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 753 · Wealth
பொருளென்னும் பொய்யா விளக்கம் இருளறுக்கும் எண்ணிய தேயத்துச் சென்று.
Porulen-num poyya vilakkam irulaRukum / Enniya theyathtuch chentru
Wealth—that unfailing lamp—dispels the darkness / wherever your purpose carries you.
Wealth is not a moral good, but a tool of Providence: it removes obstacles to your mission and permits you to act on your deliberate plans. The Stoic recognizes that adequate provision, secured without vice, is the servant of virtue, not its master.
