Today · Thirukkural · verse 1117 · Love

அறுவாய் நிறைந்த அவிர்மதிக்குப் க்குப் போல மறுவுண்டோ மாதர் முகத்து.

Aruvaai nirainda avir madhikkup kupp pol Maruva undō mādhur mukhatthu.

As the full moon shines with six rays of light, / what flaw could appear on a beloved's face?

Attachment blinds us with its own radiance. The Stoic asks not whether beauty is flawless, but whether the mind that perceives only flawlessness has become enslaved to an illusion it mistakes for sight.
