A description of the experience
Tirrukural, the - Book 1 In Praise of God
1. A begins the alphabet
And God, primordial, the world.
2. What use is that learning which does not lead
To the blessed feet of Pure intelligence?"
3. Long life on earth is theirs who clasp
The glorious flower-embedded feet.
4. Never harmed are those who clasp the feet
Of the one beyond likes and hates.
5. The delusions caused by good deeds and bad
Shall never be theirs who seek God's praises.
6. Long life is theirs who tread the path
Of him who conquered the five senses.
7. None shall be free from carping care
Save those at the feet beyond compare.
8. The feet of the Lord with the Virtue-wheel
Will help to cross the sea of birth.
9. Palsied and useless the head unbowed
At the feet of the God of eightfold virtue.
10. The ocean of births can be crossed by those
Who clasp God's feet, and none else.
