#KROM 22. Where Book Learning Fails?
Even if one reads variety of lofty books, only his natural intelligence will still prevail during real-life situations.
நுண்ணிய நூல் பல கற்பினும் மற்றும் தன்
உண்மை அறிவே மிகும். 373
nuNNiya nool pala kaRpinum maRRum than
uNmai aRivE migum.
Normally, self-help is the best form of help when acting upon aspects where mind is the actor! However, when it comes to life's learning or spirituality, it involves understanding one's own mind (i.e., mind is acted upon by the same mind as actor). As we saw before (Kural 849), it is not easy for himself to comprehend beyond what one knows. Reading lofty books intellectually merely reflect his own state of consciousness. More over, the spiritual path (Dharma) is mentioned as a narrow, razor-edge path. It is easy to get a wrong interpretation with limited intelligence and the consequence of that would be grave. The more important ingredient to break this apparent paradox is faith in the guidance of someone who had traveled this path!
Let us see how Sri Valluvar recommends one learn, shortly.
