The wise say that to such as are destitute of discerning sense the embraces of faithless women are (as ruinous as those of) the celestail female
- Unknown
This verse from Thirukkural, written by the ancient Tamil philosopher Thiruvalluvar, holds a cautionary message about the dangers of succumbing to the allure of unfaithful women, especially for those who lack discernment or wisdom.
The verse uses the analogy of a celestial female (often portrayed in ancient mythologies as enchanting but destructive beings) to describe the ravaging effect that an unfaithful woman can have on a man who lacks discernment. It suggests that just as one can be ensnared and ruined by the charm of these mythological beings, so too can a man be led astray and harmed by a faithless woman if he lacks the wisdom to see through her deceit.
The verse emphasizes the importance of discernment, the ability to judge well. It suggests that wisdom shields one from being fooled by appearances and helps in making choices that lead to well-being and happiness, rather than harm and ruin.
This message is universal and timeless, warning against the dangers of being enticed by illusions and deceit, whether in human relationships or other areas of life. It advocates for wisdom, discernment, and moral integrity as vital qualities that can protect individuals from such perils.
Therefore, this Kural advocates the cultivation of wisdom and discernment as a shield against deception and self-destruction. It encourages one to see beyond superficial allure and make judicious choices in life.
