How to please God ?

மாணிக்க வாசகர் திருவாசகம்
நீத்தல் விண்ணப்பம்
எட்டாம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

தாரகை போலும் தலைத்தலை மாலைத் தழலரப்பூண்
வீர என் தன்னை விடுதி கண்டாய் விடில் என்னை மிக்கார்
ஆரடியான் என்னின் உத்தரகோசமங்கைக்கு அரசின்
சீரடியார் அடியான் என்று நின்னைச் சிரிப்பிப்பனே.

thirucciRRambalam

Meaning:
As if wearing the stars, oh the Valiant Who is adorned with
the heads (skulls) on Your head and with fire like snakes,
You are leaving me off ! If You discard me, when the people
greater than me inquire who I am, I would say, "I am the slave 
of the perfect devotees of the King of uththara kOca maN^gai.",
thus making You smile (back at me).

Notes:
1. Under the influence of the three-fold filth, we do things
that are inappropriate. As the father, our God acts as if
He is angry in order to make us feel our mistake. (If God
really decides to discard us, there would never be any 
possibility of glory for the soul. But the all Merciful God
never discards any soul however big be the mistake 
committed, but encourages those who hold on to the 
right path by making them enter Its Bliss at the earliest.) 
Now from the glorious state of Its devotion the soul is 
left out. Now the way for the individual is to show devotion
to the devotees of the God. Like the son who comes behind
the mother who advocates with father to pardon the errant
son, these great devotees given their closeness due to
sincerity plead to God making the God forgive and take us
back in to Its great fold. Such great is the devotion to the
devotees.
2. thArakai - star; thazal - fire; ara - snake
