The poet calls Murugan a 'thief': the one who stole Valli, born of a deer, out of the millet field. That loving thief is also the supreme reality, never born and never dying.\n\nWhat he said was just this: 'Summa iru', 'be still', and 'sol ara', 'let words cease'. It is a state where speech and effort come to rest. At that very moment, says the poet with a cry of wonder, 'Ammaa!', I knew nothing at all.\n\nThis 'knowing nothing' is not ignorance. It is the falling away of the gap between the knower and the known, the same state glimpsed in verse 2, 'the bliss of losing myself'. 'Summa iru' sounds easy, but many later sages of Tamil Nadu, such as Thayumanavar, sang that just being still is the hardest practice of all, and they took this verse as their guide.","story_title_ta":"\u0b86\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bcc\u0ba9 \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba3\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd. \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b9a\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd, \u0b9a\u0ba9\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd, \u0b9a\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd, \u0b9a\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe \u0ba8\u0bc2\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb3\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b86\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba3\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b85\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0bcc\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b90\u0baf\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9. \"\u0b86\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b9a\u0bc0\u0b9f\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0b87\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baf \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1; \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bcc\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd; \u0b9a\u0bc0\u0b9f\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b90\u0baf\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0baf \u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \"\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc7 \u0bae\u0bcc\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bca\u0bb4\u0bbf.","story_title_en":"The Silent Teaching Under the Banyan","story_en":"From the Shiva Purana and the tradition of Dakshinamurthy.

He did not speak a single word. He simply sat in silence, his thumb and forefinger joined in the chin mudra, the sign of knowledge. In that silence all their doubts dissolved by themselves.\n\nAn old Sanskrit verse marvels at the scene: 'Under the banyan tree, the disciples are old and the guru is young; the guru's silence is the teaching, and the disciples' doubts are cut away.' Murugan's teaching to Arunagirinathar, 'Be still; let words cease', speaks the language of that same silence.","reflection_ta":"\u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b90\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \"\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe\" \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe? \u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1?","reflection_en":"Could you sit for five minutes today doing nothing and saying nothing, simply being still?
