46/04. மனத்து ளதுபோலக் காட்டி ஒருவற்கு
இனத்துளவு ஆகும் அறிவு.
46/04. Manaththu lladhupolak kaatti oruvarrku
Enaththullavu aagum arrive.
46/04. One's knowledge first comes out from his mind.
But if it is seen deeply, it comes out of the company he keeps.
***
Balaram: One's behavior comes out of his friends only.
Hari: One builds up his habits
From the company he keeps.
A smoker his friend is, he smokes,
A drunkard his friend is, he drinks.
His friend is good, he's also good.
His friend is bad, he's also bad.
This way one shapes
His personal traits.
Whatever things he talks
From his mind it comes,
But it has the influence
Of the company he keeps.
***
46/05. மனத்தூய்மை செய்வினை தூய்மை இரண்டும்
இனம்தூய்மை தூவா வரும்.
46/05. Manaththuimai seivinai thuimai iranndum
Inamthuimai thoovaa varum.
46/05. If one's mind and actions are good
It is because of the company he keeps.
***
Balaram: One's mind and actions depends upon his friends.
Hari: Mind is a bundle of thoughts.
If it's not controlled, it wavers.
So, mind needs perfection,
As it influences every action.
"Mind is in its own place,
It's the man who makes
Heaven out of hell,
Or hell out of heaven."
This proverb goes to say,
Mind behaves in the way,
A man doing good things,
Or works on bad things.
***
46/06. மனம்தூயார்க்கு எச்சம்நன்று ஆகும்; இனம்தூயார்க்கு
இல்லைநன்று ஆகா வினை.
46/06. Manamthooyarkku echcham aagum; inamthooyaarkku
Illainandru aagaa vinay.
46/06. For one who has a pure mind, his progeny will come as good.
And if he has a good company, there will be no unfinished action.
***
Balaram: With the help of good friends, one can easily do a job.
Hari: There is a saying, "Two is a company,
Three is a crowd."
Some work should be done alone
And some jobs with a team of wise men.
To a man with a pure mind,
His offspring will be good.
"As father is, so is the son, "
For that, mind must be kept clean.
Everything depends upon
One's mind and action;
If both are under control,
In his life, he'll be successful.
