0:00I want to tell you something. See how
0:03the words that reach us in life end up
0:05being understood. I was reading a book
0:09and learned a subtle truth. You may be
0:12poor, but you shouldn't have a poor
0:14mindset. It's just a book; I read a
0:18couple of pages. Something is going
0:21deep inside; I am conveying it to you,
0:23see if you understand. A king was
0:25riding on a horse, and a beggar was
0:27sitting there. The king felt pity, so
0:28he tossed a copper coin at the beggar.
0:30Instead of catching it, the beggar let
0:32it fall into the gutter. The king
0:34became concerned. The king turned his
0:35horse around and went back, but the
0:37beggar was reaching into the gutter,
0:38searching for that copper coin. "Hey,
0:40don't look for it! Here, take this
0:42silver coin." He took the silver coin,
0:44but kept searching the gutter for the
0:45copper one. The king said, "I told you
0:47to stop! Isn't this enough for you?""
0:49Here, take this gold coin." The beggar
0:51took the gold coin too, but kept
0:53reaching into the gutter, still
0:54searching. "King, when will you stop
0:57that?" No, the king is talking, but the
0:59man is still searching the gutter. "
1:02Fine, I will make you a king," the king
1:04said, "I'll give you half my kingdom."
1:07If even that kingdom includes this
1:09gutter, what would you do with this
1:11mindset? The mind—it is reading that
1:15cleanses its filth. If you read, that
1:18filth will be washed away; nothing else
1:20can wash it. Only through knowledge and
1:23wisdom can the dirt in the mind be
1:24cleansed. That is why we must read.
1:28Shall I say a word? They all spoke,
1:30right? Brother, he spoke choosing only
1:32good words; everything comes across as
1:34good words. Take one word; there was a
1:37poet we all know whose wife could not
1:39have children. Because there were no
1:41children, they kept asking him to marry
1:43his sister-in-law. Namakkal Kavignar
1:45said, "I will not marry her." That girl
1:47waited for seven years, but he said, "I
1:49won't marry, my life is with you."
1:50Finally, after seven years, she said, "
1:52Are you going to marry me or not?""I
1:54won't eat," she said, and he asked her
1:56one word. "While you are alive, how can
1:58I marry another?" That night she died a
2:01natural death. A word can destroy. A
2:05word can kill. A man goes to his wife,
2:08driven by lust. She had gone to her
2:09mother's house, saying she could not
2:11stay with this man. He goes through a
2:13storm. The girl's house is on a
2:15mountain. He climbs the mountain. He
2:16climbs by grabbing onto roots. Only
2:18later did he realize those roots were
2:20snakes. When he stood before his wife
2:24with a filthy mind, she said, "Turn
2:26this lust you have for me into devotion
2:28and place it upon Rama." That is when
2:31Tulsidas wrote the Ramayana. This is
2:34how a word reaches us. We don't know
2:36which word will open our doors. I am
2:38going to say something; you shouldn't
2:39be afraid. Are there children at home?
2:42Are there wives? Is there a sister? Are
2:44there parents? Are there elderly people
2:47? Be careful. I heard something
2:50recently, and I'll share what I read.
2:53Ever since I learned that, my life has
2:54not been the same. I am very careful
2:57and always speak positive words. I do
3:00not use negative words because I know
3:02the universe listens to our words; a
3:04spoken word never disappears, it
3:06circles around and comes back to us. Be
3:10careful; there is a wealthy man who
3:12kept two dogs. I say it this way: Osho
3:16used to say that stories are understood
3:18faster by common people who claim they
3:20haven't studied anything, rather than
3:22by intellectuals. It's true—people
3:26say they don't know anything, but they
3:28have actually studied a lot. They have
3:31studied humans, politics, economics,
3:34and society. We study all eight just to
3:36bring some changes in them. That's all.
3:40There was a man who owned two dogs; he
3:42was a very rich man and went for a walk
3:44daily. A thief had been observing this
3:47rich man. I’ve been watching for a
3:50long time. I told him directly, "Hey,
3:52one day I will steal from your house.""
3:54In my house?""Yes, try to stop me if
3:56you can." Three days later, in the
3:58morning, someone knocked on the door;
4:00when he opened it, it was the thief. He
4:02brought a box, opened it, and said, "
4:04Look at everything in front of you—is
4:05it your stuff?""Yes, I took all this
4:07from your house last night.""Just to
4:09show my capability, that's why.""I
4:10don’t want it, no, no. You told me
4:12you would come, and I wasn’t careful.
4:14If you had told me you earned this, I
4:15would have taken it.""I don’t want it
4:17, thank you, sir," and he just left!
4:19The man who was leaving was stopped;
4:21this is the message for you and me. The
4:24wealthy man stopped him and asked, "
4:26Everything is fine, but how did you
4:28handle these two big dogs?""Two German
4:31Shepherds—a bite would mean a
4:33quarter-kilo lost!""How did you handle
4:35them?""They are loyal dogs. I’ve been
4:36raising them since they were little
4:38pups for seven or eight years.""How did
4:39you handle them?" The thief said one
4:41word; keep it in your mind. Don’t
4:43share it with anyone. Keep it inside
4:45and make some changes. "What do you
4:48feed these dogs daily?""Mutton and
4:51chicken, right?""Yes.""I noticed for
4:54three days what you were feeding them.
4:56I gave them sardines." Okay, he left.
5:02He closed the door, brought both dogs,
5:03made them stand in the middle of the
5:05house, and they were sitting there.
5:07Both dogs. Do you know what the rich
5:09man did? He fell at the feet of both
5:11those dogs. He fell and said, "Forgive
5:14me, brothers.""Father, I made a mistake
5:17.""I didn't raise you by feeding you
5:19your favorite food, did I?""As soon as
5:21someone from outside fed you, you ate
5:22it.""I am the reason you behaved
5:24thanklessly. Please forgive me," he
5:27cried out loud. Do you know one thing?
5:29In that spot where those two dogs were
5:31sitting...After that, those two dogs
5:32never moved anywhere. One died after
5:35nine days of hunger, and the other died
5:37after 11 days of hunger. Both died.
5:40From the third day, he kept begging, "
5:42Father, I spoke wrongly, forgive me,
5:44it’s okay." If you take forgiveness
5:47to heart like that, that’s it—
5:48consider it learned. You understand
5:51what words to speak to whom and what
5:53words not to speak to whom. Otherwise,
5:55we end up being the victims. To avoid
5:57becoming a victim, we must study. There
5:59is Bihar, right? I will tell you a
6:00story told among the tribes there. I
6:02study, I keep studying continuously. I
6:06am sharing this to convey something to
6:07you, to bring some light into your life
6:09. There was a flock of pigeons. The
6:13head pigeon, the one who protected
6:15everyone from hunting, looked at a
6:17small pigeon in that flock, and that
6:19pigeon asked, "Leader, whom should we
6:20fear the most?" The dove said, "You
6:24should be afraid of the hunter who
6:25takes aim." I asked your mother, "Does
6:28your son say it right?" She said, "Yes,
6:30one must fear the hunter who takes aim.
6:33" But the leader said, "A hunter who
6:36takes aim will kill only one person;
6:37you should fear the hunter who doesn't
6:39know how to aim, for we might just be
6:41watching and get killed without even
6:43knowing he was targeting us." When we
6:47fundamentally understand some things
6:48said by indigenous people, we move in a
6:50different direction from the life we
6:52have lived so far. I keep telling you
6:54to read, and here is another reason why
6:55. I am quoting Parveen Sultana here;
6:57what I read yesterday is different from
6:59when I read the same sentence today, as
7:01I gain a different kind of wisdom,
7:02which is why one must read. I might
7:04have read a statement yesterday, and I
7:05just can't seem to understand that
7:07statement. Yesterday I understood it
7:08one way, but as I keep reading, today I
7:10understand it differently. I understand
7:11. I am asking you all for the meaning
7:13of a verse; tell me. "Epporul"(Whatever
7:16thing)...You know that, right? Does
7:23everyone know the meaning? No matter
7:26who says something, what should you
7:28look for, and what should you pay
7:29attention to? "Apporul meipporul
7:32kaanbadhu arivu"(To discern the truth
7:34in that thing is wisdom). Is the word "
7:36truth" too rough to use? Explain it so
7:40this young man understands: "Epporul
7:42yaar yaar vaai ketpinum apporul
7:44meipporul kaanbadhu arivu." It is here,
7:49I know it is here, but I don't know how
7:51to say it. It's not that I don't know
7:53it. Let me explain it now; see if your
7:56understanding changes even slightly.
7:59Look, there is a man lying down in a
8:01gutter after drinking. A young boy is
8:03going to the liquor shop to buy alcohol
8:05. The man lying down says, "Don't drink
8:08." What would the boy say to the man in
8:11the gutter? "You are lying there drunk
8:14yourself; what right do you have to
8:15tell me?" Then the man who fell says, "
8:19Who else could be more qualified than
8:20me?""I am ruined and lying in the
8:23gutter; who else can tell you better
8:24than me?""Don't drink." Do you
8:26understand now? "Epporul yaar yaar vaai
8:29ketpinum"—whoever says something, you
8:31should not make fun of them. If you
8:33make fun of them, I will call you up
8:35and make you speak. I know you are at a
8:36certain stage, right? Nobody fails in
8:39my class, and I don't let anyone fail.
8:45Look, Akbar was sitting in his court.
8:48Birbal was present in that court. Akbar
8:50took Birbal and went into a separate
8:52room. He sat in the private room and
8:54performed penance. He asked, "I am
8:55meditating; see if I am doing it
8:57correctly." Birbal watched him doing it
8:59all wrong, and he kept watching.
9:01Thinking he would go mad if he kept
9:03doing penance like this, he said
9:04something. The guard ran out from
9:07inside. As soon as he ran out, Birbal
9:10said, "Arrest Akbar." The guard stood
9:13still. Akbar said, "Arrest Birbal, who
9:16told you to arrest me." The guard
9:18immediately arrested Birbal. The guard
9:21knew this voice. "Epporul yaar yaar
9:24vaai ketpinum"—you should listen to
9:26what others say in many situations.
9:29Sometimes, this becomes a place where I
9:31understand a second meaning: that you
9:33should only listen to those things when
9:35the right person says them. While you
9:39keep searching for thoughts—like what
9:41I said at the Chennai Book Fair under
9:43the title "The Wing Called a Book"—
9:44there is this tendency to argue or just
9:46provoke and observe things when sitting
9:48idle. These things are becoming very
9:52widespread today. How do we control
9:55these things that are becoming so
9:57widespread? When you are in a position
10:00of responsibility, if you want to stand
10:02tall in that role and grow to the next
10:03level, you must acquire some wisdom. My
10:07mother once told me a very subtle truth
10:09, and I am passing it on to you exactly
10:11as it is. Do you know why Krishna—my
10:14mother used to watch the Mahabharata—
10:16why did Krishna not gamble? Sultana
10:18asked me this. Why didn’t he gamble?
10:22Anybody? Because he knew it was wrong?
10:29Did he think it was a mistake? That’s
10:32not it. Krishna knew that if a god
10:35gambles, he won’t win; Shakuni would
10:37win, and Krishna knew that. I am
10:42telling all of you, don’t gamble; a
10:44god never wins in gambling, which is
10:46why a god doesn’t gamble. "Shakuni
10:50will win, no matter what, Shakuni will
10:52win"—this saying, this thought, stays
10:54with me. I get alert at times. I will
10:57tell you one more thing; humility—you
10:59only realize this when you read—that
11:01being humble is a royal virtue. Being
11:03arrogant is not a royal trait. That is
11:05just a quality of leadership; it is not
11:07the quality of a servant. You must read
11:12to understand the wisdom of knowing
11:13where to bow and where not to bow. For
11:18example, look at Corona; how small a
11:21virus it is. How very small a virus! It
11:24is tiny, isn't it? Just a microorganism
11:27! How afraid we were, where were we,
11:30and how were we then? Why? You must
11:36learn what to fear and what not to fear
11:38, and realize what you need to
11:39understand and remain humble there;
11:41when you read, you realize that
11:42everything is within us. I told my son
11:46to wake up at 5:30 in the morning, go
11:48for a walk, have a coffee, read the
11:49newspaper, and then come home. He is 23
11:52years old. Do you know what his reply
11:53was? He gave the typical reply of
11:55today's youth. "Everything is available
11:57right here, Mom." Will he get the
11:59experience of going out, walking around
12:01, having coffee, seeing people, and
12:02reading the paper there? Will that
12:04experience be there? You can listen to
12:06this speech on your device while
12:07sitting here. But will you get the
12:08experience of sitting here and
12:10listening like this? This is what I
12:12feel I must tell you. That is why I
12:14feel one must read; let me tell you
12:16something you will really like. People
12:18argue, right? My domestic help told me,
12:23"Ma'am, my daughter talks back too much
12:26; I thought of making her a speaker
12:27like you," but a loud-mouthed person
12:29cannot be a speaker. Are they fighters?
12:36They are not fighters. Those who think
12:38so are the ones who fail. Eight crore
12:40people, six crore people are talking.
12:43It's just millions of people talking,
12:45isn't it? If six crore people talk,
12:49only ten people rule the discourse. If
12:53you want to know the difference, to
12:54understand that this is not that, look
12:56at this line by Jayakanthan that stirs
12:58your deepest soul: "Children should not
13:00die." Jayakanthan writes that children
13:03should not die; that is very tragic.
13:06But even more tragic is those children
13:08dying in stories. Why? You only know
13:12that if you read, right! If a child
13:13dies within the pages of a book while
13:15you are reading, that is all there is
13:17to us. That is why we say, when we read
13:20, we surround ourselves with all those
13:22things. I have read books like "Men,
13:26Women, and Children" by Sundara
13:28Ramaswamy, and I have sat motionless
13:30for 48 hours without doing anything;
13:32that is how deeply it affected me.
13:35After reading "The Deep Sea World" by
13:38Jody Cruz, I just sat there, sitting
13:40for 12 to 18 hours. The collection
13:43titled "Why Do You Get Angry If I Speak
13:45?" by Thanthai Periyar has completely
13:47dismantled me. I would challenge you to
13:53read the 34 volumes of Ambedkar's
13:55speeches in Parliament, read the "Wings
13:57of Fire," try reading "My Experiments
13:59with Truth," read the entire Quran,
14:01read the full Bible, read all 1330
14:03couplets of the Kural, and try reading
14:05and understanding the 12,000 stanzas of
14:07Kamba Ramayanam with their meanings. If
14:14you read, you will realize things
14:16according to your capacity; the merit
14:17of the life you have received, you gain
14:19the fruits of seven lifetimes through
14:21the education you learn. So, please
14:24read and see how things become clear to
14:26us. Recently, someone said something
14:29and left; it was just words, but it
14:31created an image within me. There was a
14:33donkey; we all use "donkey" as an
14:35insult when we get angry, saying, "Ugh,
14:37donkey." Why do we insult others by
14:39calling them a donkey? I only learned
14:41this after reading that story, because
14:42many times we just don't know. "A house
14:45entered by a tortoise," what is that?
14:48Has a tortoise entered your house? Why
14:50do we say that? The tortoise is the
14:52only creature in this world that lives
14:53for 800 years. The tortoise is an
14:55animal that travels longer distances
14:57than a whale in the ocean. Does it swim
14:59very fast? It doesn't swim that way; it
15:01travels by moving along with the ocean
15:03currents. The tortoise is an animal
15:04with a great sense of direction. Should
15:06I tell you about the elephant? You can
15:08control all parts of an elephant, but
15:10you cannot control its eyes. Its eyes
15:12will never come under your control. You
15:16can never predict its sixth sense. The
15:19elephant is no ordinary beast. The book
15:21"The Earth That Has All This Knowledge"
15:23was written by Theodore Baskaran. If
15:24you can, read it. He talks about the
15:26Sarus crane and the fox. The fox, you
15:29know, lives only with its one mate. If
15:33the mate dies, it also dies without its
15:35partner; the fox does not join another
15:37mate. When we read things, many matters
15:41become clear to us. Look, there was a
15:44donkey, and that donkey ate a lot of
15:45grass until its stomach was full. It
15:47kept walking through the forest. It saw
15:49a tiger in the forest and got a little
15:51scared. But since its stomach was full
15:54of grass, it felt a sense of arrogance.
16:00"I have eaten my fill, I know what I
16:02eat, but I eat grass," it said, and
16:04fearing it had to do something, it
16:06blurted out, "The grass I ate is blue."
16:10"I don't eat grass, and I know it's
16:12green," said the tiger, and an argument
16:13broke out between them. "Let's do one
16:15thing, let's take this dispute to the
16:16lion for a panchayat (arbitration)."
16:17The lion called them. "What is the
16:19dispute, donkey?""Sir, he is arguing
16:21about the color of the grass I eat.""He
16:22doesn't even eat grass, sir.""The grass
16:24is blue, sir; I have been eating it
16:25since I was born.""I know you don't eat
16:27grass, sir, so please tell him what
16:29color it is," asked the donkey. The
16:30lion said, "Why are you talking so fast
16:33?""What are you saying now?""The grass
16:35I eat is blue, sir.""Tell this tiger to
16:38shut its mouth.""Hey, did you eat it?""
16:41I ate it.""Since when have you been
16:42eating it?""I have been eating it since
16:43I was born.""What color is it?""Blue.""
16:45In which forest do you eat it?""In this
16:48forest.""Fine, it's blue, go!" Sir, he
16:52argued with me, please give him some
16:54punishment, sir! Hey Tiger, you
16:56shouldn't speak for five months, get
16:58out! The donkey left happily. The tiger
17:03stood, turned back and asked, I accept
17:05the punishment you gave, you are the
17:07king, tell me the reason. Didn't I just
17:10speak the truth? How many days have we
17:11been punished for speaking the truth
17:13like that! We speak the truth at home,
17:16and one was born to speak unfairly.
17:19Father, even for speaking the truth a
17:21bit earlier, I have been beaten so much
17:23. What kind of talk is that without
17:26respect for elders? Then what is this "
17:28big girl" respect? You are playing with
17:30small children. I have an elder brother
17:31, an elder sister, a younger brother, a
17:33younger sister, and I am in the middle.
17:35If I talk to them, I get scolded; if I
17:37talk to these, I get scolded. The tiger
17:39was scolded with bad words. You have no
17:42sense, you shouldn't speak for five
17:43months, go! Why the punishment for me?
17:45Tell me, it is green color, right? Just
17:47because it says it is blue, you lied.
17:49Why are you arguing with me? Didn't I
17:52tell the truth? You talk like this,
17:54stay silent. Do you know why you got
17:57this punishment? It is a donkey, you
17:59are an intelligent animal. If you are
18:01excellent at calculations, everyone
18:03will call you a tiger. They are humans,
18:05if one is truly brave, then being a
18:07tiger in bravery is a very big thing.
18:10Then why did you punish me? You argued
18:12with a donkey, that is your punishment,
18:14go! Do not argue with donkeys. Shall I
18:19tell you why? Do you know the nature of
18:21a donkey? It will never change what it
18:24believes. No matter how much you say,
18:27it won't be corrected. If someone tries
18:29to correct it, it will put us in a bind
18:31and keep going its own way. That is why
18:33you shouldn't argue with it, you should
18:35only pass a judgment. By learning such
18:38a thing, don't you know who to argue
18:40with and who not to argue with?
18:45Education gives me the knowledge of
18:46where our intellect goes in many tasks
18:48and levels, where it gets trapped,
18:50where we should escape, and whom we
18:51should not get stuck with. I am
18:55speaking at the peak of education. In
18:58the north, we have cockfights, they
18:59have something like silk-bird fights. I
19:02read a story. In silk-bird fights, a
19:04silk-bird with a colored crest would be
19:06worth one lakh rupees; Nawabs used to
19:08raise them, 50 years ago such a fight
19:10would happen and they would bet lakhs
19:12of rupees on the bird. The people
19:14watching would be IAS officers, they
19:16were the spectators. My mentor Moosa
19:18Raza, who was a Padma Bhushan and Chief
19:21Secretary. He mentions it in the book
19:22he wrote. I had gone to a party. There
19:24I saw the silk-bird fights. They gave a
19:26one lakh rupee prize to the winning
19:28bird. Then they gave it a golden cage.
19:30They gave it a blanket. They adorned it
19:32with many garlands. It walked
19:33majestically and went inside the golden
19:35cage. Do you know the punishment for
19:37the defeated bird, respected audience?
19:40The person who owns the defeated bird
19:42is not allowed to participate in races
19:44anymore, and besides that, they would
19:46cut off its crest. They would cut the
19:48silk-bird's crest and let it fly away
19:50outside. He ends the story like that.
19:52He ends the article like that. Moosa
19:55Raza IAS says, "I feel sorry for the
19:58winning bird, and I am happy for the
20:00defeated bird." What do we lose and
20:03what do we gain? Only when knowledge
20:05comes does one realize it. "Knowledge
20:07is the shield that protects from ruin,"
20:08"What can be achieved without wisdom?",
20:11"Treating others 'suffering as one's
20:13own,""Education is the wealth that
20:15cannot be stolen"—how much Valluvan
20:17tells us! Education is our final weapon
20:19. My Tamil kin, if India today stands
20:22ahead of other states in self-respect,
20:24it is because it has sustained itself
20:26through the standard of education. That
20:30is why Bharathi said, "Tamil Nadu is a
20:32land excelling in education." Let us
20:35further cultivate that knowledge. Let's
20:37cultivate it. As I studied, I learned
20:39something; as I studied, I learned
20:40something, and I will share it before I
20:42go. My speech will end in 30 seconds. I
20:44am but a sparrow. In reality, I am just
20:47a sparrow. I do not have any great
20:49background. Just a sparrow. But as I
20:53studied, my wings unfurled. When they
20:57did, I looked at them and identified
20:59myself—I realized I am not a sparrow,
21:01but an eagle. I studied until I earned
21:05my PhD. I never failed anywhere.
21:08Whatever I studied, I studied it
21:10completely. Education is the only
21:14weapon; it is the only thing that gives
21:16us our identity, our respect, our
21:18influence, our fame, our position, and
21:20our journey. Study for that. That is
21:25why Ambedkar said, "Study, study." He
21:28truly said it. Study; he even imported
21:31books by the ship-load to read. He is
21:33one of the two people who read every
21:35single book in that London city library
21:37. Karl Marx is one, and Ambedkar, the
21:40father of our nation's constitution, is
21:42the other. Periyar says, "Study, study,
21:45" not just to follow others, but to use
21:47your intellect. Use your intellect and
21:50take up the weapon called education. As
21:53I said, when I spread my wings, the sky
21:55became mine. Today, I am spreading my
21:58wings and flying. My Tamil hearts, my
22:01Tamil kin of Villupuram, try spreading
22:03your wings! You will realize that you
22:06are not a pigeon, a parrot, or a
22:08sparrow; you are also an eagle. Come,
22:10let us fly together; the sky is waiting
22:12. We shall meet again. Goodbye.
