Kural 31<\/p>\n
Virtue yields Heaven’s honor and Earth’s wealth.
\nWhat is there then that is more fruitful for a man?
\nKural 32<\/p>\n
There is nothing more rewarding than virtue,
\nnor anything more ruinous than its neglect.
\nKural 33<\/p>\n
Be unremitting in the doing of good deeds;
\ndo them with all your might and by every possible means.
\nKural 34<\/p>\n
Keep the mind free of impurity. That alone is
\nthe practice of virtue. All else is nothing but empty display.
\nKural 35<\/p>\n
Virtue is living in such a way that one does not fall
\ninto these four: envy, anger, greed and unsavory speech.
\nKural 36<\/p>\n
Don’t tell yourself you’ll be wise enough to practice virtue tomorrow.
\nDo it now, for it will be your deathless companion when you die.
\nKural 37<\/p>\n
It is utterly superfluous to inquire about virtue’s benefits, so
\nevident in the difference between the palanquin’s rider and bearer.
\nKural 38<\/p>\n
Not allowing a day to pass without doing some good
\nis a boulder that will block your passage on the path to rebirth.
\nKural 39<\/p>\n
Only virtuous deeds abound in true joy.
\nAll other deeds are empty and devoid of distinction.
\nKural 40<\/p>\n
Virtue is merely that which should be done in life,
\nand vice is merely that which should be avoided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
