Stupid ones call us stupid


மாணிக்க வாசகர் திருவாசகம்
திருவம்மானை
எட்டாம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

கேட்டாயோ தோழி கிறி செய்தவாறு ஒருவன்
தீட்டார் மதில் புடைசூழ் தென்னன் பெருந்துறையான்
காட்டாதன எல்லாம் காட்டி சிவம் காட்டித்
தாள் தாமரை காட்டித் தன் கருணைத் தேன் காட்டி
நாட்டார் நகை செய்ய நாம் மேலை வீடெய்த
ஆள் தான் கொண்டாண்டவா பாடுதுங்காண் அம்மானாய்.

thirucciRRambalam

Meaning:
Did you hear my friend, the way He tricked  - the Southern
Lord at thirupperunthuRai surrounded by colorful walls ?
He showed the things never seen before; showed the
shivam; showed the Feet Lotus; showed the honey of
His Grace. Making the world laugh at us and we reaching
the ultimate liberation, the way He enslaved us, that we sing,
ammAnai.

Notes:
1. It is not a small trick. It is a major one. The whole world
laugh at the devotee as insane and stupid. But in reality 
the ones to be laughed at or pitied at are those who 
did not hold on to the safeguarding Feet of God. 
It is like the insane people calling others insane !
For the ones who seek it get to the Supreme state of
Lord shiva. 
2. God shows to the devotee who has got to receive
the Grace, the great realizations that were never even
imagined when stuck away from God. Having realized 
the truth the devotee stands different from the rest, to
be guided by the God Who shows the Supreme Truth 
- shivam, and the way to hold on to the Glorious Feet 
of God, leading to the Supreme liberation.
3. kiRi - trick/deception; thITTAr - colored.
