திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்
இன்றுநன்று நாளைநன் றென்றுநின்ற இச்சையால்
பொன்றுகின்ற வாழ்க்கையைப் போகவிட்டுப் போதுமின்
மின்றயங்கு சோதியான் வெண்மதி விரிபுனல்
கொன்றைதுன்று சென்னியான் கோடிகாவு சேர்மினே.

Meaning of Thevaram
Leave off the living that gets tired wishfully thinking, "Today is good,
hope tomorrow would be good !" Come along to reach at the abode
thirukkooDikaavu of the Lightning like Luminant Lord, adorned with
white moon, widening river (gangai) and konRai flower !
Notes
The life goes on in the hope that one day or the other the life will be
better. It is very customary to hear the words, "How was the day today ?"
The one who feels the day was good wishes how good it would be if the
coming days also could be that way and the one who did not enjoy the
day tries to look for the next day to be a good day atleast ! Isn't the
life to be enjoyed all throughout ? sundharar says, "I would not care
whether the astrologers tell it is a good day, bad day, or a very
normal day. Oh Lord I would keep chanting namaH shivAya." One who
dwells in the thinking of shivAya namaH, there is no danger forthcoming.
So sambandhar guides us to worship the Lord not getting lost in the
routines.
