It was only when he devotedly prayed and prayed, he was able to visualize his own self. It was only when he wept, melted and yearned, He showed His presence in his soul. Again it was only when he prayed and prayed He condescended to enter into his corporal body for transforming it into a celestial body. Here at this stage the saint sings his experience as: “Let us sing beating the trumpet of Theilenam how Civan assumed a form to the delight of the people of the world! Let us sing how He casting a benignant look that the very embryo of my birth may burn out, entered my mind and turned me into the treasure of Bliss” (11:5). “Is it not through communion with the Lord of resplenda it Thillai that He entered me melted my bones, wiped out fully the might of my past Karma, extirpated my sorrow and purified me fully?” (40:3). “Severing the bonds which caused me turbulence like the waves of the sea, He entered and filled my body and soul” (34:6). “Let us sing of Him Who merged in me as honey in body, as ambrosia in soul and as sugar candy in feeling and graciously bestowed on me the path to Him which even the heavenly beings do not know” (8:16) == “The great One who abides in Thirupperumthurai entered me and ensiaved me. After melting my bones He is in my mind, in my eyes and in me fully”(34:4). 48
