற்றாங்கு
ஊனோம்பும் வாழ்வும் உரிமைவிற் றுண்பதூஉம்
