Upadeśa Undiyār

Verse 5

எண்ணுரு யாவு மிறையுரு வாமெனவெண்ணி வழிபட லுந்தீபறவீசனற் பூசனை யுந்தீபற

எண் உரு யாவும் இறை உருவாம் என எண்ணி வழிபடல் உந்தீபற ஈசன் நல் பூசனை உந்தீபற

In plain words

The old list gives the Lord eight forms — earth, water, fire, air, space, sun, moon, and the living creature. Which is to say: everything. So see all of it as His shape, and live like that. That is worship, and Bhagavan calls it good. No altar is being taken away from you. The walls around it are.

Word for word

To worship, regarding all the eight forms as the form of the Lord, is good worship of the Lord. Fly up, undī! Fly up, undī!
