THIRUKKOTTHUMBI - SONG 3

தினைத்தனை உள்ளதோர் பூவினில் தேன் உண்ணாதே
நினைத்தொறும் காண்தொறும் பேசுந்தொறும் எப்போதும்
அனைத்து எலும்பும் உள் நெக ஆனந்தத்தேன் சொரியும்
குனிப்புடையானுக்கே சென்றூதாய் கோத்தும்பீ

In this song, Manickavasagar asks the honey bee NOT to drink the honey from the flower which is very very small. Instead go and reach the lord who is the largest flower and a reservoir of ever flowing honey. Go there and sing his glory. Then it will be an ever lasting sweet experience.

If one sings the glory of the lord, then the sweet experience will melt even our hard bones. That sweetness will flow throughout our body and sweeten our soul. The moment one think or see or speak about this experience, then immediately they are lost in the ocean of nectar.

காதலாகிக் கசிந்து கண்ணீர் மல்கி as stated by thirugnanasambandhar in his final pathigam at nallur perumanam kshetram explains the state of a devotee on experiencing the lord.

Similarly Manickavasagar says in his another song - தாயினும் சாலப்பரிந்து... பாவியேனுடைய ஊனினை உருக்கி உள்ளொளி பெருக்கி...ஆனந்தமய தேனினைச் சொரிந்து... the lord's grace will melt the body of his devotee and increase the lustre of his soul and thereafter it will rain nectars. Nothing more to explain. We need to stay immersed in that experience. None will be able to move away from that.
