#KROM 25. Beware of Outwardly Religious but Dark Inside!
Beware of those who outwardly decorate themselves with ocher (saffron color, symbolizes purity) robe, but are dark inside in their heart. They are like the bead 'kunRimaNi' with its body in red color with a black dot at its corner.
புறம் குன்றி கண்டனையரேனும் அகம் குன்றி
மூக்கிற் கரியார் உடைத்து. 277
puram kunRi kaNDanayarEnum agam kunRi
mUkkiR kariyaar uDaitthu.
(kunRi (1st ) = kunRimaNi = a red color bead with a black dot at its nose; kunRi (2nd) = defect)
Inner attitude is more important than outer symbols. Although outer religious signs help for easy identification and also help to keep away the notorious elements from mingling, they are relevant only with the corresponding inner realization or intention. Otherwise, these inconsistent hypocrites by their actions mislead commoners to lose faith in the religion.
