உடைமை ஏதும் இல்லாதிருப்பது துறவின் இயல்பு. உடைமைகளை வைத்திருப்பதோ ஆசை என்னும் மயக்கத்தை மறுபடியும் தரும்.

ஒரு பற்றும் இல்லாதிருத்தலே துறவுக்கு ஏற்றதாகும் ஓன்றன் மேல் பற்று வைப்பினும், அது மேன்மேலும் பற்றுகளைப் பெருக்கி மயங்கச் செய்துவிடும்

தவம் செய்தவற்கு ஒரு பற்றும் இல்லாதிருத்தல் இயல்பாகும், பற்று உடையவராக இருத்தல் மீண்டும் மயங்குவதற்கு வழியாகும்.

To be altogether destitute is the proper condition of those who perform austerities; if they possess anything, it will change (their resolution) and bring them back to their confused state

This verse speaks about the nature of austerity and the impact of material possessions on individual spiritual pursuits. According to Thiruvalluvar, the ideal state for those practicing austerities, or spiritual disciplines, is one of complete deprivation of material possessions. This is because any form of possession has the potential to distract them from their spiritual path, altering their determination and causing them to return to a state of confusion and attachment. The verse emphasizes the importance of renunciation in spiritual growth. It suggests that to truly immerse oneself in spiritual disciplines, one must let go of all worldly possessions. This is not a call for poverty, but rather a call for detachment from materialistic desires, as they can lead to confusion and disruption in one's spiritual journey. The verse also highlights the slippery nature of material possessions. If one allows for even a small amount of attachment, it can quickly increase and lead to a state of delusion, thereby hindering spiritual progress. Thus, Thiruvalluvar advises those on a spiritual path to embrace a life of simplicity and non-attachment to stay true to their spiritual pursuits.
