Even when the gross body dies, it travels with the soul from birth to birth. That is why it matters to know it 'clearly'. Many explain 'the eight states' as the eight limbs of yoga, from yama to samadhi.\n\nThe 'gate at the crown' is the brahmarandhra at the top of the head. The yoga texts say that a yogi's life leaving through this gate is a sign of liberation. Avvaiyar says He showed it 'in my understanding': it is not only an opening in the body but the highest point of awareness.\n\nThe peak of this section is 'You made me know my own self'. The end of every yogic practice is self-knowledge. Once the self is known, 'the root of former karma' is pulled out. Cut the branches and the tree sprouts again; pull out the root and it never grows back.","story_title_ta":"\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1

Once a terrible drought struck the southern land. Rivers dried up and fields withered. The sage Agastya held the whole river Kaveri inside his water-pot. He sat on the Kodagu hills, deep in meditation.\n\nSeeing the people's suffering, Indra and the gods prayed to Ganesha. Ganesha took the form of a crow, flew there and perched on the rim of Agastya's water-pot. Agastya opened his eyes and tried to shoo the crow away. At that very moment the crow tipped over the pot and flew off. The Kaveri, held captive inside, burst out and began to flow.\n\nAngry, Agastya chased the crow. The crow turned into a small boy and ran. Agastya caught him and raised his hand to rap him on the head, and then the boy revealed His true form as Ganesha. Agastya rapped his own head for his mistake and bowed down to Him. Tradition says that is why, even today, we tap our temples before Ganesha.\n\nJust as He freed the river that was held captive, it is Ganesha who frees the soul held captive within, from the bonds of karma.","reflection_ta":"\"\u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b94\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bae\u0bc0\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b93\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9?","reflection_en":"Avvaiyar says 'You made me know my own self'.
