Translation of the Tiruppavai
Arey! It is amazing that you are still asleep, young parrot!
Smart girl who utters such lines such as” It is too cold now!” “ I will be there shortly!”
By habit you think that you are the smartest amongst us.
May it be so that way.
I do admit my defeat.
Tell me dear girl, what other work waits for you ?
If you are concerned as to who are all going,
Let me tell you, that those who planned to go, have already left!
He that killed the great elephant and destroyed all his enemies,
Of him the mysterious Elephant of a Deity,
You shall sing his praises, oh my dear pavai.
Reflections
Message to the Sadhaka who is full of youthful vitality and arrogance.
It seems that many potential sadhaks especially those who are young and smart have many an argument as to their delaying of the divine pursuit. They are often guided by the behavior of the general public. They believe that smart people do not engage in such pursuits. The advice given to such a person is, that since you have taken care of all that needs to be done and you are in such a total control, why not prove your efficiency in this too? Maybe, even consider the fact that the truly smart ones amongst us have already taken off!
