Araththaaru idhu endru arivuruthal aatradeer
Sirakka thirivare thirunduvaar.
Those who wander greatly (in the paths of virtue) will reform themselves — those who cannot show the path of virtue.
அறத்தின் வழியை யாருக்காவது காட்ட முடியாதவர்கள், தாமே அறனில் சிறப்பாக நடந்து திருந்துவார்கள்.
If you cannot teach others the path of virtue, at least practice it yourself and reform your own life. This pragmatic kural says: even if you lack the ability to guide others, the path of virtue is available directly to you. Self-reform through direct practice is always possible.
