The second balances it: helping is good, but it is wise to know whom we are helping.\n\nHelp given to the good is like letters carved in stone; neither rain nor sun can wear them away, and gratitude lives in that person's heart for life. Help given to those whose hearts have no moisture, no warmth of kindness, is like writing on water: it vanishes even as you write. The word eeram, moisture, is lovely here. We think of stone as dry and water as wet, yet what matters is the moisture of the heart.\n\nAvvaiyar is not telling us to stop helping. Once we see that the fruit of help depends on the character of the one who receives it, disappointment no longer breaks us, and we grow the discernment to help wisely. The Gita too says a gift should be given with regard to place, time and a worthy recipient (17.20).","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0baa\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b85\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b8e\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b86\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb7\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b95\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \"\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcb \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b89\u0b9f\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0baa\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95, \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc7\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0b93\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbf \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b85\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf \u0bb5\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0bae\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0baf\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b85\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b86\u0b9f \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \"\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b86\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb2\u0bb5\u0bc7 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b86\u0b9f\u0bc1\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbf. \u0b86\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc7 \u0bae\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0b86\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf \u0baa\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd;

The demon Bhasmasura performed fierce penance to Lord Shiva. Shiva, called Ashutosh because he is so easily pleased, appeared and offered him a boon. The demon asked, 'Let whoever I touch on the head turn to ashes.' In his kindness, Shiva granted it.\n\nThe moment he had the boon, Bhasmasura's gratitude vanished like writing on water. To test it, he rushed to place his hand on the head of Shiva himself, the very giver of the boon. Shiva withdrew from him.\n\nThen Vishnu appeared before the demon as Mohini, an enchanting woman. Captivated, Bhasmasura wanted to dance with her. 'Dance exactly as I dance,' said Mohini. In the middle of the dance she placed her hand on her own head. Copying her every move, Bhasmasura placed his hand on his own head and was reduced to ashes.\n\nA kindness given to a heart without moisture is not merely forgotten; sometimes it turns against the giver. But in the end, dharma protects itself.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbe? \u0b8f\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0b8e\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"Do you think about who you are helping before you help?
