திருக்குறள்

பொறிவாயில் ஐந்தவித்தான் பொய்தீர் ஒழுக்க
நெறிநின்றார் நீடுவாழ் வார்.

பொருள்: ஐம்பொறி வாயிலாகப் பிறக்கும் வேட்கைகளை அவித்த இறைவனுடைய பொய்யற்ற ஒழுக்க நெறியில் நின்றவர், நிலை பெற்ற நல்வாழ்க்கை வாழ்வர்.

They prosper long who walk His way
Who has the senses signed away. 

English Meaning: Those who follow the pure, flawless path of the One who has overcome the five sensory desires will enjoy lasting prosperity. This suggests that by aligning with the example of a being who has conquered attachment to sensory pleasures—sights, sounds, tastes, touches, and smells—one can attain true inner stability and success. This detachment from fleeting desires leads to clarity, focus, and a deeper sense of fulfillment, allowing individuals to build a life grounded in spiritual strength and wisdom that endures beyond temporary gains.
