They declare firmly, \"I have not drunk.\" Valluvar tells them here to give up that denial, because it is not only useless but harmful. The denial is a lie. That lie joins the drinking and makes the fault larger. 'Oliththathoom aange migum' means the fault hidden there itself grows.\n\nCommentators give two explanations. One is that if he denies, the fault hidden in his mind will show itself more, because his face, speech and gait reveal the truth. The other is that the lie hidden in the mind will grow there. Taken together, denial is not an escape but an act that deepens the entanglement.\n\nIt is hard to admit a fault. But that is the first step to mending. One who denies his fault feeds it without knowing. One who honestly admits it will find help and also the opportunity to change.\n\nThis is not only for drinking. It applies to every fault. To tell a lie after doing wrong gets us into a deeper tangle. What began as a small fault becomes a great offence through lies.\n\nSo Valluvar indirectly teaches that the courage to accept the truth directly is the greatest strength of a person. Those who have that courage are the ones who can put their lives in order and go forward.","story_title_ta":"\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb2 \u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd

old gurukula. There the learned teacher Vedhiyar taught Tamil, Sanskrit, mathematics and music to ten students. Among them Manikandan was the sharpest. He could commit difficult poems to memory easily. But he had one flaw: when he did wrong he hesitated to admit it.\n\nOn a festival day he went with friends to the village grove. Some young men were drinking toddy there. Urged by his friends, Manikandan also took a sip. When he returned to the gurukula, the teacher was sitting at the door.\n\n\"Manikandan, where did you go?\" he asked. \"To the festival, master.\" There was a slight stumble in his voice. The teacher came near. \"Did you drink something today?\" he asked gently. Manikandan was startled. \"No, master, I have never been drunk,\" he said firmly.\n\nThe teacher smiled quietly. \"I know what a sharp student you are. You repeat a poem after hearing it once. Today there is a stumble in your speech. There is no clearness in your eyes. Your denial tells the truth more firmly than anything,\" he said. Manikandan bowed his head.\n\n\"To err is human. But when we wish to hide it, another fault is born in the mind: the lie. One fault becomes two, two become four,\" said the teacher. \"Tell the truth. You have not disappointed me; the only sorrow is the lack of courage to speak truth.\"\n\nManikandan, in tears, admitted the truth. The teacher embraced him and said, \"Accepting the truth is your first victory.\" From then on he formed the habit of saying honestly even his faults. Later, when he became a fine teacher himself, he taught his students the same.","reflection_ta":"\u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f \u0b92\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bca\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8f\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1?","reflection_en":"When did owning up to a mistake turn out to be easier than hiding it?","image_prompt":"A gurukula teacher seated on a verandah by the Kaveri speaking gently to a young student who stands with bowed head, palm-leaf manuscripts and a lamp beside them, other students in the courtyard, palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, ornate gold border, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/verse"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2269,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1130\/revisions\/2269"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=1130"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=1130"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=1130"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=1130"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=1130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
