If the cloud draws up the sea's water and does not return it as rain, he says, even the sea will lose its nature. 'Neermai' can mean the nature of water, and also the sea's natural richness. The sense is that the sea's character will wither.\n\nFor 'thatindhu', Parimelazhagar gives the sense of 'drawing up', while some read it as 'cutting'. In either reading the meaning is unchanged: the cloud takes from the sea. 'Ezhili' means cloud. The heart of the line is: if the cloud does not give what it has taken.\n\nThere is a lesson inside. One who only takes will not last in that state. The sea gives its water to the cloud, and the cloud returns it as rain. Only when the cycle is complete does everyone live. Any act that takes without returning will, in the end, diminish its own source.\n\nValluvar's picture also reminds us that the sea does not give grudgingly or in vain. Its water goes up, becomes cloud, and comes back as rivers and rain that fill the sea again. The cloud is a messenger between the sea and the land, and when it keeps faith with both, everyone is fed.\n\nWe can link this to the way we use resources today. Pumping groundwater, felling forests and digging sand from rivers are acts of taking. Planting trees, desilting lakes and harvesting rainwater are acts of giving back. The verse reminds us to keep the balance.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4

The devas and the asuras decided to churn the ocean of milk to obtain amrita, the nectar that gives deathlessness. They used Mount Mandara as the churning rod and the serpent Vasuki as the rope. When the mountain began to sink into the sea, Vishnu took the form of a tortoise and bore it on his back.\n\nAs they churned, the deadly poison Halahala rose first. When the world trembled, Lord Shiva, it is said, drank it and held it in his throat to save creation. After that many treasures appeared: Kamadhenu, Airavata, the Kalpaka tree and Lakshmi. Last of all Dhanvantari came out carrying the pot of nectar.\n\nThe tale shows the richness of the sea. The ocean gave everything it held. But Valluvar asks us to think what would happen if those who take, believing the ocean an endless store, go on taking. The sea's wealth is made lasting only by the gift of the cloud; the rivers and the rain give water back to the sea.\n\nThe Purana turns this into an allegory: those who churned the sea got nectar, but when they failed to share it, a quarrel broke out. Tradition says Vishnu came as Mohini and shared the nectar fairly. The lesson is that any wealth lives only when taking and giving are in balance.","reflection_ta":"\u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0ba3\u0bcd, \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0baa\u0bca\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0bb5\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9? \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9?","reflection_en":"What do you draw from a common resource, such as water, soil or a forest, and what do you give back to it?","image_prompt":"The gods and demons churning the ocean of milk with Mount Mandara and the serpent Vasuki as rope, Vishnu as a giant tortoise beneath, waves and rising treasures, clouds above the sea.
