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.
