Use of the body

திருநாவுக்கரசர் - தேவாரம் தலம் : போது பண் : தனித் திருக்குறுந்தொகை ஐந்தாம் திருமுறை. திருச்சிற்றம்பலம் வாழ்த்த வாயும் நினைக்க மடநெஞ்சும் தாழ்த்தச் சென்னியுந் தந்த தலைவனைச் சூழ்த்த மாமலர் தூவித் துதியாதே வீழ்த்த வாவினை யேன்நெடுங் காலமே. 5.90.7 திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

thirun^Avukkarachar thEvAram thalam : common thanith thirukkuRun^thokai ain^dhAm thirumuRai thiruchchiRRambalam vAzththa vAyum n^inaikka maDa n^enychum thAzththa chenniyum than^dha thalaivanaich chUzththa mAmalar thUvith thudhiyAdhE vIzththavA vinaiyEn n^eDuN^ kAlamE thiruchchiRRambalam Meaning: To praise - the mouth, to think - the stupid mind and to salute - the head, the Lord gave. Rather than worshipping that Chief by offering flowers haunted by bees, how I, the ill-deedful, ruined long time ! Notes: 1. The use of this carrier of body is to utilize in the worship of God elevating the soul to the great blissful liberation. When the body is not used utilized for that purpose what is the point in having the body ? It is as good as waste. That is the reason thirukkuRal states "kOLil poRiyil guNamilavE eNguNaththAn thALai vaNaN^gAth thalai" (eNguNaththAn - One with eight characters - Lord shiva) 2. chenni - head; chUzththa - swarmed.
