Tirumandiram - 35

Praise ye the Lord!

Aatrugilavazhi yagum Iraivanaip
Pottrumin Pottrip Pugazhmin Pugazhndidil
Mettrisaikkung Kizhakkuth Thisai Yettodu
Mattruvan Appadi Yattavumaame.

If we follow the path of God, praise and sing His glory, the Lord of all directions including the east and the west, will transform you to become Him.
This is a very beautiful verse referring to the Yoga marga or following the path of consciousness which is present everywhere. Essentially, it is a road that leads to everywhere with neither a path nor a sidewalk. Where you stand is the way and the destination to that goal is within. Praising and extolling the glory of God invokes those qualities in our mind and eventually we transform into that we praise or glorify. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
