Can I get enlightenment overnight?


திருமூல நாயனார் அருளிய திருமந்திரம்
ஏழாம் தந்திரம்
இதோபதேசம்
பத்தாம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

செல்லும் அளவும் செலுத்துமின் சிந்தையை
வல்ல பரிசால் உரைமின்கள் வாய்மையை
இல்லை எனினும் பெரிதுளன் எம்மிறை
நல்ல அரனெறி நாடுமின் நீரே.

Explanation of song:


Propel the mind as much as it can go;
Say (Hail) the Truth by the possible means;
Even if said no, our Lord is very much there;
You seek the virtuous path of hara!

Notes:
1. In hithopadhesam nAyanAr suggests simple ways 
for anybody to follow and get uplifted.
2. One may not become enlightened overnight.
However all small steps achieved towards the
goal brings that much of happiness and forms
basis for further progress. So one should try
and develop as much inclination towards Lord shiva
as possible.
3. There would be discouragements on the way that
there is not God. Becoming strong that "God is very 
much there" one should make progress towards It.
