Abstract

Morality is the adherence to ethical ethics that do not harm others in society. Even the food should not be eaten immediately. One should eat only after giving it to others sitting around him. Ethics should be followed in all the diet, speech, and writing. Only the people who practice asceticism have the right to virtue. This section clarifies what morality means, ignoring the idea that morals cannot be practiced by ordinary people who follow worldly life. The best virtue is to live without harming others even if one is unable to do anything. Udaiyar’s novel emphasizes the idea that man needs four kinds of affirmations, namely, virtue, wealth, pleasure, and home. Thiruvalluvar in particular refers to the same thing. The novel Udaiyar speaks of the moral idea of helping others in worldly life. Human beings should be kind to the poor and needy. They should strive to redress their grievances. Those who live in a higher position in society should take into consideration the interests of the people living under them and fulfill their needs. If we live away from ourselves from dirt, expectation, and innocence, our hearts will become a place where God dwells. Once one's body becomes weak and he is of no use to others and the world, he should renounce all attachments to the world except God. This study shows that by doing so, it is easier to attain salvation. In any of the actions we do in our youth, we should engage in good things that do not harm society. By doing so, society progresses and the country progresses. We can attach ourselves to the domains of home life, the creation of material wealth, and the creation of educational wealth. But in those fields, we must plant righteous acts of virtue.
