Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 500
அருளே நம்மிய லருளே நம்முரு
அருளே நம்வடி வாமென்ற சிவமே!
“Arul,
The
Light
Of
Divine
Compassion,
Is
My
Nature,
Form,
And
Body”
Declared
Omnibenevolent OmniLight Intelligence!
Note: In these sublime and arresting couplets, Ramalingam reports the self-revelations of OmniLight.
The Light of Divine Compassion is present in all the four levels of existence: inmost (soul), inner (mind), outer (body), and outermost (world). 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.
