The Easy Way Out

It can be observed from purANAs that penance has been a way of getting ones 
wishes and desires. dhurvA, hiranyan are one of the examples. However, is it 
fail proof and fool proof? Apart from the fact, that one has to torment 
oneself, unless performed blemishlessly, the fruits of the efforts will not 
fructify.

Without eating anything, doing peance amidst five fires-panchAgni- four fires 
in four sides and one above in the sky- eating just fruits/vegetables and air 
and trying to achieve the desired end, is one way. Not a fool proof one.

There is other way. Think of the Lord Almighty. Put Him dear to your hearts. 
Keep Him in your thoughts.He who is the Lord of pirAtt, will easily grant your 
wishes-salvation.

This is the simple prescription from thirumangai mannan, in  the second 
thirumozhi of third ten
"vUN vAda vuNNAdhu, vuyir kAvalittu, vudalil piriyA pulan aindhum nondhu, thAm 
vAda, vAda, thavam seiyya vEANda. "3-2-1;
"kAyOdu nEdu kaNi vuNdu, vEsu kadum kAl nugarndhu..aindhu thEyOdu.. vEANda" 
3-2-2;
The above are not necessary.

What should be done.
This is given as the final punch line of each pAsuram
"thillai thiruchithrakUtam senRu sEArminEa"
"thirumAl thirumangaiOdAdu thillai thiruchithrakUtam senRu sEArminEa"
dhEvAdhi dhEvan thigazhginRa thiruchithrakUtam senRu sEArmngaLEA"

He is in thiruchithraKutam-chidambaram.Surrender at His feet, is the 
Easy way out signalled by parakAlan
