'Aakkam' here is not merely material wealth; it means growth and fulfilment. If the mind is good, whatever a person gains will be put to good use. If one has great riches but a crooked mind, those riches only become a cause of sorrow.\n\nThe second half says that goodness of company brings every kind of fame. Fame does not come only from one's solitary effort. Deeds done together with good people, the testimony of good people, and the opportunities that open in their shade all together give a person honour. The phrase 'ellaap pugazhum', 'all fame', suggests fame of every kind and in every place.\n\nThe two are linked. A man of good mind seeks good company, and good company increases his goodness. Today a person who works honestly in a team gives the whole team a good name, and the team's good name in turn raises him before others. This is how the cycle of goodness continues.\n\nIt is worth noticing that Valluvar names mind first and company second. The inner treasure is the root; the outer fellowship is the branch that carries the fruit into public view. A person who tends only the branch while neglecting the root will find his fame short-lived.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0b9f\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbe\u0baf\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1: \u0ba4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1, \u0b9a\u0bc0\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b8a\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0b9f\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf;

There, at a place called Shringaverapura, lived Guha, chief of the hunters. He was a boatman, raised in the forest, with little schooling. But his heart was full of pure love. When he heard that Rama was coming, he ran to meet him carrying honey and fish as an offering.\n\nSeeing Rama, Guha bowed with tears in his eyes. \"This is your own land. Stay here in my hut,\" he begged. Rama embraced him with affection. Tradition says that he told Guha, \"You are like a brother to me; with you we have become five.\"\n\nGuha already had goodness in his mind. But his fellowship with Rama carried his name across the world. The name of a boatman who lived by fishing in the forest lives on in every Ramayana.\n\nNext morning Guha ferried Rama, Sita and Lakshmana across the Ganga in his boat. Later, when Bharata came with an army, Guha was at first suspicious. But when he saw Bharata's grief, his heart melted and he guided him onward.\n\nThe single night Rama spent on the far bank of the Ganga became the whole meaning of Guha's life. The story says that while Rama slept on a bed of leaves, Guha stood guard all night with his bow.\n\nGuha never sat in any royal court, and he composed no book. Yet nobody can match the fame he received. His wealth was love, and his companion was Rama, an embodiment of the Lord. These two made him known to the world.\n\nGoodness of mind was Guha's wealth, and the goodness of his company with Rama was his fame. Because both joined together, the name of a simple boatman is still spoken after ages.","reflection_ta":"\u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bb5\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0ba8\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8, \u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb4\u0bae\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"What quiet goodness do you already hold that the right company could bring into the light?","image_prompt":"The boatman Guha bowing with folded hands before Rama, Sita and Lakshmana on the bank of the Ganga, a wooden boat on the water, baskets of honey and fish, forest trees behind, scene from the Ramayana, 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\/659","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\/659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1718,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/659\/revisions\/1718"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=659"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=659"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=659"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=659"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
