Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 494
அருட்சுக மொன்றே யரும்பெறற் பெருஞ்சுகம்
மருட்சுகம் பிறவென வகுத்தமெய்ச் சிவமே!
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.
