Chapter 13: Possession of Self-Control Kural 121 Self-control will place one among the Gods, while lack of it will lead to deepest darkness. Kural 122 Guard your self-control as a precious treasure, for there is no greater wealth in life than this. Kural 123 Comprehending and acquiring self-control confers upon one the esteem of wise men. Kural 124 More imposing than a mountain is the greatness of a man who, steadfast in domestic life, has mastered self-control. Kural 125 Humility is a precious quality in all people, but it has a rare richness in the rich. Kural 126 Like a tortoise withdrawing five limbs into its shell, those who restrain the five senses in one life will find safe shelter for seven. Kural 127 Whatever you may fail to guard, guard well your tongue, for flawed speech unfailingly invokes anguish and affliction. Kural 128 The goodness of all one's virtues can be lost by speaking even a single word of injury. Kural 129 The wound caused by fire heals in its time; the burn inflicted by an inflamed tongue never heals. Kural 130 Virtue will wait in the streets to meet a man possessed of learning and self-discipline, his anger subdued. • Email to a friend • Click for details on Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami's next mission.
