ThiruvaLLuvar on Education

பொருட்பால் - அரசியல் - கல்வி

உவப்பத் தலைக்கூடி உள்ளப் பிரிதல் 
அனைத்தே புலவர் தொழில்.

The very natural poise of a well learned, wonderfully educated scholar will only embrace pleasing manners and interaction  with one and all.Just The other must be lead to reflect, ‘when can I get the earliest opporuniy to enjoy the spring-like company of this preciously pleasant comrade?’ Only this is prescribed as his profession.  

ஒருமைக்கண் தான்கற்ற கல்வி ஒருவற்கு 
எழுமையும் ஏமாப் புடைத்து.

If one learns rather studies in his one birth a branch of knowledge/an aspect of it, it carries over with him through all his 7 births.

    This is a gift/a boon, since the person will automatically take over his learning /study, from where he left in his previous birth. The benefit of this gift can drive into one’s  consciousness only if one is convinced about the law of life after death, as well life before death and the unit of 7 births playing it’s role in the journey of a JeevAthmA througghe the programmed 84 lakhs of births.

                                                                         

கேடில் விழுச்செல்வம் கல்வி யொருவற்கு 
மாடல்ல மற்றை யவை.

       ThiruvaLLuvar has given his definition of wealth staying in his lofty spiritual frame of exploration. In the above cited kuraL he gloriously defines, that possession ,which is  indestructible, unlootable and everlasting as the best wealth. He says for one, education (kalvi) proper is the best wonderful wealth which cannot be plundered, nor is it destructible. The other forms of wealth, normally sought after by people like gold, gems, land and house are not so glorious as the best education.     

        Have 100% faith in the great soul named ThiruvaLLuvar, in his immortal “KURAL’.think deeply, how much wealth the author could have amassed if only he chose to charge 1000/-Rs. Or 100$ per each ‘KuraL’. They did not dare to touch the $ or the rupee, (even with a  pair of Tongs.)
