It says the world needs seekers to be alive. Without seekers the world would be like a wooden puppet moved by strings, that is, movement without life. It would be a world where love, compassion and dharma have no chance to act. The meaning is that the giver's dharma comes alive only by the seekers' coming. A giving heart without those to receive is like a seed that cannot be used. Only on a seeker's arrival does the donor's heart begin to act. It is this relation of the two that gives life to the world.\n\nThe phrase 'eerkan maanyaalam' is important. 'Eerkan' means a moist or compassionate place. One may take it that this moist, gracious world creates seekers because someone is needed to put compassion into action. The seeker is not a burden but the doorway of grace. So society should not scorn seekers but see that their very presence completes its dharma. To see the poor coming to the door not as a nuisance but as an opportunity is culture. In a house that sees thus, dharma lives.\n\nThe simile of the 'marapavai', wooden puppet, recalls the puppet play of the Tamil tradition. A puppet has movement but no feeling. Likewise in a world without acts of dharma people would move about but humanity would be absent. The meeting place of seeker and giver is where humanity comes alive.","story_title_ta":"\u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0baf \u0b95\u0bcb\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbf \u0b90\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b92\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bae\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bb4\u0bc8 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8a\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1, \u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbf \u0b90\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1.\n\n\u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd, '\u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb2 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b9a\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1;

Its keeper, Ramaswami Iyer, kept up each year the annadhanam begun by his ancestors. Every day food was cooked for a hundred people.\n\nOne year a great rain fell and surrounded the town. Floods blocked the roads and nobody came to the almshouse. That day Ramaswami Iyer cooked as usual, laid out the leaves and waited. Dusk fell and still no one came. His face dimmed.\n\nHe told his wife, 'That no hungry person has come today gives me no peace. Though the hearth, rice and vessels are all here, I feel as if there is no life in them.' The rice grew cold; the leaves stirred in the wind.\n\nThen a voice was heard at the almshouse door. Ten or fifteen people, caught in the flood and soaked, had come seeking shelter. Ramaswami Iyer's face bloomed. He cooked again and served them hot food.\n\nThat night he told his wife, 'Cooking has meaning only if there is someone to eat. Their coming was a grace not only for them but for us.' In that moment he realised through his own experience the verse's thought that without seekers the givers have no life.\n\nThe story tells us that our charity comes alive by the arrival of those who receive it; to respect them is to respect ourselves.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bcb \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bcb \u0b95\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Do you see someone who comes asking for your help as a burden or an opportunity?","image_prompt":"An old almshouse veranda in Kanchipuram with banana leaves laid in rows, rain-drenched travellers arriving at the gate, an elderly keeper smiling with a ladle, a temple tower beyond, ornate gold border.
