Verse 596: Stopping chooses too
596. Stopping chooses too
நடக்கும் வழியில் இருளுண்டு நின்றால்கிடக்கும் இருளே வழி
nadakkum vazhiyil irulundu nindraalkidakkum irule vazhi
There is darkness on the path we walk; if we stand still, the darkness itself becomes the path.
At first darkness lies on the path as something in the way; then that same darkness is named the path itself.
