Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 Seeing as it is, 
not seeing anything forcibly derived,
be in the mode of reception as it is given!

 Notes: 

1. These songs are for the advanced practitioners,
who have understood the why's of seeking the Divine Grace.
This section is for the Sadhaka or the practitioner. 
The Sadhaka who has completed all the analysis required and
firmly chose the path to Lard Shiva as guided by the guru,
should stay in the mode recommended by this song.

While all the earlier stages are to raise the doubts and 
clarification, now it is the time to submit oneself totally to
Grace. The practitioner should be able to see as it is
without coloring with his/her own filters.
It is also very important that nothing is seen forcibly.
Overall this should be a mode of accepting the Divine Grace
as it is provided - a complete alignment tuning towards the 
Grace.

Relate this to the state of the Nayanmar saints.
Those acts which a materialistic mind will find it hard to accept,
were done in absolute alignment to the Supreme Shiva.
That is why they are our inspiration!
