Mahaperiyavaa speaks on
PLAIN LIVING AND HIGH THINKING
The Brahmin community has forgotten its tradition of plain living and high thinking and taken to expensive ways of living. Time was in our land, when Brahmins lived the same simple lives as other communities. This ancient identify of life of different communities is exemplified in some of the expressions we still use. The cooking pot in our... house is called Vengala Paanai, and the diamond ear-rings, which rich women wear, are called varia olai. The words, paanai and olai underline this affinity among all communities. We should avoid the costly new fangled habits, wear only simple apparel, and live frugal lives.
