Vendaamai anna vizhumiyathu aagum Oonda ulaghil oruvarkku.

There is nothing as excellent as non-desire for the one living in this world.

இந்த உலகில் வாழும் ஒருவருக்கு வேண்டாமை (ஆசையின்மை) போல் சிறந்தது வேறொன்றும் இல்லை.

Non-wanting (vendaamai) is the supreme excellence. In a world that constantly promotes wanting more, Valluvar says freedom from wanting is the single greatest achievement. Non-desire is not deprivation but liberation — the highest state available to a worldly person.
