A FEW SIDDHA POEMS:

“Time was when I despised the body; but then I saw the God within. The body, I realized, is the Lord’s temple; and so I began preserving it with care infinite.”
- Tirumular

“If the physical body perishes, it is a doom to the soul and one would not attain the true knowledge firmly. So by knowing the technique of tending and nourishing the body well, I not only tended and nourished the body, but the soul too. “
- Tirumular

“Anyone can offer a green leaf for worship of God; Anyone, can offer a mouthful of grass for a cow; Anyone, can spare a morsel of food for a crow; Anyone, can offer a kind word to others.”
- Tirumular

“Oh Lord of Life. What is the use of repeating my humble desires when you know my mind? When will all the world, realizing the universal spiritual communion, enjoy eternal happiness devoid of miseries and death? When shall I, on seeing their joy, be happy?”
- Ramalinga Swamigal

”The ignorant say that love and God are two. They do not know that love itself is God. Whoever knows that love itself is God, shall rest in love, one with God.”
- Tirumular

“Oh God! The Eternal Love, just to bestow upon me the golden body, you, the universal love have merged with my heart. Allowing yourself to be infused in me, Oh Supreme Love, You with the Light of Grace have alchemized my body.”
- Ramalinga Swamigal

“O you who proclaim yourself the yogins of knowledge, who search after knowledge in books! You do not know your own hearts! There you should search for the light of knowledge!”
- Civavakkiyar

“It is not good,” it is not “bad.”
The One Thing is right in the middle.
If you say It is good – it is good.
If you say, It isn’t good, it’s evil – it is evil.
Seeking that One Good, just say The Name.”
- Civavakkiyar

“Ascend the Path of True Wisdom. Search for pure Vedanta in the Absolute Void. Forsake the way of ignorance and doubt. Reveal to your friend the Way of Bliss.”
- Katuveliccittar

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 Shiva.
- Civavakkiyar
