2013-01 Thiruvalluvar - Learn & Live T391
[After repeated study of the 380 couplets on Virtue and 700 on Wealth in the ancient Tamil Classic ThirukkuraL, I decided at the age of 15 that couplet 391 on Learning would be my ideal. I share it with you here. After 50 more years of study, there was a tie with another couplet which you will read in my next post.]
What to Learn and How to Live?
Here, Saint Poet Thiruvalluvar
ties up the two action words: LEARN and LIVE.
First, LEARN. Learn; What?
Learn what is worth learning.
Next, LIVE. Live; How?
Live by that learning.
Learn what is worth learning.
Next, LIVE. Live; How?
Live by that learning.
In Thiruvalluvar’s masterwork, ThirukkuraL,
couplet 391 on Education reads as follows:
“LEARN faultlessly, what is worth learning;
After learning, LIVE by that learning.”
"கற்க கசடறக் கற்பவை ; கற்ற பின்
நிற்க அதற்குத் தக." [கு. 391]
Study, Meditate on and Practice -- "Learn-Live".
