Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Thiruvarutpayan (திருவருட்பயன்) 

 

இருள்மல நிலை

ஒன்று மிகினும் ஒளி கவராதேல் உள்ளம்
என்றும் அகலாது இருள்   29

Song as Romanized text

 
iruLmala n-ilai

onRu mikinum oLi kavarAthEl uLLam
enRum akalAthu iruL   29

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 Even when in excess, the darkness that does not 
leave the mind - does not extinguish the light.

 Notes: 

1. The veil of darkness exists with the soul. 
So is the light of the Divine. 
However even when in excess, the darkness
cannot take away the light of the Divine. 

At the initial stages the sould is leaning most towards the 
veil of darkness than the Divine light - though both exist alongside
to the soul. At this stage even though the darkness exerts its
high influence on the soul, it is incapable of exerting influence
on the Divine light. (This is the saving Grace for us!! Otherwise 
souls can fall into total darkness.)

2. c.f. பதியினைச் சென்று அணுகாப் பசுபாசம் - திருமந்திரம்
