Shiwa as polar, south-facing Dakshinamurti and Dewi as Saraswati, hold these.
Manuscripts symbolize knowing.
Presently, it looks like being skilled and being in the know, are mutually exclusive.
In past, all skills were means, to dissolve ego and lead one to the Supreme.
Therefore the saying, 'Widyaa winaya sampanney' - skill development embedded in humility.
Thiru-Walluwar asks, 'Of what value is any skill, if it disables one to bow down, to the Divine?'
Catradanaal aaya payan en koll, Waalarivan nar-taal tozhaa-ar enin?
- Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, Kanchi.
