Arrogance and Humility

ஆணவம் தலைமாட்டில் அமர்ந்தது அடக்கம் காலடியில் அமர்ந்தது -கண்ணதாசன்

(Translation)

Arrogance perches like a crown on the head,

Humility, sits unobtrusively at the foot

- Tamil Poet Kannadasan

 In the hierarchy of virtues, my friend, arrogance and humility occupy vastly different positions. Arrogance perches like a crown on the head,

puffing up the ego and distorting one's perspective.

Humility, on the other hand, sits unobtrusively at the foot,

grounding us in reality and fostering empathy for others.

It is only by cultivating humility that we can truly understand and appreciate the world around us.

Arrogance blinds us to our faults and limits our potential,

while humility opens our hearts and minds to new possibilities.

Friend, Be like the pressure cooker:

Pressure on head, Fire below

still whistle

You will be relieved pressure!

So let us strive always for the grace of humility, my friend, and walk humbly through this world.
