Kural 1031<\/p>\n
Wherever it may wander, the world follows the farmer’s plow.
\nThus despite all its hardships, farming is the foremost occupation.
\nKural 1032<\/p>\n
Farmers are the linchpin of the world, for they support all
\nwho take up other work, not having the strength to plow.
\nKural 1033<\/p>\n
Those who live by the plow live in self-sufficiency.
\nAll others lean on them to simply subsist.
\nKural 1034<\/p>\n
Those whose fields lie shaded by abundant sheaves of grain
\nwill see many nations overshadowed by their own.
\nKural 1035<\/p>\n
Those who eat food harvested with their own hands
\nwill never beg and never refuse a beggar’s outstretched palm.
\nKural 1036<\/p>\n
When plowers of the fields stand idly with folded arms,
\neven desireless ascetics will not last long.
\nKural 1037<\/p>\n
If soil is dried so that one ounce shrinks to one-quarter ounce,
\nfruitful yields will not require a single handful of fertilizer.
\nKural 1038<\/p>\n
It is better to fertilize than to furrow a field. After weeding,
\nit is more important to watch over a field than even to water it.
\nKural 1039<\/p>\n
If the lord of the land fails to visit his fields,
\nthey will sulk as surely as a neglected wife.
\nKural 1040<\/p>\n
Mother Earth laughs when she sees
\nlazy men crying, ”We are so poor.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
