It is the complaint of a child to its mother. But first the poet states his own position: 'aadhaaram ilaen', I have no support. Penance, learning, good deeds: I have nothing to lean on that could earn your grace.\n\nThe third line holds a fine contrast. Murugan delights in the Vedas, the Agamas and wisdom, the whole world of sacred learning, and yet he is 'manodheedhan', beyond the mind. You can read about him in books, but the mind cannot grasp him.\n\nPut the two halves together and the logic of surrender appears. If the Lord is beyond the mind, no amount of mental effort can reach him; and if I have no support of my own, I am not tempted to rely on effort anyway. The one with nothing to hold is free to be held. That is why the saints say that the moment of complete helplessness is often the moment grace arrives.","story_title_ta":"\u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9c\u0bc7\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0baa\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0ba4 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bc2\u0b9f \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9c\u0bc7\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc2\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b95\u0b9c\u0bc7\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd; \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc2\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9. \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1; \u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bc8 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1.\n\n\u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b95\u0b9c\u0bc7\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf, \"\u0b86\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bc2\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bc7!\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b9a\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \"\u0b8e\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b86\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0b86\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1.","story_title_en":"Gajendra in the Crocodile's Grip","story_en":"From the Bhagavata Purana. Gajendra, king of the elephants, was bathing with his herd in a lake on Mount Trikuta. Suddenly a crocodile seized his leg. Gajendra fought with all his great strength, and the other elephants pulled to help him. The Purana says the struggle went on for years, and slowly his strength ran out.\n\nAt last Gajendra understood that neither his own might nor his kin could save him. He raised a lotus in his trunk and called with his whole heart: 'O First Cause of all!' At that very moment Lord Vishnu came racing on Garuda, struck down the crocodile with his discus and set the elephant free.\n\nThe moment Gajendra knew 'I have no support', the true support arrived.
