    அப்பா பரமசிவம்

    பல்லவி

    அப்பா பரமசிவம்

    சரணங்கள்

    அன்றுதொட்டு இன்றுமட்டும் அடியேனுந் தேவரீரும்
    அத்துவித மாயிருந்தவித்தைதனை யாரறிவார்

    ஒப்பாரும் மிக்காரு மில்லா வொருபொருளே
    தப்பேது யான்செயினும் அப்பா பொறுத்தருள்வாய்

    அப்பாலுக் கப்பாலா யாருமறி யாதவண்ணம்
    ஆடுந் திருநடனங் காண வருள்புரிவாய்

    You have to realize It to know It; and after you realize It, you know It; and before you realize It, you want It; and after you realize It, you don't want It. You have lost something. You have lost your goal for Self Realization, because you've got it.
