That ignorance should cease is easy to understand. But why knowledge too? Because the thought 'I know' is the last trace of duality, a knower standing apart from what is known.\n\nWhen even that falls away, what remains is the state of verse 12: 'I knew nothing at all.' It is not darkness; it is a fullness in which there is no one left to stand outside and know it.","story_title_ta":"\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb5\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9c\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b85\u0bb7\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0b95\u0bcd\u0bb0 \u0b95\u0bc0\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0bae\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9c\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb5\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb7\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0b95\u0bcd\u0bb0 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd: \"\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b9e\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe?\"\n\n\u0b8e\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b89\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0bb3\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb2 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc7\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0b9c\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0bb7\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0b95\u0bcd\u0bb0 \u0b95\u0bc0\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9c\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd: \"\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb3\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0b87\u0baf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc1. \u0b87\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0baf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd!\" \u0bae\u0bc1\u0baf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bcd \"\u0ba8\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1.","story_title_en":"Janaka With His Foot in the Stirrup","story_en":"From the tradition of the Ashtavakra Gita. One day King Janaka of Mithila, with one foot already in his horse's stirrup, asked the sage Ashtavakra: 'Can you show me the truth before I swing up into the saddle?'\n\nTradition says that with a few words from that young sage, whose body was bent in eight places, Janaka realised the Self in that very moment. In the Ashtavakra Gita he exclaims in wonder: 'I am spotless, at peace, pure awareness beyond nature. All this time I have been deceived by illusion!'\n\nIt was not climbed to step by step through effort; it happened in an instant because a guru pointed.
