எல்லா உயிர்களிடத்திலும் இணங்கிச் சேராமல் இருக்கும் தீய குணத்தை வளர்க்கும் நோயே, மனவேறுபாடு என்று கூறுவர்.

மனமாறுபாடு காரணமாக ஏற்படுகிற பகையுணர்வு மக்களை ஒன்று சேர்ந்து வாழ முடியாமல் செய்கிற தீய பண்பாகும்

எல்லா உயிர்களுக்கும் மற்ற உயிர்களோடு பொருந்தாமல் வேறுபடுதலாகிய தீயப் பண்பை வளர்க்கும் நோய் இகழ் (மாறுபாடு) என்று சொல்வர் அறிஞர்.

The disease which fosters the evil of disunion among all creatures is termed hatred by the wise

This verse from Thiru Kural, Kural 851, speaks about the destructive nature of hatred and disunity. The verse metaphorically refers to hatred as a disease that promotes discord and disunion among all living beings. The term 'Igal' in Tamil signifies 'hatred' or 'enmity'. The verse emphasizes that hatred is a malady that prevents unity and harmony among all creatures. This hatred can manifest in various forms such as animosity, prejudice, discrimination, or hostility. It is detrimental as it fosters division and conflict, rather than peace and unity. The wisdom of the verse lies in acknowledging that hatred is a destructive force that hinders the social cohesion and collective growth of all living beings. The 'wise' referred to in the verse are those who understand this and regard hatred as a disease that needs to be cured. Therefore, the moral interpretation of this verse is a call for unity, harmony and mutual respect among all creatures. It underlines the importance of overcoming hatred and fostering love and understanding for a harmonious coexistence.
