#KROM 45. "A Subtle Head to Heart Relationship!"

What is the use of one's intellect if he is not able to protect others by feeling their pain as his own?

அறிவினான் ஆகுவது உண்டோ பிறிதின் நோய்
தம் நோய் போல் போற்றாக் கடை. 315

arivinaan aaguvadhu uNDO piRithin nOi
tham nOi pOl pORRaak kaDai.

Here Sri Valluvar illustrates a wonderful symbiotic relationship between the intelligence and the feeling. The development of intelligence, which is a refinement of the thought process, must go hand in hand with the heart's feeling and the growth of both faculties together culminates in true wisdom. An one-sided development leads to imbalance in one's temperament that would result in misunderstanding others of different temperament - a root cause of all types of conflicts. In this Kural, Sri Valluvar is not content with just discouraging a negative behavior of avoiding conflicts and he goes a step forward and encourages a positive behavior of alleviating pain of others!
