English translation of the Tamil Spiritual Classic by Saint Tirumular
TANTRA ONE
23 MIDDLE PATH
320: Middle Path Is Wisdom
Unless you in middle path stand, wisdom you have not,
To those who in middle path stand, hell opens not its gate,
Those that in middle path stand, heavenly beings are they;
In the noble fellowship of the just, I too walked in their way.
321: Gods And Saints Stand In Middle Path
The blue-dark cloud-hued being Vishnu in middle path stood,
The Brahma who chants the Vedas four in the middle path stood,
The wise saintly souls also in middle path stood,
He, our lord supreme - He, in middle path stood.
322: Walk With The Just
Some saintly became, because they in middle path stood,
Some to heavenly beings turned, because they in justice stood,
Some to Siva-state attained, because they in justice stood,
And so in the good company of the just, I, too, unfaltering stood.
323: The Just Adore His Feet
What he creates, none but he destroys;
On their devout heads, the just bore aloft his holy feet;
Who chant the pure name with ardour
And cling thereof, in the society of the just, they meet.
