What to we do when in deep trouble ?

திருநாவுக்கரசர் தேவாரம் தலம் பொது பண் காந்தார பஞ்சமம் நான்காம் திருமுறை திருச்சிற்றம்பலம் இடுக்கண் பட்டு இருக்கினும் இரந்து யாரையும் விடுக்கில் பிரானென்று வினவுவோம் அல்லோம் அடுக்கல் கீழ்க் கிடக்கினும் அருளி நாமுற்ற நடுக்கத்தைக் கெடுப்பது நமச்சிவாயவே. திருச்சிற்றம்பலம் thirun^Avukkaracar thEvAram thalam common paN kAn^thAra panjcamam n^AnkAm thirumuRai thiruchchiRRambalam iDukkaN paTTu irukkinum iran^thu yAraiyum viDukkil pirAnenRu vinavuvOm allOm aDukkal kIzk kiDappinum aruLi n^AmuRRa n^aDukkaththaik keDuppathu n^amaccivAyavE. thiruchchiRRambalam Meaning: Even if we are in troubled state, we would not beg anybody else as, "oh Lord !". Even if pressed under layers of rock, namaccivAya is the thing that would bless and destroy the horror that we got into. Notes: 1. It came from the right time and the right mouth for us to look up for as example and guideline. Having given all potential fatal sufferings to appar, the opponents threw him into the sea bound to a rock. In that extremity if he renounced shaivism he would get spared by the opponents. He didn't. When the Supreme God's presence is realized why would he succumb to the pressure of the mortals to renounce the Supreme ? Lord shiva is there and Its Holy Five Syllables are there to hold on to. He held it strong and he was safely in shore and the opponents into the ocean of self-distrust. c.f. iDukkaN paDinum eLi van^tha ceyyAr n^aDukkaRRa kATchi yavar. - kuRaL 2. iDukkaN - hurdle; iran^thu - begging.
