Quote for a life time - 3

Kurral:

"Nunnmaann nuzhaipulam illaan ezhilnalam
mannmaann punaipaavai attru"

Meaning:

If you don't have an analytical mind, whatever you learn will be like a doll made of soil.

Description:

We may learn many languages, read all the scriptures and cram all the epics of the world, but if we don't analyse what we have learnt, then it is not useful, it is like a doll made of mud and soil. We should have that analytical ability, that curious mind to analyse and we should be able to apply our learnings to this world.

Nunnmaann nuzhaipulam - analytical ability
illaan - a man without
ezhilnalam - the learnings of a man
manmaan - made of sand
punaipaavai - a crafted doll
attru - like
