Most of the Siththars have preached to their disciples that all the happiness that are attained by the external life are unstable, which leads to the cause for rebirth and hence we need to identify these unstable pleasure and stay away from them in order to prevent ourselves from the re birth and attain a state of beatification. Now let us see a song told by Paambaatti Siththar.
"மணக்கோலம் கண்டுமிக மன மகிழ்ந்து
manakkoalam kandumika mana magizhinthu
மக்கள்மனை சுற்றத்தோடு மயங்கி நின்றாய்
makkaamanai sutraththoadu mayangi ninraai
பிணக்கோலம் கண்டுபின்னும் துறவா விட்டால்
pinakkoalam kandupinnum thuravaa vittaal
பிறப்புக்கே துணையாம் என்று ஆடாய் பாம்பே!
pirappukkae thunaiyaam enru aadaai paambae!”
- பாம்பாட்டிச்சித்தர் (Paambaatti Siththar)
The marriage which brings two hearts closer is always a happy beginning only. But does the happiness stay forever? This is the question to the people who say, ‘I have finished the marriage of my children and got grandchildren, have an own home with garden, a vehicle, all the wealth and I am leaving happy!!’.
By seeing the dead body, realize that one day we will also attain this state. If we do not retire from all these unstable pleasures and seek for a blissful state, then again again we will take rebirth, says Paambaatti Siththar.
