37. "Criteria for Dharma - Simply Defined Yet Difficult to Achieve!" #KURAL 34

#KROM 37. "Criteria for Dharma - Simply Defined Yet Difficult to Achieve!"

Making one's mind free from all impurities is an all-inclusive, complete Dharma (set of virtues). Everything else is only restless pomp and show!

மனத்துக்கண் மாசு இலன் ஆதல் அனைத்து அறன்;
ஆகுல நீர பிற. 34

manatthukkaN maasu ilan aadhal anaitthu aRan
aakula nIra piRa.

(aakula = aaravaaram = pomp and show, restlessness)

The mental "impurities" referred here are any negative attitudes, emotions, or tendencies...
So, what is the connection between one's mental purity to Dharma, that too all-inclusive?
One sees the world through his mind. He reflects outside what is inside him. It is difficult to know what is right or wrong so long as the judging mind itself is not pure. When he cleanses his mind, the world appears to him as they are, in reality, and then, it becomes effortless (i.e., without mental "friction") for him to perform actions that are in tune with nature.
