Tirumantirum Tantra Nine
2689: When the Lights of Siva and Shakti Blend in Jiva Light As unto the Light of Lord That in Him reposes; Is the Light of His Shakti Grace, When the three lights Sun, Moon and Fire Within shines by Yoga Way, The Lord, indeed, nears you, As one Light in your inner Light. 2690: Lord's Light and Jiva's Light Merge Within The Light within is but Jiva; The Lord too who stood within was a great Light Effulgent; Flashing as lightning in the astral sphere, That Light with Shakti's Light and Jiva's Light into one merged.2691: Dancing in the Darkness of Pasa, Siva Light Enters Ummara Shakti The Lord that is Light Effulgent, Entering the dark arena of Pasa Dances as Light in that darkness; As the Forehead-Eyed God thus dances, He as Light Effulgent in Ummara Shakti merged.

is the truth of the True Experience.
2692: Siva's Light Becomes Sakti's Light of Grace Those who thus went by the Secret Way of Yoga, Reached Sakti of dark fragrant tresses; Primal Parai She is; One with Lord of Celestial's Light She is; -The Light beyond the Pure Void; That Light of Her forever dispelled Pasa's creeping darkness. 2693: Even Skeptics Can Reach that Light if they Seek in Devotion "God there is; God there is none" Thus the men of world diverse hold; Will they who hold "Primal there is none," Ever reach Siva State? Even they who say, "We saw not God" If in devotion stand, He as Light Effulgent in them is; He the Light of Astral Sphere (Chidambaram) within.2694: He Who Receives Siva's Light Becomes Jivan Mukta, Rid of Mayaic Darkness The light Effulgent that glows afar Is the Lord that spreads His beams as unto the Sun; When He the Maya's darkness dispels, Jiva in this body, a Jnani-Renunciate becomes (Jivan Mukta). 2695: Jiva Purified by Siva's Light Unites in Him His Holy Form is of shimmering coral-hue; He wears the holy ashes pure white; He is crimson as pure gold and coral ripe; He is the Primal Lord; When I, dispelled of my darkness, Shone as coral red, He, the Dancing Lord, In me in union stood. Truly, This was my own experience also. Tirumantirum is the validation of the truth of my having realized this. From Sri-Jnaneshwari Chapter 11 verse 15. (the numbers in brackets are references to Bhagavad-Gita) Arjuna
said: 15. Lord, I see, within your body, all
gods and hosts of beings of different species, Lord Brahma seated on his
lotus seat, seers all and Nagas divine. Arjuna said: 0 Lord, glory to you! Because of
your grace ordinary people like me have been able to see your universal
form (251-255). O my Master, you did another good thing, which gave me
great joy. It is that I saw with my own eyes that you are the support of
this created world. O God just as there are forests inhabited by beasts
on the plateau of a mountain, I see on your body innumerable worlds.
Like the cluster of planets in the sky or birds' nests on a big tree,
gods and heavens are seen on your body. O Lord, I see in your body all
the gross elements as well as the creatures which are their products
(256-260). So there is also Satyaloka in your body, and is he not the
same god Brahma? If I look in the other direction, I see Kailasa with
Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati in another part of your body. Not only
this, but, O Lord, I see you also in your body. The families of Kashyapa
and other seers and the nether world along with the Nagas are also to be
seen in your universal form. Why need I say more? ' 0 Lord of the
universe, all the fourteen worlds ' seem to be portrayed on the wall in
the form of each one of your limbs and all the innumerable denizens of
these worlds are to be seen in these portraits. I am thus beholding the
fathomless glory of your being (261-265).
