Ancient wisdom
for modern minds.
Two thousand years of Tamil philosophy, rendered in a modern Stoic voice. One verse a day. Or a whole library at your own pace.
Today · Thirukkural · verse 258 · Discipline
செயிரின் தலைப்பிரிந்த காட்சியார் உண்ணார் உயிரின் தலைப்பிரிந்த ஊன்.
Seyirin talaiprindha kaatsiyaar unnaar / Uyirin talaiprindha oon.
Those who have abandoned laziness will not eat flesh of beasts that have abandoned life. / Those of discipline do not consume what discipline has abandoned.
To abstain from meat is not virtue itself, but a discipline of the body that follows naturally from a disciplined mind—you learn what fuels the work and what merely drowns the will.
