Great monkeys uprooted trees, boulders and hills and hurled them into the sea. On the shore, where the waves beat, a small squirrel watched.\n\nIt could not lift a hill. But it could not bear to sit idle either. It dived into the sea and got wet, rolled in the sand on the shore, ran to the bridge with the sand clinging to its body and shook it off there. Then back to the sea, back to the sand, again and again without rest. As much as it could, for Rama.\n\nThondaradippodi Alvar sings this scene in the Thirumalai: 'When the monkeys pushed the hills, I am not even like the guileless squirrel that bathed, rolled and ran to help dam the waves.' The squirrel had no guile, no pride and no expectation. 'I am not even like that squirrel,' the Alvar says, melting. This pasuram is one of the oldest Tamil sources for the squirrel's story.\n\nFolk tradition adds that Rama picked up the squirrel and stroked it with love, and that squirrels still carry on their backs the three stripes left by his fingers. The heart of the story is that what matters to the Lord is not the size of the service but the heart behind it. In this section the Alvar lists his own failings one by one and surrenders to Arangan: 'with so many faults, you alone are my refuge.'","reflection_ta":"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0baf \u0baa\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bcb\u0bae\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"How do we talk to the old habits of our own mind?","image_prompt":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/10006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/verse"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/10006\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10883,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/10006\/revisions\/10883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=10006"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=10006"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=10006"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=10006"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=10006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
