2012 Light Body Program
Ramalingam's Experience
Part of the Light Body program is to understand and experience the concept of God. God is not simply a philosophical notion. Though he is invisible to naked eyes, you can see him with your naked eyes provided he facilitates the process. Here is Ramalingam's first-hand experience of seeing God.
You gave me the golden body
Along with the body of mantras
You made me infinite space
Put a crown on my head
And sat me in a throne
You ordained me to be God.
To create, protect, dissolve,
Kill and rebirth.
Oh lord,
I see you with physical eyes
Appearing around me.
I see you inside too.
I taste you when I eat.
You are my sweet heart
You are the elixir
Unique and infinite light
You are the dancer
In the space atoms
You have clothed yourself
With truth
Can you also
Garland yourself
With the poetry of an untruthful guy.
What happens when you see God? Here is the experience of Manikkavasakar who saw God face to face in the form of a human guru. He gave him Deeksha (initiation) through eye-contact, through placing his feet on Manikkavasakar's head and also gave him the mantra Sivayanama.
While the initiation was happening he went through a world of change in his body, mind and soul. He lost his human consciousness and was completely disoriented, but blissed out. In many parts of Tiruvacakam he talked about his experience.
He says:
Here is Siva
Not to be seen by yogis and siddhas
I see him with my eyes
Go catch him.
And shout in joy
Put flowers on his lotus feet
Circle him, mob him
Follow him, stalk him.
I can't believe that he's here
Coming on his own
Yelling at me
To come close to him
Look at his form
Like a guru of wisdom
My bliss knows no bounds
My love fills up every cell
My bones melt
My tongue, lips and teeth
Jitter and I cry.
I am tossed
By the wild waves
From the ocean
I tumble not knowing
My head or toe.
I am like a drunkard
Onlookers are afraid
They know not what happened to me
I feel as though
My body parts
Are filled with nectar.
I feel the fire of my compassionate soul
Burning me down
My sex and senses
Burnt to ashes
Arul fire dissolved
My duality.
I don't know
What to say
And what not to say
I am dead, I am dead,
Though drunk with elixir
I feel like
Ocean waves on a full moon
Every hair follicle
Is filled with the elixir.
I was hard hearted
With an animal body
Yet, you filled
My every cell
With the elixir, blissful
I don't know
What you did to me!
The elixir
Penetrates even my bones.
It's as though
I have a body
Like an elixir barrel
With limbs and breathing.
Thank you for the
Arul elixir, Thank you.
Thank you Siva.
Whom even gods
Haven't seen you.
