Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 55

Mystic

Consciousness-Space

Agape

Which

Fulfills

All

Aspirations

Of

My

Heart,

OmniLight Of Supreme Compassion!

Notes:

The Tamil word “அன்பு” (Anbu), in the context of this couplet, refers to Agape or divine love.

This is the last couplet in the series starting with couplet # 14 which refer to the higher spaces (Tamil: வெளி or Veli) and levels of consciousness in which the OmniLight manifests itself.

Another connotation of the Tamil expression “வெளி” (Veli), and its cognates “அம்பலம்” (Ambalam) and “சபை” (Sabhai), is the public hall, or assembly, or intersubjectively accessible space. Hence, the “public halls” or higher spaces of manifestation of OmniLight described in these couplets are accessible by qualified persons or beings in advanced states of conscious experience.

The Arutperunjothi Agaval is Ramalingam’s magnum opus of spiritual enlightenment poetry composed in 798 couplets in 1872.
