Here is a verse that clearly shows how his extra-ordinary streaming of tears and melting of his body out of love for Him have brought about the descent of God in the saint. Much more solicitous than a mother who of her own accord mind-fully suckles her child, God Civan graciously melted his flesh, increased his inner light, squirted honey of bliss in him and trailed after him from place to place (37:9). God is pleased and he is blessed. He has made for him a body which yields ecstasy and has done away with the body which spells ruin and is not able to contain the exquisite bliss (3:118). He has fashioned a new body for him as if with a melting heart (3:176-177). The saint is overwhelmed with His gracious bliss and sings, “Oh! Blissful One! Oh! Ambrosia! You thawing my heart resemble honey and have become a drink for me to drink you in!” (5:98). Oh You Whom even the heifzenly Beings could not know! Oh You Whom even the end of the ancient Vedaas could not trace! Oh You Whom even those of the other lands could not know! Oh You Who sweetly made me Thine! Oh You Who led me to dance with this body! Oh You Who made me melt and drink You in! Oh You Who enacted the Drama of Gnosis that my desire for this worldly things might melt away! (5.95). 3.(b) How God enslaved the saint and made him. His own? In the same manner we shall trace how the saint Maanickavaachagar was enslaved by Him by the melting of his bones. Out of sheer love for Him the saint prays and his body, senses, mind and soul melt for His grace. Here we will find that ultimately God pumped sweet Ambrosia into the pores of his bones and created a divine body replacing the marrow 27
