Panchatantra compares the winnow and
sieve with the qualities of a person.
A sieve lets go and allows all the
good things to pass through its pores while retaining the waste things in it.
On the contrary, a winnow discards the husk, stones and dust to let go and
retains only the good and useful things.
The winnow retains what is useful
while the sieve retains what is useless.
One should “be like a winnow retaining the
positive things of life and not like a sieve which retains all the negative
aspects of life!”
5 Famous Panchatantra Quotes and teachings:-
1. Intelligence can accomplish things
more easily than army and weapons (that is - physical power).
2. Excellent, average, and low qualities
appear in anyone or anything due to association with person or things of the
corresponding type.
3. Truly good men are like rubber balls;
even if they fall they bounce back. A fool falls like mud and gets stuck to the
ground.
4. One should seek for the salutary in
the unpleasant: if it is there, it is after all nectar. One should seek for the
deceitful in the pleasant: if it is there it is after all poison.
5. A great man does not lose his self-possession
when he is afflicted; the ocean is not made muddy by the falling in of its
banks.
