உள்ளத்துள் கோபம் கொள்ள ஒருபோதும் எண்ணாதவன், தான் நினைத்ததை எல்லாம் உடனே அடைவான்.

உள்ளத்தால் சினங்கொள்ளாதவனாக இருந்தால் எண்ணியவற்றையெல்லாம் உடனடியாகப் பெற முடியும்

ஒருவன் தன் மனதால் சினத்தை எண்ணாதிருப்பானானால் நினைத்த நன்மைகளை எல்லாம் அவன் ஒருங்கே பெறுவான்.

If a man never indulges anger in his heart, he will at once obtain whatever he has thought of

This verse from Thiru Kural emphasizes on the power of inner peace and control over anger. The verse translates to "If a man never indulges anger in his heart, he will at once obtain whatever he has thought of". Here, Thiruvalluvar, the poet, is not just underscoring the negative impact of anger but also highlighting the positive outcomes of maintaining inner peace and tranquility. Anger is often a self-destructive emotion that clouds judgement, disrupts clarity of thoughts and leads to actions that one might regret later. On the contrary, maintaining a calm and composed mind enables clear thinking, better decision-making and thus, increases the likelihood of achieving what one desires or has thought of. The verse suggests that the absence of anger in one’s heart is not merely a state of emotional balance, but a source of power that can help fulfill one’s desires and ambitions. It conveys that a person who can control his anger is likely to achieve his goals faster than the one who lets anger rule his heart. In a broader sense, it advocates for emotional intelligence and self-control, emphasizing that our emotions should be managed and directed towards constructive ends rather than letting them control us. This timeless wisdom is applicable even today in various aspects of life, be it personal relationships, professional endeavors, or spiritual growth.
