Translation of thirumoolar thirumanthiram:

Unless one strives continuously understanding the right ways,
God is very difficult Thing to be kept even for a while for anybody.
The reason for keeping the great wisdom cryptic is nothing but,
by not trumpeting, by worshipfully following you can achieve !

Notes:
1. Even when a sAdhaka has achieved a great state, 
unless there is continuous and right effort as needed,
the joy of approaching the God cannot be sustained.
   Such a sAdhaka should have the focus on religiously
working for the accomplishment rather than getting
scattered by glorification amongst other of what is achieved.
(The popular story of pundit and boatman could be recalled here.)
2. Trumpeting needs to be avoided and not the right
guidance to the needy. By that way the guru becomes 
the key to the great cryptic wisdom.
3. iRai - God; iRai - even for a while.
