Siddhar Sivavakkiyar Hymns (031)

செயய்தெங்கிலே இளநீர் சேர்ந்த காரணங்கள் போல்

ஐயன்வந்து என்னுளும் புகுந்து கோயில் கொண்டனன்

ஐயன்வந்து என்னுளும் புகுந்து கோயில் கொண்டபின்

வையகத்தில் மாந்தர் முன்னம் வாய் திறப்பது இல்லையே.

—சித்தர் சிவவாக்கியர் பாடல் (031)

Like the reason behind the gathering of tender coconut water inside the coconut

Guru infused* himself into my heart and took a sacred abode in it

After Guru infused himself into my heart and took a sacred abode in it

In this world, I stopped speaking to men.

—Siddhar Sivavakkiyar Hymn (031)

* In siddhars' tradition, it is the way a Guru guides his disciple in his spiritual quest, they first infuse themselves into a disciple’s heart, from then on, they both become one entity, and they live harmoniously with one another, in certain cases, a guru might be thousand miles far away, or even worse, they will not have any physical body, yet they act and live in tune with their disciple's heart, such a strong relationship was required for attaining the highest unattainable states in a disciple’s ultimate spiritual quest.
