4. Pottri-thiru-ahaval The contemplatives holding on to their faith unflaggingly like wax faced with fire with melting hear: worshipped: They wept, trembled, danced, cried aloud, sang and prayed. Even as it is said that the teeth of the crocodile and the grip of the fool relax not what they catch hold of with unintcrimitting pure love becoming firm in faith, like a nail driven into a green tree, with tears trickling increasingly and mind in a whirl like the sea, with heart subdued and body shivering eschewing shyness, while the world mocked at them as ghouls, and assuming the scornful words of the folk as ornament verily, losing all casuistry, their intelligence in a whirl, with the mind rapt with the goal aimed at to reach Infinity as the supreme Miracle, they remained unswerving in mind: Lowing like a calved cow and moaning not thinking of another god even in a dream and not despising as a little think the greatness of the grace of Him of unique heaven in coming down on earth and becoming Guru supreme (59-76). 11 161
