Verse 602: Experience changes value
602. Experience changes value
மூழ்கா தவர்க்கு முழுநீர் வெறுங்குளம்மூழ்கி யெழுந்தார்க்கு மூச்சு
moozhkaa thavarkku muzhuneer verungulammoozhki yezhundaarkku mooschu
To those who never go under, a full pond holds nothing; to those who have gone under and come up, that same water is their breath.
In Tamil, breath also means life. What we plunge into means more to us than it ever did from outside.
