Ramalinga's Transmutation body

The process of transmutation is dealt with in chant 5 of Arut PerunJothi Agaval. This is one of the sublimest and most esoteric parts of Ramalinga's complete works. Though other sages have described about the changes that take place when the Divine Grace descends on the human frame, very few of them have dealt with the transmutation so exhaustively as Ramalinga has done.

The skin has become tender and supple; the nervous current vibrates in pulsating mode throughout the nerves all over the body.

1451-52

All the bones have become soft and pliable; all the tendons and muscles have lost their grip becoming truly loosened.

The entire blood has condensed inside the blood vessels; the semen has become solidified into a single small ball and confined in the chest.

1465-66

The mind mellows sweetly; the intelligence becomes full of the Light of Divine Wisdom, being free of worthless thoughts and desires; the will takes delight in carring deeds out, in harmony with the mental faculties function.

1467-68

The feeling that there is nothing apart from the purified spirit in the universe goes on increasing; heart blossoms luxuriantly to contemplate the world with the divine Vision.

1469-70

The eyes of Wisdom look everywhere and find all forms as embodiments of the divine Bliss; egoism, born of senses, has faded out.

1471-72

All the 96 tatvas (essential principles of nature that veil the real condition of the soul) undergo spontaneous annihilation and are replaced by Satva, the Pure divine substance which alone prevails everywhere.

1473-74

All that are materialistic tendencies have vanished; only the longing for boundless Compassion swells up.
