Shuka, son of Vyasa, was wise from birth.

At the palace gate the guards stopped him, and though he stood in the sun, he was neither angry nor troubled. Later a minister led him to a mansion full of lovely gardens and sweet music and lodged him there. Beautiful attendants served him food and tried to charm him with song and dance.\n\nShuka's mind did not stir at all. In the heat at the gate and amid the palace's delights he stayed the same, and he spent the whole night seated in meditation.\n\nNext morning Janaka came, bowed and welcomed him. \"You have conquered the senses and stay the same in pleasure and pain,\" he said. \"You already know what is to be known.\" Then he cleared Shuka's doubts about liberation.\n\nRestraining the cravings of the five senses is sweet above all, and that restraint is the doorway to wisdom.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc1? \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Which pleasure of the senses pulls most at your time and attention?
