Poetical description of Samadhi

Verse 149, yoga of siddha boganathar, vol.2, T.N. Ganapathy

The talk as to how to merge will be like
The wick and ghee being absorbed by the engulfing lamp;
Like the rainwater exhausted and drunk by the sun,
Like the great bright colors absorbed by the crystal,
Like the bubble absorbed in the deep water;
This is the way of being merged and being absorbed;
O! Good man! Experience the truth
Like the sound leaving the object and lost.

Porunduvadu evvaru enru peci
Perundibam unda tiri pol ney agum
Varunduvadu varunacalam ravi undappol
Magaran angu varnam undu padigam polat
Tarunduvadu calattu adangum kumilipola
Cattambin kuduvittuk kettapola
Porunduvadum odunguvadum iduve markkam
Uttamane manattodu unnu unne

I have left off diacritical marks which show long or short vowel sounds among other things. Basically when one reads such holy verses again and again slowly, meditatively, then one can fall into the state of absorption described above. The original contains, like music, the original feelings of the Siddha, describing his experiences. Try slow repetitive reading of original and translation and see what results you get. I read this before work yesterday and got a blissful surge of energy. The c's are I believe 'ch' pronounced. I love music, verse, film, as one absorbs the felings, state of mind and with great works by geniuses this is included. Holy works should not be excluded from this, particularly deeply spiritual ones. Some verses stray into description of dos and don'ts which make us ueasy about our behavior, particularly in modern times but generally we can relate to and grow into this, just like with observing art, listening to music, watching film. To grow spiritually we need practice of yoga, meditation, etc but also guidance from masters just as in the general cultural arena we have shakespeare, beatles, etc.  Unite with the siddha as they with God and you use him as a bridge to uniting with God through his verses.
