he is in God- Civan and God-Civan transforms him and takes abode in him. Rather he has become Civan Himself or God Civan has merged in him and he is in eternal Bliss. He is said to enjoy the highest spiritual experience known as Civa thuriaatheetham beyond which God-Civan pervades as supreme Effulgence (4:195). It is worth referring, at this supreme state of spiritual experience, to one of the verses of Thiru-Vundhiaar - one of the early metaphysical treatises of Caiva Siddhandha doctrine. (There is also a decad of 20 verses (No.14) under the same title in Thiruvaachakam). In these, poems each verse ends with a suffix “Vundhee parra” which means. “push off and jump with your toes and fly about”. This term seems to be a game of dance by girls in the past. It has been translated as bounce for joy. So the verse under reference may be rendered as, “Bounce for joy saying the fact that He (of the divine) has become he (of the human) is due to His Grace: Else he cannot be (become) He; bounce for joy saying that he (without which) is he for ever! (Thiruvundhiaar -40). It is tantamount to saying that without His Grace, the devotee can never, become God or rather God out of His Grace has condescended to transform and become the devotee. There is relevance to compare, at this stage, the great utterance of the Sarma Veda - “Aham Brahmasmi” which means, I am Brahmam- God. This sacred utterance has been commented as, “I am not - He is all. There is no being but God's. This is the extreme of humility and self-abasement”. The devotee therefore, has evolved into God or become God as He has chosen to abide in him. This is nothing but God living in God-made-God. This is what this devotee has achieved and become, the eternal Bliss. 58
