26. Athicayappaththu “On account of my folly I did not meditate on Your name,the sacred five letters-(Na,Ma,Ci,Va,Ya). I did not associate with men of gnosis nor did I desire to do good deeds. I am bent upon taking birth on this earth and dying and turning into earth. We have seen such a wonder of the mighty One Who, making even me His own, joined me to the band of His saints”. (26:6) “We have seen the wonder of the combined Effulgence of pearls, sapphires, rubies, diamonds and (red) corals, my Father Who making me His own joined me to the band of His saints, me who thought this rotten hut with wall of flesh and worm-stuffed, serum leaking through roof as real and whirled round in the sea of sorrow”. (26:7) Erewhile the sparkling Effulgence of grace banished me that I no longer be in His presence and then made me enter a human body; He graciously looked at me and spoke subtle brief words of mystery. Ploughing furrows without the aid of yoke He lifted me up and after cleaning me that all the former falseness may be shed and making me His own Bliss joined me to the band of His saints. Such a wonder we have seen. (ploughing without yoke perhaps means the mysterious ease with which He redeemed him). (26:8) 61 ;
