I have taken them from a book I am currently working on. Each sentence was originally recorded by Muruganar in Tamil verse:’ 1. My devotees have the qualifications to rejoice abundantly, like children of an emperor. 2. Abandon the drama [of the world] and seek the Self within. Remaining within, I will protect you, [ensuring] that no harm befalls you. 3. If you inquire and know me, the indweller, in that state there will be no reason for you to worry about the world. 4. For the cruel disease of burning samsara to end, the correct regimen is to entrust all your burdens on me. 5. In order that your needless anxieties cease, make sure that all your burdens are placed on me through the brave act of depending totally on grace. 6. If you completely surrender all your responsibilities to me, I will accept them as mine and manage them. 7. When bearing the entire burden remains my responsibility, why do you have any worries? 8. Long ago you offered your body, possessions and soul to me, making them mine, so why do you still regard these things as 'I' and 'mine' and associate yourself with them? 9. Seek my grace within the Heart. I will drive away your darkness and show you the light. This is my responsibility.
