ஏழாம் தந்திரம்

பத்தாம் திருமுறை
திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்
ஒன்றே குலமும் ஒருவனே தேவனும்
நன்றே நினைமின் நமனில்லை நாணாமே
சென்றே புகும் கதி இல்லை நும் சித்தத்து
நின்றே நிலைபெற நீர் நினைந்து உய்மினே.

Meaning of song:
There is only one clan; There is only one God;
Think good only, there would be no yaman;
There would be no more destination
(to be born again) to go shamelessly;
In your heart think (God) permanently
and be uplifted.
Notes:
1. People invent so many divisions among them.
By caste, creed, race, sex, status, region ....
But there is only one clan all throughout.
It includes not only people, but all living creatures.
This is the clan of souls.
2. There is only one God. Those who do not realize
this fact, burden themselves with all kinds of
confusion and concern.
c.f. ekam sad viprAH bahudhA vadanti - Rig veda.
3. thirumUla nAyanAr provides simple advice to us.
"Think good. Stay in your mind in thought of God shiva.
You will be uplifted."
