Tirukkural-On Virtue-On Right Conduct-Kural 140
Kallar arivilaa thaar.
Even
men
of
learning
will
be
as
ignorant
men,
If
they
do
not
live
in
tune
with
the
world.
The following passage from Lord Chesterfield could be considered a felicitous alternative translation of this Kural.
'A man of the best parts and the greatest learning, if he does not know the world by his own experience and obligation, will be very absurd and consequently very unwelcome in company'.
The idea of living in tune with the world has been happily expressed in 'Natrinai' thus:
Payanum panbum paadarindholukalum
(Natrinai)
Similar

Kural 426 too is relevant here, for it conveys the same message of living in tune with one's surroundings.
