Kural 571<\/p>\n
The fairest graciousness, they say, is a kindly look.
\nWherever it thrives, the whole world flourishes.
\nKural 572<\/p>\n
It is compassion that sustains the world’s existence.
\nThe existence of those bereft of it is a burden to the Earth.
\nKural 573<\/p>\n
What use is melody in an unmusical song?
\nWhat use are eyes that express no sympathy?
\nKural 574<\/p>\n
Other than being facial ornaments, what do eyes
\nwith no quality of kindness really do?
\nKural 575<\/p>\n
A compassionate glance is the eyes’ true ornament.
\nWithout such kindness, eyes become unsightly sores.
\nKural 576<\/p>\n
Eyes that remain unmoved by pity might as well
\nbe unmovable tree stumps bound in earth.
\nKural 577<\/p>\n
Those who lack a kindly look are indeed without eyes,
\nand those who truly have eyes never lack a gracious look.
\nKural 578<\/p>\n
This world belongs to those who, while neglecting no duty,
\nnever neglect to behold others benevolently.
\nKural 579<\/p>\n
To grant forbearing kindness even to those
\nwho aggrieve us is the foremost of virtues.
\nKural 580<\/p>\n
Desiring to be gracious above all else, guests may politely accept
\neven poison they watched their host prepare and serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
