Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Thiruvarutpayan (திருவருட்பயன்) 

 

இருள்மல நிலை

பன்மொழிகள் என் உணரும் பான்மை தெரியாத
தன்மை இருளார் தந்தது.   26

Song as Romanized text

 
iruLmala n-ilai

panmozikaL en uNarum pAnmai theriyAtha
thanmai iruLAr than-thathu.   26

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 The inability to discern that "It is all multiple names",
is given by the veil of darkness.

 Notes: 

1. We identify anything with a name. We have got
millions of names in the world and we associate specific
objects to those names. 
  But in essence there are only three (types of) things
- God, souls and bondage/world. God is called through
several names and people think they have got a different God.
The world appears in so many different variety - name and
characteristics. All these appearances happen to soul because of 
the veil of darkness.
