It is said that those who are conscious of their duty and behave with a perfect goodness will regard as natural all that is good

Kural 981 emphasizes the importance of understanding one's duty and behaving with moral righteousness. People who are aware of their responsibilities and fulfill them in a virtuous manner perceive all their actions as their natural duties. The essence of this verse is that when one is conscious of their ethical duties and performs them with utmost sincerity, all their actions are deemed good and justifiable. In a broader perspective, this Kural elucidates that our moral responsibilities are not burdensome obligations, but a natural part of our lives. This perspective instills a sense of purpose and creates a harmonious life. It encourages individuals to be more proactive in their actions and to view every task or duty as an opportunity to do good. In the cultural context, this Kural teaches that the path of righteousness is not forced upon us, but it is a path that we should willingly accept and follow. It is a call to acknowledge and embrace our responsibilities, and to perform them with integrity and virtue, thereby making all our actions inherently good. This verse thus promotes a sense of personal responsibility and ethical behavior in society.
