Today · Thirukkural · verse 1302 · Love

உப்பமைந் தற்றால் புலவி அதுசிறிது மிக்கற்றால் நீள விடல்.

Uppamainth tarraal pulavI aththu sirIthu / Mikkarraal nIL vItal.

Salt in measure seasons the dish; too little fails to flavor, too much spoils it. Know the precise point and hold there.

Virtue, like salt, demands calibration—neither deficiency nor excess serves the good. The practitioner's art lies in discerning the exact measure and executing it with steady restraint.
