The one who would tell it was not there. So the poet turns to Murugan. You delight in yoga, the union that nothing disturbs, and you delight in 'sallaapam', sweet and intimate talk. You have both the silence and the speech, so you tell it.\n\nThe verse is at once a question, a cry of wonder and an act of thanks. Only the one who gave the experience can explain it. The rest of the book keeps circling this point: the poet sings of something that the singing can never quite reach.","story_title_ta":"\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0baa\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba8\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \"\u0b8e\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \"\u0ba8\u0bc0 \u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b87\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf, \"\u0b87\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd; \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8; \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0baf\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b9a\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd: \"\u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd; \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b8e\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bcb, \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bcb, \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bcb, \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc7 \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1.\" \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba8\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1: \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b9a\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc7 \"\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bc7.","story_title_en":"Sanatkumara Teaches Narada the Infinite","story_en":"From the Chandogya Upanishad. The sage Narada came to Sanatkumara and said, 'Teach me.' 'First tell me what you already know,' said Sanatkumara. Narada recited a long list: the four Vedas, the epics and histories, grammar, mathematics, the science of the stars and much more. Then he said, 'With all this I know only words. I do not know the Self, and I am full of sorrow.'\n\nStep by step Sanatkumara led him higher, from name to speech, from mind to will, until he said: 'The infinite alone is joy. There is no joy in what is small. Where one sees nothing else, hears nothing else and knows nothing else, that is the infinite.'\n\nAt the very end the Upanishad adds a remarkable line: this Sanatkumara is the one people call Skanda. So the first teacher of the bliss in which everything else falls away was Kanda himself, the same Lord whom Arunagirinathar asks to tell of it in this verse.","reflection_ta":"\"\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0ba4\u0bcb \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc2\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bbe? \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1?","reflection_en":"Can you remember a moment when you were so absorbed that the thought of 'I' disappeared?
