How to Fill Yourself with Bliss?

Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Sampandhar Dhevaram 

 

திருஞானசம்பந்தர் அருளிய தேவாரம்
தலம்    :    திருக்கருக்குடி
பண்    :    காந்தார பஞ்சமம்
மூன்றாம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

நனவிலும் கனவிலும் நாளும் தன்னொளி 
நினைவிலும் எனக்கு வந்து எய்தும் நின்மலன்
கனைகடல் வையகம் தொழு கருக்குடி
அனலெரியாடும் எம் அடிகள் காண்மினே.

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 Everyday, when awake, in dreams
and in the reminiscence as well, the Guileless, 
Who comes in Brilliance to stay with me,
is our Reverend dancing with the fire
at the Thirukarukkudi worshipped by the world
surrounded by the roaring sea; See for yourselves.

 Notes: 

1.  நனவிலும் கனவிலும் நினைவிலும் 
Thoughts of the present, future and past.
We are in one of the three thoughts - about the past,
present or the future. 

Many control the mind to focus on one of these. 
However, the great saint Gnanasambandha Murthy
reflects out his experience, which is a guidance we 
should all follow for getting to Bliss.

He says, be it the thought about the past, present 
or the future - they are the thoughts of the Brilliant
Blissful Shiva. When that Brilliant Lord is pervading all
the thoughts - who cares whether that is reminiscence,
live or dream - it is basically an experience of the Bliss
needed for the soul!

May the thought of the Blissful Lord fill all our thoughts!
