Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.

[Visalakshi Ramani]

[h=1]தவப்பயன்?[/h]
கடும் தவங்களை இயற்றி
அரும் சக்திகளைப் பெற்று,
அகங்காரம் கொண்டுவிட்ட
மகானிடம் வந்தான் ஒருவன்.

“ஐயா! தங்களால் செய்வதற்கு
இயலாதது ஏதுமில்லை அன்றோ?”
குறுநகையுடன் கூறினார் மகான்,
“வெறுமனே எதற்கு வெட்டிப்பேச்சு?

வேண்டுமானால் சோதியுங்கள்,
வேண்டும் விதங்களில் நீங்கள்!”
காட்டில் தோன்றியது ஒரு யானை;
“கொல்ல முடியுமா அந்த யானையை?”

கையால் ஜபித்த ஜலத்தை, யானை
மெய்யில் தெளித்ததும், கூக்குரலுடன்
மண்ணில் விழுந்து புரண்டபடியே
மாண்டே போய்விட்டது யானை!

“யானையைப் பிழைக்க வைக்கவும்
இயலுமா உங்களால், கூறுங்கள்!”
தெளித்த ஜலம் மேலே பட்டதுமே
தெளிவாய் எழுந்து நின்றது யானை!

பெருமையுடன் சிரிப்பவரிடம்,
அருமையான கேள்வி கேட்டார்,
“யானை இறந்து பிழைத்தால்
யாது பயன் உமக்கு? கூறும்!

இத்தனை கடும் தவத்தையும்
மொத்தமாக வீணடித்தீரே நீர்!
இறைவனுக்கு அர்ப்பணித்திருந்தால்,
இறையுடனேயே கலந்திருக்கலாமே!”

முகத்தில் அறைந்ததைப் போல
முதல் முறையாக உணர்ந்தார்;
வாழ்நாட்களை எல்லாவற்றையும்
வீண் நாட்கள் ஆக்கிவிட்ட தபஸ்வி!

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி.

MIRACULOUS POWERS.

A man did severe tapas and gained several unusual powers. He became very proud of his powers.

One day another man approached him and asked,”Revered sire! Can you perform miracles?”

The tapasvi replied, ” You may test me in any way you deem fit. I can prove my special powers.” The man now asked the tapasvi,” Can you kill the elephant standing over there?”

The tapasvi after the utterance of a mantrA, threw some water on the elephant. It immediately fell down quite dead.

The man now asked the tapasvi,” Can you bring back the elephant to life?”

After the utterance of another mantraa the tapasvi threw some water on the elephant and brought it back to life.

The man asked the tapasvi,” What is the use of killing and bringing back to life an elephant, when you could have used your tapas for gaining mOkshA?”.

The tapasvi felt sheepish for having wasted all his life in such a useless tapas.

 

[nannilam_balasubramanian]

A Tapasvi was performing austerities under an Ambali Tree to please the Lord.
One day, Shri Narada was going that way to Vaikunth. He saw the Tapasvi
and approached him. The Tapasvi bowed down to HIM and said, since your are
going to Vaikunth, could you kindly ask the Lord on my behalf as to when he would
give me Darshan. Shri Narada went to Vaikunth and asked the Lord about the
Tapasvi. The Lord replied to Shri Narada and said "Tell the Tapasvi that for getting
the Darshan, he will still have to perform the austerities for as many years as there
are leaves on the Ambali Tree. Shri Narada was having an apprehension as to how to
tell the Lord' words to Tapasvi. Shri Narada was going back over the sky. The Tapasvi
called him and asked HIM to tell him the Lord's reply. Shri Narada was hesitating and was
not willing to tell the actual information. The Tapasvi did not however remain silent and asked
Shri Narada as to what was the actual reply from Lord. The Tapasvi told Shri Narada, not
to hesitate to tell the reply, whether it is negative or positive about the Darshan.
Shri Narada told the the true statement of the Lord to the Tapasvi. The Tapasvi on hearing
the Divine words of the Lord started singing and dancing under the Ambali Tree. On knowing
the determination and the love & Bakthi of the Tapasvi., Lord appeared before the Tapasvi and
gave Darshan. On seeing this, Shri Narada asked the Lord about the reasoning for the Darshan.
Lord Said that HE became happy on seeing the Tapasvi's determination to have a Darshan
despite the hurdles.
