VERSE 22

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.
