எண்ணிய முடிதல் வேண்டும்

Barthiyar's most inspirational poem that awakens the reader ,

எண்ணிய முடிதல் வேண்டும், 

நல்லவே யெண்ணல்  வேண்டும்;

திண்ணிய நெஞ்சம் வேண்டும்,

தெளிந்த நல் லறிவு வேண்டும்;

பண்ணிய பாவமெல்லாம் 

பரிதி முன் பனியே போல,

நண்ணிய நின்மு னிங்கு 

நசித்திட வேண்டும்  அன்னாய்! 

எண்ணிய முடிதல் வேண்டும், 

        Ability to accomplish the goal whatever in thoughts! Ma give me energy to do my work to the fullest and to get my goal achieved. 

         Here in the words of vivekananda , the only way to achieve success in our work is to pay as much attention to the means as to the end.Proper attention to the finishing, strengthening, of the means is what we need. With the means all right, the end must come. We forget that it is the cause that produces the effect; the effect cannot come by itself; and unless the causes are exact, proper, and powerful, the effect will not be produced.
 

நல்லவே யெண்ணல்  வேண்டும்;

Mind is bewildering and runs on its own when not properly controlled.Concentration purifies and calms the surging emotions, strengthens the current of thought and clarifies the ideas. 

திண்ணிய நெஞ்சம் வேண்டும்,

Give me strength to face anything boldly.If we are ever to gain freedom, it must be by conquering nature, never by running away. Cowards never win victories. We have to fight fear and troubles and ignorance if we expect them to flee before us. 

தெளிந்த நல் லறிவு வேண்டும்;

When the lake is in a boisterous state on account of turbulent waves you can hardly see the bottom of the lake. When the waves subside you can clearly see the bottom of the lake. Even so when the mind is in an agitated condition you cannot see your paths to the goal. so Give me very clear mental vision to achieve my goal. 

பண்ணிய பாவமெல்லாம் 

பரிதி முன் பனியே போல,

நண்ணிய நின்மு னிங்கு 

நசித்திட வேண்டும்  அன்னாய்

The effects of the deeds already performed in the past should be destroyed like a melting snow in the sun in-front of you.
