compact definition of wisdom. Wisdom is not learning a great deal. It is seeing the truth, the real nature, in everything that stands before us. The phrase 'eppporul eththanmaiththaayinum' is very wide. It takes in all things and all appearances. Whether a thing is beautiful or ugly, whether it seems good or seems bad, one must see the truth beneath it.\n\nThis outlook is of great use in daily life. We decide that someone is good because he speaks sweetly, and dismiss another as bad because he speaks harshly. In reality there may be scheming behind the sweet speech and care behind the harsh word. A wise person does not stop at the surface; he tests what lies within.\n\nOur tradition has the image of the swan, which, when milk and water are mixed together, is said to drink only the milk. This power of the swan is taken as a sign of discernment. In the same way, to tell truth from appearance in any situation is the wisdom Valluvar speaks of.\n\nToday news, advertisements and speeches surround us. Clarity about what to believe and what to leave is very much needed. Without deciding the moment we see a piece of information, pausing to ask, 'What is the truth of this?' is the path this verse shows. The pause is small, but it separates a mind that is pushed by every wind from a mind that stands steady. It also makes us kinder, for we judge people less by their surface and more by what is actually there.","story_title_ta":"\u0baf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0bae\u0b95\u0bbe\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b86\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0baf \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0baa\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0ba8\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bb2\u0bcd, '\u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4, \u0b89\u0b9f\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b9c\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b86\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc7 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b95\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0ba9\u0bcd; \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bae\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0baf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb2 \u0b95\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n'\u0baa\u0bc2\u0bae\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc1?'

During their forest exile the Pandavas were parched with thirst. Nakula went to fetch water. At a pool a voice forbade him: 'Answer my questions first, and then drink.' He ignored it, drank, and fell dead. Sahadeva, Arjuna and Bhima met the same fate one after another.\n\nAt last Yudhishthira arrived and saw his four brothers lying fallen. Though thirsty himself, he stood patiently and listened to the voice. It was a yaksha. Tradition says that it was in fact Dharma, Yudhishthira's divine father, in that form. The yaksha asked him many questions.\n\n'What is greater than the earth?' 'A mother.' 'What is higher than the sky?' 'A father.' 'What is swifter than the wind?' 'The mind.' Then the yaksha asked, 'What is the greatest wonder in the world?' Yudhishthira said, 'Every day beings die and go to the realm of Yama, yet the rest think they will live forever. What could be a greater wonder than this?'\n\nIn this answer Yudhishthira's way of seeing shows. He looked not at what is before the eyes but at the deep truth behind it. Human beings see death daily, yet refuse to realise that they themselves are impermanent. This is exactly the wisdom of seeing the truth behind the appearance.\n\nThe yaksha was pleased and offered to restore one brother to life. Yudhishthira chose Nakula, the son of Madri, saying, 'I, one son of Kunti, am alive; let one son of Madri be alive as well.' Impressed by his impartiality, the yaksha restored all four.\n\nYudhishthira's clarity is a wisdom that sees truth within himself and in his relations with others. The tale stands as a lovely illustration of Valluvar's verse: whatever a thing may appear to be, to see its true nature is wisdom.","reflection_ta":"\u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc1? \u0b85\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0bc7 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc2\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"What is something you have judged only by its surface this week, and what might you find if you looked beneath it?","image_prompt":"A forest pool scene from the Mahabharata's Yaksha Prashna: the calm Yudhishthira standing at the water's edge listening to a shimmering yaksha figure above the pond, his four brothers lying peacefully nearby, warm palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, ornate gold border, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/557","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":1,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1683,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/557\/revisions\/1683"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=557"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=557"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=557"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=557"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
