Got to think of One Who is Austerity Himself

வாயானை மனத்தானை மனத்துள் நின்ற 
    கருத்தானைக் கருத்தறிந்து முடிப்பான் தன்னைத்
தூயானைத் தூவெள்ளை ஏற்றான் தன்னைச்
    சுடர்திங்கட் சடையானைத் தொடர்ந்து நின்ற என்
தாயானைத் தவமாய தன்மையானைத்
    தலையாய தேவாதி தேவர்க்கென்றும்
சேயானைத் தென்கூடல் திருவாலவாய்ச்
    சிவனடியே சிந்திக்கப் பெற்றேன் நானே.

thiruchchiRRambalam

Meaning:
One Who is in the mouth (words), in the mind, 
in the thoughts that stand in the mind, fulfilling
the thoughts, chaste, riding the chaste white bull,
with radiant moon in the matted hair, as my mother
continuously escorts, the austerity Himself, remote
one forever for the top divines of the divines -
the Lord shiva of kUDal thiruvAlavAy in the south
- His Feet, I got to think.

Notes:
1. Our Lord is in all the external words and action
and also in the core of the thoughts for the sincere
devotees. Such devotee need not ask the God a favor,
the Lord Whose presence is explicit at the altar of the
devotees mind, takes care.
2. As the mother God not only stands, It escorts the 
devotees wherever they go. 
c.f. pAl n^inain^thu UTTum thAyinum cAlap parin^thu....
     puRam puRam thirin^tha celvamE - thiruvAcakam.
3. As the proximity to the extremely radiant God increases
it results in the identity loss for the self like a light bulb
brought to sunshine. As long as somebody takes pride
on their individual identity be it the head of the great 
divines, they stay far to God.
4. ERRAn - Having bull; thiN^gaL - moon; cEyAn - far away;
kUDal (n^An mADak kUDal) & thiruvAlavAy are the names of
madhurai. (refer to thiruviLaiyADal purANam for details)
