Even the unlearned may become 'very good', on one condition: that they keep silent before the learned. Though it seems a verse that belittles the unlearned, it in fact shows them a simple way to win respect.\n\nSilence is the cloth that hides ignorance. The measure of a silent person's knowledge cannot be known. But as soon as he starts to speak, the state of his knowledge becomes plain. So if the unlearned keep silent in an assembly, they not only avoid disgrace but gain the chance to learn by listening.\n\n'Nallar' here does not mean good in knowledge but good in conduct, a restrained person. The word 'perin' is important; that is, keeping silent is not easy. Those who are ignorant often wish to speak a great deal. To be able to hold back that urge is itself a good quality.\n\nSome commentators call this a verse with a touch of irony, and say that Valluvar wished to prevent the unlearned from speaking and being disgraced. In any case it is a verse that spurs us to learn: the unlearned who keep silent are good, and if they learn more they will become scholars.\n\nIn meetings today, in a discussion on a field we do not know, to let those who know speak and to listen is the beginning of wisdom. The humility to say 'I do not know this; please tell me' is not lowliness but the way to learn.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb9\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc8","story_ta":"\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb9\u0bb0\u0bbf \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b9c\u0bcd\u0b9c\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b95\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9e\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0b9a\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb0 \u0b9a\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0baf \u0b9a\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b86\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba9. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bcc\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1.\n\n\u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb3\u0bae\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.

His three hundred-verse collections, the Nitishataka, Shringarashataka and Vairagyashataka, are honoured even today. One verse among them concerns ignorance and silence.\n\nIn a verse written in his youth he tells of his own experience. 'When I knew only a little, I was proud like a rutting elephant and thought I knew everything. Later, when I learned a little from the wise and saw how much I did not know, my pride subsided like a fever.' That is its sense.\n\nIn another verse he speaks of the worth of silence for the unlearned in an assembly. 'The Creator has given ignorance a veil; it is silence. It belongs to them as their own and always brings good. In an assembly of the learned, silence is the ornament of the unlearned.' That is the thought.\n\nBhartrihari in the end gave up the kingdom and took to renunciation. His life was a journey from pride to humility and from speech to silence. This is the practical form of the verse, 'kattraarmun sollaathirukkap perin'.\n\nThere is also a famous traditional tale about Bhartrihari. A Brahmin gave him a rare fruit, saying that whoever ate it would have life without death. Bhartrihari gave it to his beloved wife Pingala. She gave it to one she favoured. When it came round and reached him again, he realised how impermanent worldly ties are and took to renunciation, tradition says. This tale shows the beginning of his wisdom.\n\nIn the Nitishataka he sang that learning is a person's hidden wealth, and that a man without literature and music is like an animal without tail or horns. So he understood both the worth of speech and the worth of silence. It is striking that his thought agrees with what Valluvar says here. Only one who knows the power of words knows the worth of silence.","reflection_ta":"\u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc2\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b95\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd? \u0b85\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc2\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"In which gathering could you listen more and speak less this week, and what might you learn?","image_prompt":"A scene in an ancient Indian court: a thoughtful King Bhartrihari with palm-leaf manuscript listening while a plain man sits quietly among scholars who debate with raised hands, lamps and pillars, warm 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\/605","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\/605\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2473,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/605\/revisions\/2473"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=605"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=605"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=605"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=605"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
