Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Thiruvarutpayan (திருவருட்பயன்) 

 

உயிர் விளக்கம்

தாமே தரும் அவரைத் தம் வலியினால் கருதல்
ஆமே? இவன் ஆர் அதற்கு? 70

Uyir Vilakkam

thAmE tharum avaraith tham valiyinAl karuthal
AmE? ivan Ar athaRku?  70

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 When He is giving on His own, is it possible
to forcefully get? Who is he for that?

 Notes: 

1. A brilliant song that thwarts the stupidity of 
spiritual ego! If for any reason, we get an iota of
conception that we can "achieve" liberation, let us remember this.

The Sun is shining out there. For making the Sun shine,
you have nothing to do! Just expose yourself to the shine!

The same way Lord Shiva, Who is the essential priniciple in Sun,
is incessantly showering His Grace. The Grace is everywhere around us.
There is no need for any forceful tactic. It is all futile. 
All we need is awakening to that Grace of Lord Shiva.
