தேவர் அனையர் கயவர்; அவரும் தாம்
மேவன செய்து ஒழுகலான்.
dEvar anaiyar kayavar; avarum thaam
mEvana seithu ozhugalaan.
(kayavar = people with baseness)
Freedom is not in doing the way one wants to, but it is in doing the way one should!
(Y. Brother: I thought, saints are serious in nature; isn't Sri Valluvar being sarcastic here? Also, from this Kural, it is not yet clear to me how these people are "lower" than the most miserable ones?
In this chapter and many other places, Sri Valluvar used sarcasm at its best! While it is wounding, the sarcastic remarks make a person to think deeper.
...
Let's see a couple of more Kurals from this chapter which will make it clear!)
