Note: Those who want to understand the metaphysics of Theism but within rationality may enjoy reading this verse and the commentary to it. Saivism is NOT irrational at all.

Hindu Dharma is the Caste Free Siva Dharma
One of the most unfortunate features of the public understanding of Hinduism is that it identified with the evil Brahmanism and which is called the Hindu Dharma justifying the criminal varNasrama Dharma , the cause of many evils in Hinduism and which has polluted even the caste free Islam and Christianity. It is hardly known that there is Siva Dharma which fights a bitter battle with VD but which is dead even among the Tamils
who articulated it in the first place.
This verse makes it very clear that the essence of any religion is the practice of LOVE and that whoever practices this universal LOVE that overlooks any differences that may exist, may have his Third Eye opened and with that allowed to SEE the Dance of Siva and hence BEING Himself. This direct vision of BEING that puts an end to the metaphysical concealment also makes the person a firm believer in the reality and truth of BEING. What can be SEEN directly though only the metaphysical eyes destroys all doubts and uncertainties and with that makes one a Bakta, an Adyar a humble servant of God.
But why is that under normal circumstances the bulk of people remain BLIND with operating only with the two fleshy eyes and their instrumental extensions and call this way of life that of science, the most rational way of life?
Why is that even in the name of religion we have the greatest violence and the most inhuman discriminations such as among the Brahmanists in India ?
The root cause is the Ego and it
is that which prevents man practicing LOVE as part of his religious life. And what is the way to destroy this Ego and make the individual egoless and hence genuinely humble?
This verse lists Civa Dharma Civa Yoga and Civa Njaanam as those that would help to destroy this Ego and make the souls pure and clean and practice LOVE as the essential part of his way of life. The Civa Dharma is heeding to the inner guidance of BEING as Civa where as part of becoming free one gives up whatever one cherishes and
gaining in that the blessings of Siva where it is these blessings that are called Dharma which is the original meaning as in Sumerian nam-tara etc,
This leads to union with Civa Himself and hence the transmutation of the soul into the essence of Civa Himself. This leads to the destruction of Cuddu , seeing everything as this and that and which leads to enjoyment Civa Njaanam the Cuddu-Free and hence timeless Absolute Understanding.
It is this Civa Njaanam which in fact destroys the ego of the soul and make it egoless and at which point it becomes the same as Civa and in that wholly LOVE and nothing else.

நல்லசிவ தன்மத்தால் நல்லசிவ யோகத்தால்
நல்லசிவ ஞானத்தால் நான் அழிய - வல்லதனால்
ஆரேனும் அன்புசெயின் அங்கே தலைப்படும் காண்
ஆரேனும் காணா அரன்
உரை:
சித்த மலங் கெடுத்து ஆன்மாவை சிவமாக்கும் சிவதன்மம், ஆன்மாவை சுத்தமாக்கி சிவபரம்பொருளொடு ஒன்றித்து வேறற நிற்கச் செய்யும் சிவயோம். மேலும் சுட்டுணர்வில் பட்டிருக்லும் ஆன்மாவை சுட்டுணர்வு கடந்து ஆகவே காலவுணர்வு நீங்கி நிறகத் தரும் சிவஞானம். இவை மூன்றினால் ‘நான்’ ‘எனது’ எனும் அகந்தை கெடும்
என்பதின் அத்தகையோர் பேதங்கள் பாராட்டாது எல்லா உயிர்கட்கும் அன்பே செய்வர். அவ்வாறு யார் வாழ்கின்றார்களோ அவர்கள் நுதல் விழி திறக்கப்ப்ட்டு
யாருக்கும் சாதாரண முறையில் காண வாரா இறைவன் நுதல் விழி நாட்டத்தில் காண வருவன் காண்.
