Tirumantiram 156 - Tantra 1 - Seeking money to resolve difficulties, will only force difficulties to continue

வைச்சு அகல்வுற்றது கண்டு மனிதர்கள்
அச்சு அகலாது என நாடும் அரும்பொருள்
பிச்சது வாய்ப்பின் தொடர்வுறு மற்றவர்
எச்சகலா நின்று இளைக்கின்றவாறே.   156.

"Despicability expanded", having-seen humans,
"Difficulty will-expand-not", thus will-seek the "difficult-to-obtain"-material.
"Ignorance"-that (-they-)get-if, (difficulty-)contiue-will(.)  "Other-thing"-they
"Deficiency-departed-not having-abided", to-slacken(-continue) (!)

1  Human beings having seen that their despicability (on account of lack of money) has expanded,
2  will seek money that is difficult to obtain, 
    thinking that their difficulty will not expand (if they have money).
3  If they get that ignorance, their difficulty will only continue.
4  Other thing is that they will continue to slacken, 
    on account of their deficiency not having departed.
