Realising this fact our saint Maanickavaachagar prays: “Oh my Owner: I should get true love unto You".(32:3) “Oh gem-set Hill of splendid gold! Do graciously grant me unintermitting love unto You to take root in the Core of my heart and melt it. Oh my Qwner!" (5:11) “Oh king! It is love I need unto Your jewelled Feet” (5:74) “Oh beautiful eyed One! Let my love to Your Jewelled Feet unite me with You in supreme Bliss".(5:71) The saint is aware of the fact that only such of those who are His real devotees can gain His grace and that too out of His mercy. He is desirous of being counted upon as one such saint to become eligible to enjoy His Grace. So he sings and prays: “Oh my Master! Loving devotees who do not know separation from You have reached Your gracious jewelled Feet and gained a treasure of Bliss that never knows recession. I do not know the method of worshipping You. I do not know You at all. I do not know the knowledge to know You. I, the serf, seek refuge in You”24:9 “Oh unchanging, unceasing, unparting, unforgetting, undying and immeasurable Sea of Bliss! Your devotees with their hearts thawing endlessly have gained You. I a base dog who have stayed outside keep mourning. Oh my Master, I must get true love unto You. (32:6) Though the saint feels that he has no love for God he prays: f “That I am devoid of love for Him He knows and I know but everybody knows that He has made me His own” (10:13) 18
