Dear Sri Nagaraj,
Ji. Yes. Thank you so much, sir. So, it was the Leela, a Divine Leela that was enacted by the Divine between two of them, the Guru and the Shishya.
“In the same way that wax melts on encountering fire, on seeing his feet, my mind dissolved and lost its form. Like a calf finding its mother, my heart melted and rejoiced in his feet. The hairson my body stood on end. Devotion surged in me like an ocean that has seen the full moon. Through the grace of chitshakti [the power inherent in consciousness], my soul was in ecstasy.”
Sri Muruganar
Sri Muruganar’s works and compositions are one of the most authentic and reliable statements of Sri Bhagwan’s Teaching having the mysterious and unfathomable philosophical depth and metaphysical subtleties. He is the quint essence of self-surrender and His attempt to minimise the importance of His works and compositions is therefore only the typical example of His self-deprecating nature:
“Can the words uttered by the mad, the ignorant and the devout be subject to a critical analysis ?”
Sri Muruganar
The beggar came for alms at midnight.
My innocent girl, while offering something,
Had her slender wrist caught by this
Great Lord Venkata.
Is he a robber or is he a God ?
Then you and I were alone.
Both one, for ever one,
But then, like some carefree vagabond
Incapable of constant love,
You left me in the street for folk
To laugh and jeer at !
If now I took the liberty
To speak of it, you would answer straight
That it was but a dream we dreamed !
How can this woman comprehend
Your state mysterious, Ramana,
Master of maya, God above!
Look my friends, just look at him
Enjoying bliss
With that other woman, Mukti,
Abandoning me, poor me,
To grievous suffering,
Me here dying, sore lamenting!
Venkata, the King who used to fill
With nectar every pore of every bone,
The wizard who stole this slave’s heart,
Go and fetch him, honey-bees.
The above poems are the sublime depiction of the Sublime-Divine Love which is non-dual in its feeling and experience, the same Love that bound Radha with Lord Sri Krshna, in a perennial Divine Embrace.
Thank you,
Anil
