THE KURAL
116. When thy heart swerveth from the right and turneth unto evil, know that thy destruction is near at hand.
117. The world looketh not down on the poverty of the upright and virtuous man.
118. Behold the weighing beam, for it is straight in itself and weigheth justly : the glory of the wise is to be like unto it and to incline neither to this side nor to that.
119. Behold the man who swerveth not at all from the right in his own mind : the upright speech of his lips is a judgment.
120. Behold the business man that looketh after the interests of others as his own : his business will expand.
