அருட்சுக மொன்றே யரும்பெறற் பெருஞ்சுகம்

The

Bliss

Generated

By

Arul,

The

Light

Of

Divine

Compassion,

Is

True,

Eternal

Bliss,

The

Rest

Is

False,

Ephemeral,

Illusory,

Bliss.

This

Has

Been

Determined

By

Divine OmniLight Supreme Intelligence!

Note: The Light of Divine Compassion is present in all the four levels of existence: inmost, inner, outer, and outermost. But one must consciously realize and express it.

The Arutperunjothi Agaval is Ramalingam’s magnum opus of spiritual enlightenment poetry composed in 798 couplets in 1872. In later posts, I will offer commentaries on these verses.

Note:  The term “கருநிலை” refers to the “embryo” of the formation of stars. It is remarkable that in this couplet, composed in 1872, Ramalingam anticipates a discovery of twentieth century science by indicating that stars are formed in “embryos”. We now know that these are nebulas or interstellar clouds of dust and gas.

Note:  The phrase “யிரவியின் வளர்நிலை” (Iraviyin valar nilai) refers to the states of growth of the Sun. It is remarkable that in this couplet, composed in 1872, Ramalingam anticipates a discovery of twentieth century science by indicating that the Sun is subject to growth or expansion. This couplet also remarkably affirms that cosmic heat is increasing.
