48. "All Knowledge is Inside!" #KURAL 396

#KROM 48. "All Knowledge is Inside!"

As you dig deeper (and remove the blocking crusts) in the well, the water oozes out. So does the fount of knowledge oozes out as you learn deeply (and remove the growth-blocking negative tendencies)!

தொட்டனைத்து ஊறும் மணற்கேணி மாந்தர்க்கு
கற்றனைத்து ஊறும் அறிவு.  396

thoTTanaitthu ooRum maNaRkENi maandharkku
kaRRanaitthu ooRum aRivu.

Through this beautiful analogy, Sri Valluvar figuratively conveys that the knowledge is truly inside and external aspects aid it to unfold. Here, the word "thoTTu" literally means "touching" that can be taken as either digging or removing the blocking deposits or both together, as done above. It is said, all-knowing intuitive knowledge is rooted in every heart with its circumference nowhere. It is also said, the true learning is really "unlearning" of what was learnt wrongly so that the all-knowing true nature of the soul shines forth.
