The smell of ghee draws the ants; they come one by one, slowly, until the whole pot is covered. The senses work the same way: not in a day, but slowly they swarm over the soul.\n\n'Leaving what truly is and chasing what is not' describes maya: letting go of the lasting to chase the fleeting. Saiva Siddhanta divides things into sat, the real, and asat, the unreal, and places the soul between them, able to cling to either.","story_title_ta":"\u0b89\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9a\u0bae\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1","story_ta":"\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b8a\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8a\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf: '\u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b8f\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd?' \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3 \u0b89\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9a\u0bae\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0baa\u0bb4\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b89\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9a\u0bae\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bbf\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb4\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd. \u0b87\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bae\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1; '\u0b89\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd, '\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b86\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0bb0\u0b95\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba9 \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bbf \u0b87\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1.

His wandering brought him to Uthirakosamangai, an ancient shrine in the south-east of the Pandya land.\n\nUthirakosamangai is very old. Temple tradition says that here the Lord taught Uma the secret meaning of the Vedas; 'uthiram' means teaching and 'kosam' a hidden treasure. It is honoured as a place where a thousand sages did penance, and as the home of a Nataraja carved from emerald. It is also called 'the first Chidambaram'.\n\nStanding in that temple with a breaking heart, the poet cried out in fifty verses, 'Do not forsake me, do not forsake me.' The Thiruvathavurar Puranam says the Lord, moved by his tears, appeared to him again in the very guru form he had shown at Perunthurai. That grace, 'I have not abandoned you; come to Thillai', set him walking once more. In every verse he calls on the 'King of Uthirakosamangai', in thanks for that returning grace.","reflection_ta":"\u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd '\u0bae\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2 \u0bae\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2' \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1?","reflection_en":"Which habit crept over you slowly, like ants on a pot of ghee?","image_prompt":"An ancient temple at Uthirakosamangai at dawn, a weeping sage in white kneeling at the sanctum door, and inside a soft emerald glow where a gentle guru figure in saffron appears beneath a temple tree, holding out his hand; a temple tank and palms nearby.
