Tirumandiram - 27

Seated in your heart

Sandhi Enathhakka Tamarai Vaanmugath
Thandamil Eesan Arul Namak ke Endru
Nandiyai Naalum Vanangap Padum Avar
Pundiyinulle Pugundunindraane

Beseeching the Lord who is beautiful of face like the glorious setting sun, if one worships Nandi (Shiva), daily, he will abide in that person's heart.
Worship is an act of surrendering the mind and pouring it out fully into consciousness. When one's mind is dissolved this way, the very consciousness that is worshipped replaces the mind and shines in all its glory. Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 26

Worship Consciousness

Thodarndu Nindraanaith Thozhumin Thozhudaal
Padarndu Nindravanpari Parayamuttrung
Kadandunindrankama lammalar mele
Udandirundanadip Punniya Maame.
Consciousness os one continuous stretch. Worship it. You attain to grace by doing so as it is spread wide around the earth and beyond it too. It exists over the thousand petalled lotus, blissfully with a glorious smile. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 25

Unbounded Grace

Pirappili Pinngnyagan Perarulalan

Irappili Yaavarkkum Inbam Arulum

Turappili Thannaith Thozhumin Thozhudal

Maraippili Maya Viruthamum Aame

This one of matted locks is birthless. He flows with unbounded grace. He has no death either and bestows his grace upon all those who seek him and never deserts them. Once you worship him, the screen of illusion that hides the one consciousness in all is lifted and the individual being is raised in his level of awareness. - Swahilya Shambhavi (Pic. Sufidar - All hands pray and worship the one Lord.)

The way to his grace

Pottrisaithum Pugazhndum Punidannadi
Tetrumin Endrum Sivanadikke Selvam
Aatriyadendru Ayalutra Sindaiyai
Matrinindrar Vazhi Manninindraane.
May you ever sing the praise of the one consciousness. Glorify in song, the Divine feet of Shiva. Gather all your treasures - your capabilities - and pour it one-pointed at the altar of consciousness. To the one whose thought never wavers, Shiva ever abides, showering his Grace.
- Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 23

He said "Stop," and it did

Vallavam Vannik Kiraiyidai Vaarana
Nillena Nirpitha Needhiyul Eesanai
Illena Venda Iraiyavar Thammudal
Allum Pagalum Arulugindrane.

Just as the fire that once threatened to consume the world was contained by just a word, "Stop," by the Lord, never doubt his presence. The one who showers his grace through day and night on all beings including the gods, is always there. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 22

The Lord is aware of our thoughts

Manathil Ezhugindra Maya Nan Nadan
Ninaitha dariva nenil than ninaikkilar
Enakkirai Anbilan Enbar Iraivan
Pizhaikkanin drar pakkam peni nindraane.

This Lord is the Source for our thoughts that create this world of illusion. Though we are not aware, the Lord knows our thoughts. There are those who complain that God does not love me. But those who seek his help to be saved from this wheel of transmigration of birth and deatyh, he is sure to be on their side. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

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.
