పచ్చకామెర్ల రోగికి లోకమంతా పచ్చగానే కనపడుతుంది

This proverb highlights three conditions that prevent a person from sleeping: a Yogi (spiritual person) stays awake for meditation or divine connection; a Rogi (sick person) cannot sleep due to physical pain or discomfort; and a Bhogi (pleasure-seeker) stays awake to indulge in sensory or material enjoyments. It is used to describe situations where different motivations or conditions lead to the same outcome of sleeplessness.

This expression is used to describe a situation where someone experiences a sudden, severe shock or a powerful physical blow that leaves them dazed, stunned, or momentarily unconscious. It implies that the impact was so intense that it made them see stars or transported them to another realm (Devendra Lokam/Heaven) due to the intensity of the pain or surprise.

This proverb highlights the difference between harshness and patience. It suggests that reacting with extreme anger (burning) causes permanent damage or scars in relationships, whereas treating a situation with controlled, gentle persistence (tempering/heating) makes things pliable and manageable.

This expression is used to describe a person who is biased or prejudiced. Just as a jaundice patient sees everything through a yellow tint regardless of the actual color, a person with a particular mindset or flaw projects their own views and biases onto everything and everyone else they see.

This proverb highlights unpredictability. In the past, castor oil prices fluctuated wildly and jaundice was a disease known for its deceptive recovery and sudden relapses.

This proverb highlights that three types of people find it hard to sleep, albeit for different reasons: the 'Yogi' (ascetic) is awake in meditation or spiritual pursuit, the 'Bhogi' (pleasure-seeker) is awake indulging in luxuries or out of fear of losing them, and the 'Rogi' (sick person) is awake due to physical pain or discomfort.

This proverb is used to describe a biased or prejudiced perspective. Just as a jaundice patient perceives everything as yellow due to their own condition, a person with a particular mindset or flaw project their own views, suspicions, or faults onto others, failing to see the objective truth.

When people have some problem with their health or in their conduct, they find the same problems in everybody around.

This proverb is used to say that a lesser version or an incomplete product cannot compete with the refined, final, or superior version. It emphasizes that once someone experiences the best (ghee), they will no longer value the basic or raw form (butter).

This expression describes a cognitive bias where a person with a flawed perspective or specific obsession assumes that everyone else shares the same madness or is wrong. It is used to point out that one's perception of the world is often a reflection of their own state of mind.
