Kural 421<\/p>\n
Wisdom is a weapon that can ward off destruction.
\nIt is an inner fortress that no enemy can assail.
\nKural 422<\/p>\n
Wisdom will harness the mind, diverting it
\nfrom wrong and directing it toward right.
\nKural 423<\/p>\n
Whatever is heard from whomever’s lips,
\nwisdom will rightly discern its true meaning.
\nKural 424<\/p>\n
Wisdom speaks well, conveying each meaning clearly,
\nand listens for the subtlest sense in others’ speech.
\nKural 425<\/p>\n
The wise befriend the wise and keep that friendship constant,
\nnot opening and closing it like the petaled lotus.
\nKural 426<\/p>\n
It is wisdom to live in the world
\nin the way that the world lives.
\nKural 427<\/p>\n
Those who know, know what will happen next.
\nSuch things are unknown to the unknowing.
\nKural 428<\/p>\n
It is folly not to fear what ought to be feared.
\nSo the wise dread what should be dreaded.
\nKural 429<\/p>\n
Fearsome sufferings shall never happen
\nto knowing ones who guard against future happenings.
\nKural 430<\/p>\n
Those who possess wisdom possess everything.
\nWhatever others possess, without wisdom they have nothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
