Kural 591<\/p>\n
Possessing belongs only to the industrious. Do those
\nwho lack such energy really possess their possessions?
\nKural 592<\/p>\n
Those who own a mental energy possess a thing of worth.
\nMaterial wealth is an unenduring possession that goes away.
\nKural 593<\/p>\n
Those who possess persevering industry
\nwill never say in despair, ”We have lost our wealth.”
\nKural 594<\/p>\n
Good fortune of its own accord ferrets out and
\nfinds the man of unflagging energy.
\nKural 595<\/p>\n
The length of the lotus stalk depends on the water’s depth.
\nEven so, a man’s greatness is proportionate to his mind’s energy.
\nKural 596<\/p>\n
Let all thoughts be thoughts of noble progress,
\nfor then even failing cannot be called a failure.
\nKural 597<\/p>\n
Elephants stand firm even when wounded by a barrage of arrows.
\nStrong-willed men are not discouraged when they meet disaster.
\nKural 598<\/p>\n
Without a zealous spirit, one will never enjoy
\nthe proud exhilaration of the world’s generosity.
\nKural 599<\/p>\n
The towering elephant, with his tapering tusks,
\nstill shrinks in fear when a fierce tiger attacks.
\nKural 600<\/p>\n
An industrious mind is a man’s real wealth.
\nLacking it, he is immobile–more tree-like than human.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
