Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Thiruvarutpayan (திருவருட்பயன்) 

 

அருளது நிலை

இற்றை வரை இயைந்தும் ஏதும் பழக்கம் இலா
வெற்றுயிர்க்கு வீடு மிகை  40

Song as Romanized text

 
aruLathu n-ilai

iRRai varai iyan-thum Ethum pazakkam ilA
veRRuyirkku vIDu mikai.  40

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 Staying so long together.
the soul has not got any familiarity with the Grace.
Liberation is too much for the vain soul to ask!

 Notes: 

1. Isn't it crazy that we are looking for "shivagathi" or
"Liberation" or "Moksha" from somewhere to come.
Shiva and His Grace are always with us. His Grace
is indeed the essential over which we live.
Our association with Shiva has been since the "time"
itself came into existence. All within and outside us are
Shiva with His Grace. Still we hardly are able to even
recognize. From which universe will the liberation come from?!
