(1)Ninaippadhellaam nadandhuvittaal dheivam yedhumillai
nadandhadhaiye ninaiththirundhaal amaidhi endrumillai

If everything that one thinks (wishes)  of , comes true ; then there is no (need of)  god,
If one keeps on dwelling(worrying)  about what happened, all the time , then there will be no peace ever.

(2)mudindha kadhai thodarvadhillai iraivan ettinile
thodarndha kadhai mudivadhillai manidhan veettinile

In God’s books , a finished story never continues
a story that continues never ends in a human’s house

(3)aayiram vaasal idhayam adhil aayiram ennangal udhayam
yaaro varuvaar yaaro iruppaar varuvadhum povadhum theriyaadhu

The heart contains a thousand gates , through which a thousand feelings ( ideas) arise,
In it someone will come , some one will stay. how they came in or left will not be realized/known.

(4)oruvar mattum kudiyirundhal thunbam edhumillai
onrirukka onru vandhaal enrum amaidhiillai

If only one person stays in it , then there will be no sorrow,
if when one is already there, another tries  to come in , then there will never be peace.

(5)enge vaalkkai thodangum adhu enge evvidham mudiyum
idhudhaan paadhai idhudhaan payanam enbadhu yaarukkum theriyaadhu

where does life start , where and when it ends,
is this the right path , is this the right journey , is unknown to anyone

(6)paadhaiyellaam maarivarum payanam mudindhuvidum
maaruvadhai purindhu kondaal mayakkam thelindhuvidum

path’s will change , the journey will eventually end,
if one realizes the change , the confusion will be clarified.
