thiruchchiRRambalam

Meaning:
Those who pray, offer pure good flowers and
stay hailing, wailing and lamenting out of great
desire, and those who pass their time neglecting
(the God) - logging their accounts is the Lord of
innambar.

Notes:
1. thirumuRai pleads, "Oh God, even Your anger is
tolerable but it can certainly not be tolerated if
You ignore us !"
The peerless glory of our Lord is well known to
us. Still how sincerely are we utilizing the time
given to us for the worship of God ? The syndrome
of "time-pass" and "ignoring" are very dangerous.
They would push down unless one carefully hinges on
to the uplifting efforts. Having known the glorious
uplifting Feet of the Supreme does it make any sense
to ignore the same and fall into the pit ?! Those
who realize the importance of time and channelize
their efforts judiciously would be the ones who
benefit ultimately.
2. This point can never be under-stressed, that is
why all our great saints drive in the importance of
focussing on God. c.f. "n^ALAya pOgAmE n^anychaNiyum
kaNDanukkE ALAya anbu cheyvOm" - sambandhar,
"perumpaRRap puliyUrAnaip pEsAdha n^ALellAm piRavA
n^ALE" - appar, "pizaippanAgilum thiruvaDip pizaiyEn"
- sun^dharar, "kAlamuNDAgavE kAdhal cheydhu uymmin"
- mANikka vAsakar.
3. The pradhosha vrata
(http://www.shaivism.org/Pradhosham.html )
is the plead to forgive the worst sin of ignoring the
God.
