For those who contemplate on “Sivaya Nama”, there is never any danger!
This is the true method (Upayam)! It is wisdom (Madhi)! So says Saint Avvaiyar!
Avvaiyar did not tell us to merely keep chanting/repeating “Sivaya Nama”!
She tells us to keep contemplating (meditating upon) it! How?
In the five-letter mantra (Panchakshara) “Na-Ma-Si-Va-Ya”, look at the subtle Panchakshara “Si-Va-Ya Na-Ma” as: Siva – Ya – Nama!
- ‘Si’ (சி) represents Fire (Agni)!
- The place where this Fire resides is the Eye!
- Keep surrendering to/revering (Nama) that!
How? Avvaiyar says that one must deduce, reflect, and realize using intellect and wisdom (Madhi): Meditate upon the light of the fire at the center of the pupil in the eye!
For the veil of our karma (Vinai) to be severed and destroyed, our inner light must expand! This indeed is the true technique (Upayam)!
