సంసారం గుట్టు, రోగం రొచ్చు
Samsaram guttoo: One's family matters or domestic life should be kept private or a "secret" (guttoo).
Rogam rocchu: A disease or ailment (rogam) should be made public or "brought to light" (rocchu).
The Meaning
The wisdom here is about knowing what to hide and what to share:
Privacy in the Home: Personal family conflicts, financial struggles, or private disagreements should stay within the family. Airing them publicly usually leads to unnecessary gossip or loss of dignity without solving the root problem.
Transparency in Health: Conversely, if you are sick, you shouldn't hide it. Keeping a disease secret prevents you from getting the help, treatment, or sympathy you need. By making it "loud" (letting people know), you find a cure.
The Bottom Line: Keep your private life private, but don't suffer in silence when it comes to your well-being.
