உலகின் இயல்பு இருவகைப்பட்டது; செல்வரை ஆக்கும் விதியும், அறிஞரை ஆக்கும் விதியும் வேறு வேறாம்.

உலகின் இயற்கை நிலை இரு வேறுபட்டதாகும் ஒருவர் செல்வமுடையவராகவும், ஒருவர் அறிவுடையவராகவும் இருப்பதே அந்த வேறுபாடாகும்

உலகத்தின் இயற்க்கை ஊழின் காரணமாக இரு வேறு வகைப்படும், செல்வம் உடையவராதலும் வேறு அறிவு உடையவராதலும் வேறு.

There are (through fate) two different natures in the world, hence the difference (observable in men) in (their acquisition of) wealth, and in their attainment of knowledge

This verse from Thirukkural emphasises on the diverse natures of the world, particularly in terms of wealth and knowledge acquisition. It suggests that the natural order of the world is such that some individuals are destined to be wealthy, while others are destined to be knowledgeable. The verse acknowledges the existence of fate and how it influences the distribution of wealth and knowledge among individuals. Some people are naturally inclined towards material wealth and spend their lives accumulating it. On the other hand, some people are drawn towards intellectual wealth and spend their lives in pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. However, it does not mean one is superior to the other. Both wealth and knowledge have their respective places and roles in life. Wealth is necessary for physical sustenance and comfort, while knowledge enhances understanding and wisdom. The difference is based on the natural order of the world, and not on personal merit or virtue. Thirukkural here teaches us to respect this diversity and understand that each person has a unique path. It encourages acceptance, as these differences are a result of the world's natural order and not a matter of individual choice. It promotes the idea of coexistence and harmony among individuals with differing fortunes and capabilities.
