The father bowed to the son, saying 'Naathaa, Kumaraa, nama', and asked to be taught. What did Murugan tell him? The poet asks and gives no answer. The silence is itself the answer: that teaching cannot be put into words.\n\nThe second half shows a wonderful circle of humility. Brahma and the gods wear Murugan's feet on their heads in worship. Murugan, in turn, wears on his head the feet of Valli. And Shiva, the Lord of all, bows to his own son as guru.\n\nIn God's world, humility flows downward and upward at once. The greatest bow to the least, and the least are lifted to the highest place. Perhaps that circle of reverence is part of the meaning the poet asks about.","story_title_ta":"\u0b93\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1","story_ta":"\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba8\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b86\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd: \"\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b93\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b89\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd?\"\n\n\u0baa\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd: \"\u0b93\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7 \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc0\u0bb4\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b89\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd; \u0b87\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b92\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0 \u0b89\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb2\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bbf, \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\" \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b93\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bc7 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1.","story_title_en":"What One Reaches by Meditating on Om","story_en":"From the Prashna Upanishad. Six students came to the sage Pippalada with questions. One of them, Satyakama, asked: 'If a person meditates on Om all his life, what world does he win?'\n\nPippalada answered: 'Om is both the higher and the lower Brahman. One who meditates on its first sound alone returns quickly to this world. One who meditates on two sounds reaches the world of the moon. But one who meditates on all three together as one sacred syllable sheds his sins as a snake sheds its skin, and beholds the Supreme, higher than all.'\n\nTradition says that what Murugan taught Shiva at Swamimalai was the meaning of this same Om. The Upanishad gives a glimpse of it; the poet, wiser, only asks the question and lets it hang in reverent silence.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f \u0b87\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcb \u0b8e\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcb \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc1?","reflection_en":"What is something you have learned from someone younger or humbler than yourself?","image_prompt":"Lord Shiva bowing with folded hands before the child Murugan seated on a high seat, the syllable-like glow of Om radiating between them, Brahma and the gods holding Murugan's feet above their heads, and Murugan touching Valli's feet to his crown in a smaller side scene, Tanjore-painting inspired style with palm-leaf manuscript texture, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/3781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/verse"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/3781\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3781"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3781"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3781"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3781"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
