Spark and Butter
Akka Mahadevi
ಅರಿಯದವರೊಡನೆ ಸಂಗವ ಮಾಡಿದಡೆ ಕಲ್ಲ ಹೊಯ್ದು ಕಿಡಿಯ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಬಂತೆ. ಬಲ್ಲವರೊಡನೆ ಸಂಗವ ಮಾಡಿದಡೆ ಮೊಸರ ಹೊಸೆದು ಬೆಣ್ಣೆಯ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಬಂತೆ.
Meaning · English
Keeping company with those who do not know is like striking a stone for a spark. Keeping company with those who know is like churning curd for butter.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
अनजान लोगों की संगत पत्थर पीटकर चिंगारी निकालने जैसी है। जानकारों की संगत दही मथकर मक्खन निकालने जैसी है।
