Agriculture should not be undertaken in isolation, by brute force alone, nor by a washerman or a trader. (Farming demands cooperative labor and seasoned agricultural expertise, not isolated muscle or untrained hands.)

“ ഇരുന്നിരുന്നെകാദശിയും നോറ്റു, അറ്റമില്ലാത്ത ചാളയും പെട്ടു”
English Translation:
Endured the solemn Ekadashi fast with holy patience, only to catch an endless haul of cheap sardines. (Enduring great trials and devout self-denial, only to receive a reward completely ill-suited or trivial.)

“ തന്നാൽ തന്നതും തിന്നതും കാണിക്കണം”
English Translation:
If resources are entrusted, one must show clearly both what was received and what was spent. (Strict accountability and transparency; always maintain an honest record of incoming funds and expenditures.)
