Knowledge does not come but springs

Like thousands of people in this universe, I always find Thirukkural(The 1330 couplets by Thiruvalluvar written in Sanga Tamil) relevant even in the present scenario, the so-called SCIENTIFIC, MODERN world.

I find the above couplet highly interesting and different from popular view on education

In this couplet, thiruvalluvar says , Knowledge is something which springs from inside (like a well in which water springs in the quantity proportionate to our toil) and not something which comes from outside (from sources of information) as the popular opinion goes.

I feel Knowledge is always hidden inside u. The information is a tool to bring it out.
