Enta Chaduvu Chadivi Enni Nerchina Gani
Heenudavagunambu Manaledu
Boggu Pala kadugapovuna Malinambu
Viswadha Abhirama Vinura Vema.
Telugu Version :
ఎంత చదువు చదివి ఎంత నేర్చిన గాని ,
హీనుడవగుణము మానలేడు .
బొగ్గు పాల కడుగ పోవునా మలినంబు
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమ.
Meaning : A person who is cruel and cunning can't get rid of his dreadful qualities despite being educated. He can never change his crookedness. Changing and cleansing his mind and malice is like cleaning the coal with milk continuously to make it lose its original color.
Story : Ravana the demon king was a highly knowledgeable king with abundant courage and devotion toward Lord Shiva. He was well known for his administrative skills and communicative skills who attracted people but he was defeated as he could not get rid of his weakness for women. Though his brother Vibhishana and his wife tried correcting him several times he could not be cleansed of his crooked nature.
One more example of this can be cited from Mahabharata. Duryodhana was educated along with the Pandavas.He grew to be a great warrior and brave person. Despite all these skills, he became very notorious for his cruel and crooked nature. His education had not dispelled the darkness of jealousy from his mind so he kept on troubling his cousin Pandavas and his acts of injustice towards Pandavas reveal his innate cruelty.
