2430 Wait and Pray; Lord Will Come to You
The Lord's Holy Feet
In your thoughts hold;
His flower-like Feet
In wisdom adore;
The Lord who carries Sakti on His body
With Ganga muffled in his russet matted locks
Will in time your salvation grant;
Do wait and pray.
2431 Grace is Granted According to Degree of Devotion
In the thoughts of those
Who hold Him steadfast,
Firm He stood, His Feet planted;
--He, the Lord of Celestials;
Those who thought not of Him,
He shunned;
To each according to his devotion
He His Grace grants.
2433 Grace Leads to Holy State
Firm He planted His Feet on my head;
My fetters into fragments broke;
My heart's impurities were entire cleansed;
Milky-white pure it became;
The Lord then sought
To take me into His Fold;
What more can I say
Of my Holy State?
2435 The Truly Liberated
Three the blemishes
That harass Jiva alike,
And in darkness enveloped
He lies in stupor;
They who are from them liberated
Are the truly liberated;
Others, entangled in them,
Surely perish.
2436 Experiences in Liberation
Lust, anger and ignorance
I subdued;
And I waxed strong;
An ethereal bliss suffused me;
As though I was within the sound of "Aum"
Of a chiming bell, swinging struck.
They did by (directing) their breath in Yogic Way
Into Para;
Thus with Siva they one became.
2443 Turiyatita Experience
Transcending even thought of God
Is Atita State;
The sense organs (Indriyas) no more cognise
The Sound and the rest;
Pervasive Jiva becomes;
The Malas three, the Karmas two, the Jiva one,
The experiences (Avasthais) Five,
All these subside;
Thus subsiding, the Beginningless One wakes
Into the Turiyatita Jagra State.
Then shall Divine Rapture well up in you;
2448 Seek Lord in Intense Divine Desire and Become Siva
Shedding desires (worldly)
In intense (Divine) desire seek Him;
Yours shall be the Heavenly Kingdom of God (Param);
When you in intense (Divine) desire seek Him,
Shorn of desires (worldly),
Then shall the Knowledge of God be;
Only those who in intense (Divine) desire seek Him,
Bereft of desires (worldly),
Will (Param Param) Siva become.
Jiva Becoming Siva is indeed Knowledge Divine.
2450 Beyond Kalanta is Tat-Para State (God-Union and Not God-Becoming Yet)
Transcend Kalas Five
In the Waking State (of Turiya) appear;
Reach the lonely State of Higher Kevala (inertness)
And there solitary be;
Bereft of sentience,
Ardent enter the (Turiya) atita State;
Then shall you the very Tat-Para be.
2451 In Tat-Para Union is Aum
The Purity State
That Self-Realization brought,
The Expansive State within it,
The Malas that affected Jiva before
All these passing,
Seek the Para-atita State
Where the Tatpara and the time-bound Jiva that Para became
Commingle into one letter
That with "A" begins; "Aum."
2454 He Dances in Void and Lurks Inside the Deep Well of Pranava
Transcending Turiya
And entering Turiyatita,
Is the endless Void;
There vision the mighty Lord
That dances eternal;
They who can peer
Into the deep well of Pranava (Aum) within,
And glimpse Him
Will no more birth have.
2455 Jiva's Purification
In contact with color red
White, too, becomes red;
Unto it it is,
When Jiva purified (white)
Reaches Siva (that is red);
In Jnana's Void
That absorbs universes so unreal,
Siva stands high aloft
As a flag planted on Meru Mountain top.
2457 After Self-Realization is the Light Where No Self is
"Realize the Self,"
--So taught my Nandi;
When I realized the Self,
He placed me in place where the Self is unknown;
There the Light-Form arose,
And He granted me Himself,
Tat-Para I became.
Enter in the Splendorous Light,
In the Void that is beyond words,
No more is there anything to compare.
2465 Contemplate in Yogic Way
To the Yogis of intense Tapas,
Contemplating on Mystic Meru Mount
In the radiant Sphere within,
In their rare Tapas
Siva's Grace, of itself, appears;
Move not from this way;
There is none other too.
2484 Kundalini Yoga
He is the Light within the heart's crimson lotus;
If the Crimson Lotus within, Nada you reached,
You shall wake Kundalini Sakti;
And closing Muladhara where She imprisoned is,
Ascend upward (through Sushumna in Yogic breathing)
And open wide the gate above at cranium top.
2486 How to Reach Siva State
Brighten the light within
To merge in the Light (without);
Through Sound potency in "Aum"
Rouse Prana breath within
To merge in the breath without (Cosmic Life);
Coursing it appropriate upward,
Merge the space within into Space without;
Clear shall you the Siva-State vision.
2491 As Tatvamasi, Practise Yoga
Thus altering the expression
Into Tatvamasi with Siva (Tat) first
Fix your thought on bliss of Svarupa;
And gently hold to your heart
The Pranava mantra (that is "Aum");
When Jiva thus practises Yoga
He realizes Truth
And stands, in Grace accepted.
2500 Beyond Thought and Form is Truth
For them who realized Truth
That Thought is Form and Form is Thought,
For them is no descent, no ascent, no Void.
Neither Thought, nor Form.
2501 Transcend All Experiences, Caused and Causal
When Caused Experiences Seven of Jiva
And Causal Experiences Seven of Para
Leave,
Cause and Caused Difference vanish,
Then Jiva becomes Siva for sure.
Without His Grace abounding,
Anava that makes Jiva tremble
Never, never, leaves.
2506 Seeds Four
Seed of Mukti is Knowledge of Primal One;
Seed of Bhakti is intense adoration meek;
Seed of Siddhi is Self, Siva-Para Becoming;
Seed of Sakti is State of Upasanta.
2513 Lord is Remote and Near
The black-footed Garuda bird
Across the sky passes;
The black-hued serpent in deep well dies;
Stop bragging of your greatness, O heart!
Be unto the river
That into the wavy ocean merges.
2514 Perform Tapas
If you seek your enemies (Malas) to perish,
Why fight at the Gate of Birth?
Silly heroism indeed!
If suitable the Tapas of holy ones are,
He, who all gifts gives,
Will with Celestials seat them.
2517 Adore Him in All Ways
Standing, sitting and prostrating
Well may you, the Pure One adore;
Though learned you be,
Do conquer your Senses Five,
And quick sunder contending Pasas;
Thus seek Him and know Him,
He in you one will be.
2519 Think of Him Continuously
He whom even Celestials know not,
Think of Him, in the waking dawn,
Continuous think of Him morn, noon and eventide
If thus you persevere,
You shall become the very Paraparam.
2522 God Vision in Yoga Way
I sought my Nandi within
And there I met Him;
They seek Him not within their hearts,
And so know Him not;
In yogic way I entered within
And ascended Adharas;
And eyes closed in trance
I saw His Form Divine;
And the Seven Worlds too.
2523 Vision of Lord Within
I behold the Little Mount within
In it was Divine Glory,
Abiding Jnana and nectar sweet
For them that realize Him in (love) unfaltering,
He creates the very Heaven within;
He, the Compassionate One.
2525 Siva Siddha State
They abandoned Muktis three as vain;
They dispelled enticing darkness of Pasa,
They rid themselves of Anava,
They transcended "I" and "mine" consciousness,
They in constancy remained,
They, verily, are Siva Siddhas.
2526 Siddhas Are Like Sadasiva Himself
Siddhas are those who Siva saw;
Soaked in Suddha-Asuddha,
Yet soaked are not;
Muktas are they,
And source of Mukti, too, are they;
Possessed are they of Muladhara prowess
Alike are they unto Sadasiva.
2535 The Eight-Petalled Bloom is Dear to Siva
There on the lofty top of Mount (Meru) within
Is a pond no stream feeds;
And there is a lotus bloom
From no soil mud springs;
Without that bloom,
He decks not Himself
He of matted locks.
"My Lord, My Lord"--
Thus I prayed day and night;
And He severed my fetters strong.
Think of Him constant, day and night;
He diverse stood in lands many.
2544 Grace Abounding
My inconstant thoughts
He constant made,
Clear vision gave;
He created hell and heaven
And endless births too
In Grace Abounding;
Those who these perceive not
Are in Karma's wheel forever caught.
2553 When Purity Real Begins
For them that in Yogic Way stand,
Purity in Cranium top begins;
They who are sunk in pit of lust
Will Purity's goal reach not;
Only those who have sent Muladhara Fire
Up into Central Nadi of Sushumna
Will see Purity Real;
Others cannot.
2554 Lord is Real Pure
He is crystal pure, He is fire pure,
He emanates rays of Purity;
Where His source is, they know not,
They who know the Source,
Themselves,
Crystal pure and fire pure become.
2557 Renounce Karma and Be Liberated
They know not evil fruits
Karma brings,
They choose not to find Jnana
For liberation from Karma;
"Renounce Karma and be liberated"
--This Vedic teaching they know not;
They who wallow in Karma
Will never the Rich Harvest reap.
They seek not the Holy One;
Indulging in frivolous talk, they wander;
2562 They Seek Him Not--The Witless Ones
Continuous as thread within lotus stalk
Is Param within;
Yet they seek Him not there;
But wander about everywhere;
Though the Way to reach Him shown
They see it not;
Fools are they;
They roam about,
Only evil destiny action to reach.
2565 Men of Evil Fate do not Practise Devotion
Even if men of Tapas great,
With gracious looks entreat
The men of Evil Fate
Do not holy Dharana practise
They indulge in angry speech always;
All, all, their intractable Karma,
Themselves have they to undergo.
37 VISWA-KRASAM (TOTAL ABSORPTION)
2587: Absolute Union
Even as shadow disappears with body,
Even as bubble returns into water,
Even as flame of camphor leaves traces none,
So is it when Jiva into Param unites.
2595: When Jiva Becomes Radiant
By holy instructions are impurities rid;
Jiva shines unto gold in fire purified;
Having been of impurities rid,
If Jiva constant thinks of Siva,
Then he becomes a Radiant Flame,
That has passions burnt away.
2596: Knowledge That Knows All
What avails you
If you know all,
But not the Knowledge that knows all?
When you can say,
"I am the Knowledge that knows all"
Then can you well say,
"I am God."
2602: When Lord Reveals to the Truthful
When thus He in your thoughts abides,
Meditate on Him day and night;
Then will He in cranium above appear;
And if you give up falsehood and fleshly desires,
The Lord in truth reveals to you.
In the thoughts of those,
Who have desires abnegated, is He,
2616: Jnana Way
The five senses burn you up;
They lead you to destruction's way;
Give up desires and scatter them away;
Reach to the Truth of Jnana;
That the Way to reach Lord.
2620: Realize the Truth that Jiva is Siva
That this Jiva to become Siva
They in love sought not;
That this Jiva is Siva
That truth they know not;
Knowing not this Jiva is Siva,
They diverse births take,
And into worlds several wander
When Truth they realize not.
2621: Jnanis are not for Becoming Performing Gods
The Five Gods consign Jiva to broiling miseries,
And then cooling him,
Again consign him to fresh birth;
Thus in the whirl of creation endless they them ordain;
The status of these Five Gods
The Jnanis seek not;
But within the fleshly body itself
Through the mystic thread of Sushumna
They enter into union,
One wih the Lord.
2622: Seek Nandi Within
You say, redeemed you are;
But you have not seen the Way appropriate;
Nandi merges in fragrant flower within;
Hold Him in your thoughts in vision clear,
Then have you sown the seed
Of birthlessness-to-be.
Unless He of Himself appears
In devotion of His devotees,
Who dares say,
Where that peerless Pearl is!
2627: Year for Lord
As the calf that searches,
And calls for mother-cow,
I, in yearning, sought and cried for my Lord;
He is Hidden Truth of Vedas
Who beyond heavens eternal stood;
In endearness tender,
He entered into me,
In this body fleshly.
2645: Unsheath the Sword of Jnana
Unsheath the Sword of Jnana and smite;
That instant you shall know Lord;
Unite in Him,
Who the Lord of Celestials is;
Away then shall you be
From the rabble numerous
That to desire cling.
2660: When Jiva Becomes Siva
None know where the Lord resides,
To those who seek where the Lord resides
The Lord within them resides;
When they the Lord see,
Jiva becomes Siva.
2665: Love Lord and Sever Pasas
Our Holy Nandi
Once He loves, separation Knows not;
Think of His Form
And within you He melts;
Enter into His Essence
And see Him in your heart;
For those who can do this,
The seminal Karmas slumbering die;
The Ego-Consciousness forever perishes.
2666: Lord can be Reached by Earnest Seeking
Reach you may
Our Holy One that is Truth Perfect;
Sunder Pasas strong and away cast them;
Seek Him firm and think constant within;
Reached then shall be
The Holy One that is Dharma.
2669: How Lord Enters Within
Thinking of Lord
Their inconstancy lost;
Uniting in Lord
Their existence lost;
In their thoughts
Their ego lost;
Thus he entered
Showing the Way Illumined.
That ray in the eye-brow Center is;
It is the Light within the Light Resplendent.
Only those who received His Grace
Have seen Him forever.
2674: Grace Gives Clear Vision
He made Jivas renounce
That they the Lord adore;That Light dispelling my darkness,
In me stood into oneness suffused.
He made them praise Him in words meek;
That He the Nandi His Grace confers;
No more the other Gods we adore;
Our vision is clear now;
We became the Object
For other Jivas to seek and worship.
2681: Know Light Within
Know the Light, your Form becomes Light;
Know the Hidden Form; you that Form become;
Know the Light's Form; you that Light become;
That Light within you to melt, He in love stands.
That Light dispelling my darkness,
In me stood into oneness suffused.
When the three lights Sun, Moon and Fire
Within shines by Yoga Way,
The Lord, indeed, nears you,
As one Light in your inner Light.
2694: He Who Receives Siva's Light Becomes Jivan Mukta, Rid of Mayaic Darkness
The light Effulgent that glows afar
Is the Lord that spreads His beams as unto the Sun;
When He the Maya's darkness dispells,
Jiva in this body, a Jnani-Renunciate becomes (Jivan Mukta).
2708: Letters Five Alone Can Dispel Darkness
Knowing not the greatness
Of our Lord's Letters Five,
Will they ever dispel their darkness?
Poor in spirit are they, (who think otherwise);
They will to the nether world consigned be
Surrounded by serpents of diverse species.
2717: Chant Na Ma Si Va and End Birth
Hold the letters, "Na Ma" in the tongue
Take the letters "Si Va" into your thought;
No more shall you be in existence entangled;
Your goal too shall be reached;
Ignorance will end,
And with it the whirl of births too.
2735: He Dances in Sushumna and in Jnana that Arises in Yoga
In Yoga
That unto elephant goad subdues the senses,
Is Bodha (Jnana);
There arises in rhythmic cadence
The drum-beat of Thom-Theem;
To that, Sankaran, in accord, dance
Within the central Sushumna Nadi;
When He thus dances, He enters in you,
And there abides, never to leave ever after.
2752: Dance Cosmic
There in the Holy Hall the Lord danced,
The Jivas to adore;
The dance He dances,
Is the Dance Cosmic;
It is the dance that takes you
To Truth of Siva's realm;
There verily is the limit of Mauna Jnana Bliss.
2770: Ajna Center is Astral Temple of Lord
Straight within the fore-head
Between the eye-brows
Is the astral space vast;
Peer, peer within there
The luminous Mantra (Aum) will be;
The place where they in yearning sought Him
Is the place where He in yearning is;
That verily is the Holy Temple of Chittambalam
And there did I firm sit.
2778: Rapturous Experience Flowing From Witnessing Holy Dance
At the sight of tamarind
Water in mouth wells up;
As unto it,
Are all those who witness the Holy Dance;
They shed tears of joy;
They melt in love of Lord;
In their hearts,
Ambrosial bliss of Divine Light wells up.
2779: So too: They Who Hear of It
They stagger, their sense lost,
Drunk of Sivananda Bliss;
They who still retain their senses,
Frenzied become;
Thus are they,
Who the Divine Dance witnessed,
In the Holy Arena praised by all;
Even those who hear of it
Are unto those who witness it;
-All rapture is theirs too.
2796: Dance of Bliss is Union in Siva
"Bliss Bliss," they say;
Witless are they;
None know the Dance of Bliss;
Having witnessed the Dance of Bliss,
The Jiva its separateness ends,
And in Divine Bliss unites.
2803: Sakti's Grace Dance
Sakti in the Lord
Stands as Tat-Parai;
She forges the bond between Para and Jiva;
Standing as Iccha, Jnana and Kriya
She many acts performs;
And when She, Her Grace lends
You reach Hara's loving Feet.
2808: When Siva's Light is Reached
The Light Transcendental
Is knowledge beyond knowledge;
When in it merge in silentness
In the Lights Three (within) that are mighty,
Then is Siva reached;
If His Feet there you leave not,
Long, long may you be.
2810: In Kundalini Yoga Jiva's Thought Merges in Space
As you breathe in the Yogic Way,
You reach the Inner Light,
That is the breath of worlds all;
The Damsel in the Muladhara
Then rises and upward ascends,
Spreading Her day-light brilliance,
And thus uplifted,
My thoughts in space within merged.
2811: Drink of Ambrosia in Space
Move close to Lord,
He leaves you not;
Move close to world,
He leaves you alone;
He the Supreme Lord Nandi;
Move close to the Flashing Light
Within the (mystic) astral space,
And there adore;
You may drink of Ambrosia Divine.
Follow the Way of Tapas, the holy men taught,
And enter within;
He will give you Jnana, that is pure gold;
So, Siva's Feet do seek.
2817: Know Truth of Tattva Jnana
Where Tattvas are, the Lord of Tattvas is;
Where Tattvas are not, the Lord of Tattvas is not;
When you know the truth of Tattva Jnana,
The Lord of Tattvas will there appear.
2820: Lord Himself Removed "I" and "He" Distinction
As I and He, I separate sought;
And as I thus sought,
"I and He are separate are not;"
-Thus the Lord of Primal Jnana Himself granted,
And then no more was the thought of I and He.
2821: Jnana Way is the Truth
The Jnana Way is the Nadanta Way,
The Jnana Way is the Knowledge of Self,
The Jnana Way of yoga is to center on Siva,
The Jnana Way of Silentness
Is the Veda Truth of Nadanta.
2822: Jnana is the Way to Liberation
For them who seek liberation,
Siva Jnana is the life-breath;
For them who seek liberation,
Siva God is the life-breath;
For them who seek liberation
Pranava is the center of divine union;
The Lord is the Knowledge within Knowledge,
Of those who liberation seek.
2823: Lord is the Support Unfailing
For those who can see Him
He is the light of their eyes;
For those who can see Him
He is the ambrosia of the Oceans;
Them who adore Him
The Mighty Nandi never fails;
To them alone who yearn for Him
He stands as Support unfailing.
2825: In the Seventh Void is Siva-Knowledge-Bliss
All voids as void
As all and nothing,
The three Voids below,
And the three Voids above,
Seeking them,
And knowing not what this Void is like,
In that Supreme Bliss
Is the Tat-Para Jnanananda;
Siva-Knowledge-Bliss
In that He and I one become.
