Kural of the week:
------------------
Nilathhuiyalbaan neerthirinthu attraagum maandharkku
inathhiyalbathu aagum arivu.
[Nilam - land; iyalbu - property; neer - water; thirinthu - become
bad; attragum - unusable; maandhar - man; inam - friends (and
surroundings); arivu - knowledge]
{As the (color & other properties of) water is affected by the
land it is in, so also a man's knowledge depends on his friends and
companions around him.}
Do you know why ?
-----------------
A good old indian custom is - to get 'aasirvaadh(am)' or blessings
whenever you meet a elder or wise person, by touching their feet
(particularly their thumbs or big fingers on their feet). But, most of
us may not be knowing the real reason behind this.
Though you may or may not beleive - it is said that a part of their
Energy descends from their thumbs to the person doing so, thereby adding
more Energy to him.
[Ofcourse, not my interpretation. Read somewhere. ]
