Kural 131<\/p>\n

\"\"Virtuous conduct leads a man to eminent greatness.
\nTherefore, it should be guarded as more precious than life itself.
\nKural 132<\/p>\n

In your striving, be mindful to preserve good conduct.
\nIn your deliberations, discover it is your staunchest ally.
\nKural 133<\/p>\n

Morality is the birthright of high families,
\nwhile immoral conduct’s legacy is lowly birth.
\nKural 134<\/p>\n

If a priest forgets the Vedas, he can relearn them.
\nBut if he falls from virtue, his high birth is forever lost.
\nKural 135<\/p>\n

Prosperity is not for the envious,
\nnor is greatness for men of impure conduct.
\nKural 136<\/p>\n

The firm-minded never slacken in upholding virtuous conduct,
\nfor they know the miseries brought on by such neglect.
\nKural 137<\/p>\n

By honest conduct one achieves honorable eminence,
\nwhile corrupt conduct brings one nothing but blame.
\nKural 138<\/p>\n

Good conduct is the seed in virtue’s field;
\nwicked conduct’s harvest is never-ending sorrow.
\nKural 139<\/p>\n

Men who conduct themselves virtuously
\nare incapable of voicing harmful words, even forgetfully.
\nKural 140<\/p>\n

Those who cannot live in harmony with the world,
\nthough they have learned many things, are still ignorant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
