Valluvar says that to think in one's mind, \"I shall take another's property by stealth\", is itself evil. The fault arises before any deed is done. That may sound severe, but it follows naturally once we remember that every act is first born as a thought.\n\nIn the phrase ullaththaal ullalum, the words ullam (mind) and ullal (thinking) stand side by side, a sound-play that presses home the meaning \"to think within the mind\". The second line has the same music in kallaththaal kalvem.\n\nWhat we should notice is that when thought itself counts, a person acquires the habit of watching his own mind. The discipline of setting thoughts right even when nobody watches is just what ascetic virtue requires. Law punishes the deed; dharma purifies the thought. The couplet invites us to stop at the very first moment of wanting, when the thought arises that it would be good to have what belongs to another, and to examine it there, before it grows into a plan.\n\nThis watchfulness over thought comes not from fear but from clarity. One who notices an ill thought as it arises and puts it away seldom errs in action. Stopping a thought at the start is like putting out a fire before it spreads; a crime already committed is far harder to mend. Someone whose mind has grown a fault must also pretend to be good in front of others, and that pretence becomes his burden.

happened after Rama went to the forest. After King Dasharatha died, Bharata, who was away at his maternal uncle's home, was called back to Ayodhya. When he arrived he learned that his mother Kaikeyi had sent Rama into exile and secured the throne for him. His mind was shaken.\n\nKaikeyi said proudly, \"The kingdom is now yours.\" Bharata was stunned by these words. He rebuked his mother sharply: while the elder brother lived, the kingdom did not belong to the younger, and merely to imagine for himself what was Rama's was sin. He made it clear that he had not wished for the throne even for a moment, since it was his brother's right. The throne had come into his hands and nobody was stopping him. Yet his mind did not once treat it as his own.\n\nLater he went to the forest with an army and the people of the city to seek Rama, and begged him to take up the kingdom. Rama declined, pointing to his duty to keep his father's word, so Bharata brought back Rama's sandals. He placed them on the throne, lived an ascetic life at Nandigrama, and ruled in Rama's name.\n\nThe thought \"I shall take another's property by stealth\" never even arose in his heart. That inner purity, unseen by anyone outside, is the basis of Bharata's fame. The Ramayana honours this younger brother nearly as high as the elder. The story tells us that even when an opportunity comes to us wrongly, the nobler mind is the one that does not think of making it its own.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bc8 \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1?","reflection_en":"When a chance came your way that was not rightfully yours, what did your mind do in the very first moment?","image_prompt":"Bharata kneeling and placing Rama's wooden sandals on the royal throne of Ayodhya while courtiers and sages look on respectfully, a simple ascetic's cloth on Bharata's shoulders, warm palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/verse"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2395,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/484\/revisions\/2395"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/98"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=484"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=484"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=484"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=484"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
