மருந்தென வேண்டாவாம் யாக்கைக்கு அருந்தியது அற்றது போற்றி உணின்.

Marundena venḍāvām yākkaikkuk arundiyatu / Aṟṟatu pōṟṟi uṇin.

The body needs no medicine if you eat with gratitude what is before you and find it enough.

The Stoic does not crave cures for a condition she does not create; gratitude and sufficiency are the true physicians, and they work by dissolving the illness of want before it takes root.
