Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 492
அருள்பெறிற் றுரும்புமோ ரைந்தொழில் புரியுந்
தெருளிது வெனவே செப்பிய சிவமே!
“If
It
Receives
Arul,
The
Light
Of
Divine
Compassion,
Even
A
Fragment
Of
Straw
Will
Perform
All
Five
Cosmic
Tasks
Of
Creation,
Protection,
Destruction,
Concealment,
And
Revelation,
Know
This
Definitely”
Declared
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 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.
