This blog is exclusively reserved for posting Thirukural - both in Tamil & English. It will also include an explanation of the Kurals in English for the benefit of all IL'ites visiting this space.
This is a collective work by a few IL'ites to share the knowledge of Thirukural amongst the IndusLadies Community.
We used to post '5 Kurals a day' earlier. In order to give more time for the readers to read it, absorb it and enrich this space with their comments, we have changed the frequency to a weekly blog posting of '10 Kurals a week'.
Hope you will all enjoy the Kurals. Do not forget to leave your comments on our effort.

371. ஆகூழால் தோன்றும் அசைவின்மை; கைப்பொருள்
போகூழால் தோன்றும் மடி.
Aagoozhaal thorum asaivinmai; kaiporul
pokoozhaal thorum madi.
Resolutions and perseverance comes to a man when good fate comes to him, but laziness prevails when it disappears.
372.பேதை படுக்கும் இழவூழ்; அறிவகற்றும்
ஆகலூழ் உற்ற கடை.
Paedhai padukkum izhavoozh; arivagattrum
aagaloozh uttra kadai.
Bad fate dulls one's mental strength, but when good fate is upon him, it will expand his intelligence, first.
373. நுண்ணிய நூல்பல கற்பினும் மற்றும்தன்
உண்மை அறிவே மிகும்.
Nuniya nool pala karpinum mattrumthan
unmai arivae migum.
Whatever knowledge a man acquires through his learning of subtle works, what remains with him is the knowledge that fate decreed unto him.
374.இருவே(று) உலகத்(து) இயற்கை; திருவேறு
தெள்ளியர் ஆதலும் வேறு.
Iruvaeru ulagathu iyarkai; thiruvaeru
thelliyar aadhalum vaeru.
Acquiring wealth and knowledge are two separate fates that a man is ordained with.
375.நல்லவை எல்லாம் தீயவாம்; தீயவும்
நல்லவாம் செல்வம் செயற்கு.
Nallavai yellam theeyavaam; theevavum
nallavaam selvam seyarkku.
When the tide is against a person, even the good things will turn bad, but when the tide is on, even the evil things turn good.
