Tamil saints
like Pattinattaar have danced in ecstatic experience of this divine joy and poured forth
their heart in song. Can every one, attain this state? No. To seek to attain this bliss
without maturity of heart and mind will end in mere external show. This state of yogic
bliss arises spontaneously in fullness of time. If the means to it are gone through
effectively, the result will follow as a matter of course. The early steps relate to the development of faith, to wean the mind from
becoming a prey to the deceitful senses. There is no other way than this to cleanse
oneself of sin committed. If one pursues the path of devotion, the impurities of the mind
get washed out. The purified soul of all that is auspicious. It realizes itself. Then the
surpassing joy like unto that of a child or one that is mad will dawn by the grace of God.
This is what saint Maanikkavaachagar has sung in his Acchopadikam. |
