எச்சி - ECHCHI

It is a real shocker for the panicky mothers of Hamam Soap type, to read about the concept of echchi (spit) by a Siddhar Paper Swami.

கறந்தபாலும் எச்சி                               (Drawn milk is spit of calf)

பறித்த பூவும் எச்சி                                (Harvested Flowers are spit of bees)

எடுத்த தேனும் எச்சி                            (Honey is spit)

பிறந்த பிள்ளையும் எச்சி                  (Born Child is spit of sperms)

These spits Milk, Flowers, Honey are the holy things offered to God.

Then,

படித்த வேதமும் எச்சி                          (The veda you recite is spit,

                                                                         The mantras in it are – spit.

                                                                         All pleasures are but spit.

                                                                         All seven worlds are – spit.

                                                                         Honeyed sperm is spit.

                                                                         Intellect is spit.

                                                                         Enlightment is spit

                                                                         There is nothing, indeed,

                                                                         nothing that is not spit!

Some more poems of Sivavakkiyar from "The Poets of Power."

HERE IS NO BECOMING

What are temples, tell me!

And what are sacred tanks?

O you poor slaves who worship
in temples and tanks!

Temples are in the mind.

Tanks are in the mind.

There is no Becoming,

There is not Unbecoming,
None, none whatever!

- Sivavakkiyar

ULTIMATE CAUSE

He is not Hari, He is not the Lord Siva.

He is the Ultimate Cause,

In the Beyond of Beyond,

Transcending Blackness, Redness, and Whiteness.

Immovable.

Try not to understand:

He is not big, He is not small.

He is Infinite Distance,

Immovable,

Transcending even

Supreme Quiescence.

- Sivavakkiyar

THE SUPREME

The slothful

 Sluggards

 Say: He is far, far, far

 Away!

But the Supreme It

Is spread everywhere
on Earth and in Heavens.

O you poor dumb ones,
running
stunned and suffering
through towns and fields and forests
in Search!

He is right there
within you!

Stand still
and feel Him,
feel!

  - Sivavakkiyar

SILENCE

Silence, unmoved and rising,

Silence, unmoved and sheltering,

Silence, unmoved and permanent,

Silence, unmoved and brilliant,

Silence, broad and immense like the Ganga,

Silence, unmoved and increasing,

Silence, white and shining like the Moon,

Silence, the Essence of Siva.

 - Sivavakkiyar

MELT WITH THE HEART INSIDE

In the Four Eternal Vedas,

In the study and reading of scripts,

In sacred ashes and in Holy Writs

And muttering of prayers

You will not find the Lord!

Melt with the Heart Inside
and proclaim the Truth.

Then you will join the Light-

Life without servitude.

- Sivavakkiyar

DHUMAVATI / MOODEVI DHYANAM BY AN UNCONVENTIONAL SIDHDHA – PAPER SWAMIGAL

Paper Swamigal, an alchemist who manifests Gold (Rasavatham) and attained Jeeava Samadhi at Ilayarasanendal, Tirunelveli district in Tamilnadu used to perform “Moodevi Dhyan”. He is said to be the Guru of Satchitananda Swamigal (Actor Rajnikanth’s Guru)

" In the beginning Darkness was hidden by darkness, all this was an ocean of inconscience "" declares the Rig Veda.

"In the beginning all this was the Non-Being. It was thence that Being was born "  . Taittiriya Upanishad

"Only the Non-Being was this in the beginning. That was the Being, That became ". Chandogya Upanishad

"Here in the beginning there was nought " Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.

Out of the Non-Being, Being appeared and the Being dissolves back again into the Non-Being. This primal state before creation is also the ultimate state after the creation is withdrawn; and that becomes the primal state for the next creation. This state is given the name, Moodevi.

So, Moodevi, the inconscience, the non-existence and Sri Devi who is consciousness in full play, the patent existence are considered to be the antipodes in the process of cosmic creation. Bhairavi represents the energy, ready for release in action. Moodevi represents inconscience and inactivity. Kali is the force of transformation in relation to Time ; she is the evolving principle in the creation of time and space. Moodevi is the Nonbeing before creation ; she holds in potentiality the evolving principle.

The inconscience is an inverse reproduction of the supreme superconscience ; it has the same absoluteness of being and automatic action, but in a vast involved trance; it is being lost in itself, plunged in its own abyss of infinity.

" Manifested, he grows in the lap of their crookedness and becomes high, beautiful and glorious " says the Rig Veda.' The Upanishad declares that " he who knows That as both in one, the knowledge and the Ignorance, by the Ignorance crosses beyond death and by the knowledge enjoys Immortality "s. Also, " he who knows that as both in one, the Birth and the dissolution of Birth, by the dissolution crosses beyond death and by the Birth enjoys Immortality "

Day is followed by night and the waking state is followed by sleep which resembles in many respects death and dissolution. Half of terrestrial life is spent in sleep in which happens a definite fall in general consciousness. The being sinks into subconsciousness and at times loses itself in inconscience. Whatever gain is made in the working state in the level of consciousness, it suffers dimunition in sleep and again an effort has to be made to regain what is lost in sleep and progress forward. This endless struggle is much mitigated by the grace of Moodevi. Sleep need not be a break in the process of life. Moodevi makes sleep a period of assimilation of what has been gained in the waking state, a ground for preparing what has yet to be achieved. Sleep becomes luminous and conscious and the continuity of Sadhana is maintained in sleep as well. Also, it is the common experience of Yogis that there are in Sadhana like night and day, alternations of states of darkness and depression and states of light and cheer. At times the periods are prolonged when there is no progress in Sadhana, one feels as though one has come to a dead end. One feels despondent, dejected and depressed. These periods are turned into gestation periods by the grace of Moodevi. Whatever is achieved in the course of Sadhana is consolidated during this period.
