Thirukkural-On Wealth-On Wisdom-Kural-429
On Wisdom
oi-Priya
By Priya Devi
Adhira varuvadhoar noy.
Wise
men
who
can
read
the
signs
and
foresee
developments,
Will
not
be
shocked
by
emerging
distressful
situations.
Men of true knowledge and deep thought will know beforehand what is likely to befall, and, therefore, they will not be the victims of any kind of stunning grief.
K Srinivasan elegantly translates this Kural as follows:
“The
wise,
who
coming
ills
foresee,
from
future
dreaded
shocks
are
free."
Kurals 427 and 429 emphasise the same idea in different ways.
