शिवज्ञानबोध (मेय्कण्डार - शैव सिद्धान्त का आधारभूत दार्शनिक सूत्र ग्रन्थ)

SIVAGNANA BOTHAM.
The truth is here and it is not kept concealed as is sup-
posed ; and the words have gone forth, thrice,
(1) “ ஒன்றாய்ப் பலவாய் வுயிர்க்குயிராய்,
ஆடுங்கருணைப் பரஞ்சோதி யருளைப் பெறுதற்கு அன்புநிலை,
தேடும் பருவமிது கண்டீர் சேரவாரும் சகத்தீரே.”
(2) “பொய்வந் துழலும் சமயநெறி புகுத வேண்டாம் முத்திதரும்
தெய்வ சபையைக் காண்பதற்குச் சேரவாரும் சகத்தீரே.”
(3) “அகண்டாகாரசிவ போக மெனும் பேரின்ப வெள்ளம் பொங்
கித் ததும்பிப் பூரணமாய்,
ஏகவுருவாய்க் கிடக்குதையோ, வின்புற்றிட நாமெடுத்த
தேகம் விழுமுன் புசிப்பதற்குச் சேரவாரும் சகத்தீரே.”
and let them who have ears to hear, hear.
The worst feature of modern Hinduism is pointed out to
be its idolatry; and the Rev. Gentleman would persist in
calling it the substitute for truth and not truth’s symbol. I
have discussed the pros and cons of this 'question in my
notes to the Sixth Sutra; and so much prejudice and igno-
rance prevail in regard to this question, that all that I
would crave for, is a fair and patient hearing. I refer the
reader also to an excellent Tamil book brought out by Sri la
Sri Somasundara Nayagar Avergal of Madras entitled
‘Archadipam’ in which this question is also more fully treated.
(1) O! Come Ye together from all parts of this world ! See, this is the
time for finding that condition of Love which will secure us the Arul (Grace)
of that Gracious, and Supreme Light, which is One, which is All, and which
is the Life of life.
(2) O! Come Ye together, to see the Divine Presence, which will give
Moksha ; and don’t enter the patlis of those religions which wallow in un-
truth.
(3) Oh! That Great Flood of Joy of Limitless Sivabhoga is rising
and flowing over ; and It is filling everything and yet remains One! Come
Ye together to partake of It, and obtain bliss, before ever our bodies perish !
