மனம் தளராமல் இடைவிடாது முயற்சி செய்பவர், விதியையும் புறமுதுகு காட்டக் காண்பர்.

``ஊழ்'' என்பது வெல்ல முடியாத ஒன்று என்பார்கள் சோர்வில்லாமல் முயற்சி மேற்கொள்பவர்கள் அந்த ஊழையும் தோல்வி அடையச் செய்வார்கள்

சோர்வு இல்லாமல் முயற்சியில் குறைவு இல்லாமல் முயல்கின்றவர்,(செயலுக்கு இடையூறாக வரும்)ஊழையும் ஒரு காலத்தில் தோல்வியுறச் செய்யும்.

They who labour on, without fear and without fainting will see even fate (put) behind their back

This Kural verse emphasizes the power of relentless effort and perseverance. It suggests that those who work tirelessly, without fear or hesitation, will eventually overcome fate, which is often considered an insurmountable force. The term "fate" or "destiny" (often referred to as "ஊழ்" in Tamil) is generally perceived as a predefined path or outcome that cannot be changed or defeated. However, this Kural challenges that notion by asserting that even fate can be put behind one's back through persistent effort. The underlying message is that of human resilience and courage. It encourages individuals not to be deterred by the challenges that come their way and to continue striving without losing heart. It emphasizes that no external force, including fate, can deter a determined soul from achieving its goal. The verse embodies the spirit of resilience, determination, and the ability to shape one's own destiny through hard work and perseverance. It serves as a reminder that we should not succumb to the concept of fate but strive to surpass it with our efforts.
