Verse: 64

TRANSLITERATION:

âtalinâl tâniyattai aTainta pinnar
angkuLLa patarkaLai (tûra) eritalê pôl
pêtamara uNarporuLai uNarnta pinnar
ingkurra nûlai ellâm erital vêNTum
vâtakamâm nûlai ellâm erinta pinnar
varuntiyumê anavaratam iTaivi Tâmal
bôtamura câtakamây nitityâcattai
puriyu Tanê pûraNamây palakal vêNTum.

TRANSLATION:

Hence, all the texts should be thrown aside
Once their meanings are digested,
Like throwing off the husk
After obtaining the grain.
Having thrown away the texts,
Which have become a disadvantage,
One should daily practise helpful, constant meditation intently, desirously and perfectly
For gaining complete Knowledge.

COMMENTARY:

Just as you throw away the chaff, keeping only the grains after the threshing of paddy,
one should choose only what is necessary for one's learning and practice and toss away all other books. One should not even touch those books which do not help in gaining one's experience. One should not go on searching for new books. Reflect constantly like the continuous flow of oil on what you have already understood with clarity, assimilate the essence and become 'That' (We are That and That We are), just as a cow initially swallows the fodder, but ruminates afterwards at leisure for better digestion.

                 YOU ARE EVERYTHING!
