English translation of the Tamil Spiritual Classic by Saint Tirumular
TANTRA SEVEN - Verses 1993 – 2016 of 2121
25 JNANA-SUN
1993 Sun's Para Kalas evoluted from Bindu Through Para Nada
The Bindu expand into two Apara and Para
The Apara becomes the Para Nada
From Para Nada arises the Para Kalas
With those Kalas the Jnana Sun within dawns.
1994 In the Five Kalas Arise the Five Sound Forms
The Sound that arises
When Sun within dawns
Is emanation from Para Nada;
The Sounds Five, Vaikhari and rest
That to Para Bindu belong
Arise in Kalas Five, one in each.
1995 Sadasiva is the Finite Source of Formless and Formed Sounds
He is the Lord of Devas;
He creates the directions ten;
Of yore they hailed Him as Lord of Three;
He is the Lord of the Four too;
In them He stands as Being Central,
Thus verily, the Immortal Celestials say.
1996 Siva Dispels Darkness
He is the Truth,
Unreal He is not;
He is the Lord of the Universe;
My Father;
He is the Sun, Moon and Fire that darkness dispel;
He dispels too the darkness of Karma,
He, the Nandi Holy, to me appeared
The darkness of my low desires to dispel.
1997 Siva is the Light Resplendent
With His peerless rays
He dispelled my darkness;
And the divine fruit's honey within flowed;
Beaming with benevolent rays
As Lord of Kailas, He stood;
Within me too He stood aloft
As Light Resplendent.
1998 He is Supreme Light
His dazzling Light as Wisdom True spreads;
Unhindered, it invades worlds all;
It is the light pervasive, none can fathom;
Who does know it as the Light Supreme!
1999 The Jnana Sun is Within and Without
The Sun that rises in firmament vast
Stands within too shedding rays divine;
In directions eight he traverses constant;
Yet in them that Truth know
He stands for ever fixed within.
2000 Five Centers where the Light of Lord is
In the navel, eye and nose tip,
In the center of eyebrows, and within crown of head
In these five places, Lord resides as Light Divine;
He is the One Lord
The Devas saw as Three,
Brahma, Vishnu and Isa.
2001 Siva is Sun of Jnana
The darkness of contending Pasa,
And the Ignorance vast
These flee fast,
Before the Jnana Light of Siva,
Even as when the luminous Sun rises,
The murky darkness, before him, flees.
2002 Sivaditya is Immanent and Transcendent
In pot to pot the sun appears,
Well may you the pots close,
Yet in them you contain him not;
So, too, when Lord that poison swallowed
This body enters,
There can you contain Him not
He pervades all.
2003 Sivaditya is Space, Light and Darkness
Himself as the Three Lights (Sun, Moon and Fire) in one stands;
Himself as Brahma and Vishnu stands established;
Himself as life and body indistinguishably stands
Himself Space, Light, and Darkness too.
2004 Nine Abodes of Sivaditya
The divine Fire, Sun and Moon,
The earth, water, fire, wind and space
And the creation countless
These the abodes ancient of Siva are;
The Five Gods, (Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Mahesa, Sadasiva)
Are in the Vedas that has Angas six.
27 NATURE OF JIVA PRANA
2005 He is Para-Bindu
The One whom I in contemplation realize,
The One Param whom Vedas praise,
The Undying Light in me shines,
Him I beheld, as Divine Swan (Para Bindu).
2006 Cosmic Bindu and Micro-Cosmic Bindu Are Inseparate
Two the swans on the river bank (of life)
The two swans separation know not,
If one Jiva says he is by himself,
Then that foolish swan, Grace receives not.
28 PURUSHA*5
2007 Lord Creates Activating Saktis Jnana and Kriya
Vaikhari and rest of Sounds,
Maya and rest of Impurities,
Purusha and rest of Tattvas illusory
--All these,
Acting on Saktis, Jnana and Kriya,
The Lord True from time immemorial made.
2008 Lord is Atom-Within-Atom
The Lord is the Beginning of all,
He is the Atom-within-the-atom;
Divide an atom within the atom,
Into parts one thousand,
They who can thus divide
That atom within the atom
May well near the Lord,
He, indeed, is the Atom-within-the-atom.
2009 Seek the Jnana Way of Lord
Tiny unto the seed
Of the spreading banyan tree
Is the atom that is Jiva;
If by fire of Jnana
Your way purifies,
The dark Pasas that malign you
May well driven away be;
Seek the Divine way,
The Dancing Lord shows you.
2010 Jiva and Siva Commingling Stand
He within the atom (Jiva),
And the atom (Jiva) within Him
Commingling stand,
They know this not;
The peerless Lord pervades all
Unintermittent, in creation entire.
29 JIVA (SOUL)
2011 Size of Soul
To speak of the size of Jiva
It is like this:
Split a cow's hair soft
Into a hundred tiny parts;
And each part into a thousand parts divide;
The size of Jiva is that one of part
Of the one hundred thousand.
2012 Siva's Infinite Size
Infinite great is my Lord,
Yet within the littleness of this body
He dwells permeating;
He is the Lord Supreme
Whom the Celestials cannot know;
As much as your Tapas is
So much also is He known.
2013 Practise Yoga in Perserverence
You may not for Yoga inclined be,
But if your Guru Illumined teaches you,
You may yet accomplish it;
And so perservere
In lives several;
And seeing you thus practise,
Sivva's Form will in your thought arise.
2014 Guru Illumines You
Harassed are you
By Maya's manifestations;
But when the Guru Illumined
By His grace lights you up
Your troubles entire cease;
The Jiva illumined in Jnana
Will Turiya State reach.
30 JIVA (PASU)
2015 Jnani is the Mature Jiva
The learned cows(Jivas) may wander bellowing,
The power-giddy cows may strut about,
Their insignia displaying;
But precious is a pot's milk (Jnana),
The goodly mature cows (Jnani's) yield;
The rest are but barren cows indeed.
2016 Jivas Graze in the Backwood of Worldly Pleasures
What to do with those cows
In the backwoods of desires graze?
Take them beyond,
And lead them to Feet of Lord;
Discipline them in ways superior;
Thus manage the herd;
Until then, their thoughts turn not
From the backwoods of worldly pleasures.
