Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Thiruvarutpayan (திருவருட்பயன்) 

 

அறியும் நெறி

தன் நிறமும் பல் நிறமும் தானாம் கல் தன்மை தரும்
பொன் நிறம் போல் மன் நிறம் இப்பூ.   55

Song as Romanized text

 
aRiyum neRi

than n-iRamum pal n-iRamum thAnAm kal thanmai tharum
pon n-iRam pOl man n-iRam ippU.    55

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 Like the sun ray that makes the crystal,
show its color as well as the colors of those around it,
the Divine Grace enables this world.

 Notes: 

1.  தானாம் கல் - Crystal. 
Crystal shows its form as well as reflects the forms and colors of
the nearby objects. The same way the life is also influenced by
all the associations it has.

2. Even though the crystal can reflect the other objects, it can only
do so when there is light. The same way when kindled by the Grace,
the life is able to function.

3.  Essence of Kena Upanishad is this kindling Grace
