and in the Bhagavad Gita. At the first hint of danger it draws head, legs and tail into its shell in an instant, and when the danger is gone it puts them out again. The five senses of touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing are by nature restless, running outward after objects. The ability to withdraw them where they are not needed is what the verse praises.\n\nThe old commentators read the word orumaiyul in two ways. Some take it as 'in a single birth', others as 'in a state of oneness', that is, a one-pointed mind. Parimelazhagar and others understand ezhumai as seven births. On that reading, the restraint practised in this life becomes a secure capital that carries over into the lives that follow, an idea tied to the belief in karma that Valluvar's readers shared.\n\nIn daily life the sense is simple. A person who can pull back the eye from needless scenes, the ear from needless noise, and the tongue from its greed when it matters keeps his energy from draining away. The peace of mind, health and time he saves become a shelter for the future. Like the tortoise with its slow, measured pace, he can survive in a hurrying world precisely because he knows when to retreat inward. Valluvar is not asking us to shut out life, only to be able to choose when the senses go out and when they come home.","story_title_ta":"\u0b95\u0bc0\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd

Gita","story_en":"This scene comes from the Bhagavad Gita in the Bhishma Parva of the Mahabharata. On the field of Kurukshetra the two armies stood facing each other. Arjuna, standing in his chariot, saw his kinsmen and teachers across the field. His hands trembled, his bow slipped, and his body broke into a sweat. His mind sank into grief, and he laid his whole confusion before Krishna, his charioteer.\n\nKrishna listened patiently, then began to explain what true wisdom is. One whose mind stays even in joy and sorrow, who is free of craving, fear and anger, has a steady understanding, he said. Arjuna asked, \"How does such a person walk, speak and sit?\"\n\nKrishna answered with the image of the tortoise. \"As the tortoise draws in its limbs from every side, so when a person withdraws his senses from the objects of the senses, his wisdom stands firm\" (Gita, chapter two). Arjuna thought about it. In the noise of the battlefield his eyes were wandering everywhere, his ears caught every voice, and his mind scattered itself over every thought.\n\nKrishna went on: \"Dwelling on sense-objects breeds attachment; attachment breeds desire; desire breeds anger; anger breeds confusion; confusion breeds loss of memory; and through loss of memory understanding is destroyed.\" Arjuna saw the chain. If the wandering of the senses is checked at the start, this fall does not follow.\n\nHis mind cleared. He gathered his scattered attention and stood up saying, \"I will act as you say.\" The conversation showed that one who knows how to draw inward can also step forward firmly when the time comes. The Gita still teaches us the same lesson today.","reflection_ta":"\u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0b86\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb2 \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"At what moment today do I feel I should have drawn my senses inward like a tortoise?","image_prompt":"Arjuna and Krishna in a chariot between two armies on the field of Kurukshetra, Krishna calmly gesturing, a stylised tortoise drawing in its limbs shown in a small ornamental panel at the border, Bhagavad Gita scene, warm palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, ornate gold border, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/328","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":1,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/328\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1585,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/328\/revisions\/1585"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/82"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=328"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=328"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=328"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=328"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
