Even if the water becomes hot water, it will quench the fire.
The Basic characteristic of a substance will remain even if it
undergoes certain changes. Probably an Indian is always an Indian
wherever he stays in the world(some one like me!..being in American I
still have all love for Tamil!)
“Foul water as soon as fair, will quench hot fire.”
மலை அத்தனை சாமிக்குக் கடுகு அத்தனை கர்பூரம் .
To the god as big as the mountains, one prays with a camphor in size
of a mustard seed.
Said in gratitude and about magnanimity of person. God who is so
great blesses you even if you pray him buring a small camphor. He sees
the heart not with your ability to repay.
பழம் பழுத்தால் , கொம்பிலே தங்காது.
When a fruit becomes ripe, it would be too heavy for the branch to
hold it.
When the time comes, certain things which are meant to happen will
happen even if you dont want it that way. Student has to leave the
school when he is educated. Son has to move away from house to earn
his livelihood. Daughter has to leave the house after her marriage.
அள்ளாது குறையாது , சொல்லாது பிறவாது .
It will never decrease if it is not taken, if it is not spoken it
never comes out.
Knowledge is everywhere, you have to find it and use it. If you dont
take effort to access others knowledge , there will be no knowledge
transfer. If you don't speak your mind out and give your knowledge to
others, your knowledge also remains useless.
“Every why has a wherefore.”
மாவு இருக்கிற மனதைப்போல், கூழில் இருக்கும் குணம் .
The gruel’s will be as good as the flavor of the ingredient flour.
Simple proverb. You are as good as your upbringing.
மனம் கொண்டது மாளிகை.
Any place is a palace if your heart decides so.
The world is as good as the way you see it. If your satisfied with
your small hut, it feels like a place to live inside it. Like Krishana
who thought even a handful of rice(aval) from Sudama is a worthy
treat.
” A yood hope is better than a bad possession.” “
Fancy may bolt bran and think it four.”
” A black plum is as sweet as a white.”
உலகத்துக்கு ஞானம் பேய் , ஞானத்திற்கு உலகம் பேய் .
For the world wisdom is the biggest evil, for wisdom world is the
biggest evil.
People in the world like to live in their own way. They wouldn’t like
to be advised to behave in a wise way. Thats why you see Barathiyar
hated by his own community (while he lived) or people who hate police
for strictly enforcing law. For wisdom the people of the world are the
biggest enemy.
i.e., The world and Wisdom (Guana) are opposed.
வண்ணானுக்கும் நிர்வாணிக்கும் உறவு என்ன ?
What relationship can a washerman and a naked asetic have?
Washerman lives on the money he earns from washing clothes of other
people. Proverb is aimed at people who share no common interest but
stay together like alliance between parties before election.
பொங்கின பால் போயப்பால்
Boiling milk is always deceptive.
When milk boils, it raises and looks foamy and it occupies the whole
container. But the actuall volume after it cools down is really less.
Any sudden inflation is always deceptive like the share market.
அம்மணத்தேசத்தில் கோமணம் கட்டினவன் பைத்தியக்காரன் .
In a nation of naked people, the one who wears a rag is considered a
mad man.
” You must do in Rome as Rome does.”.
