Tirumandiram - 21

Sing his praise
Vaanap perungondal Maal Ayan Vanavar
Oonap piravi Ozhikkum Oruvanaik
Kaanak Kaliru Kadarap Pilanda Eng
Konaip Pugazhumin Koodalumaame

Merge with the Lord by singing his praise. He is the one who cuts asunder this cycle of limiting human births. His compassion is wide like the sky and he is the one who protects Brahma and Vishnu. He is the one who killed the wild elephant called the ego that trumpets madly around. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

The ego is indeed a mad elephant! What a lovely and apt image! I managed to get a copy of Thirumandiram, and am enjoying going through it.
