[vallalargroups:1901] Re: Song of Cuckoo

Dear Ganesh,
 
I remember, I was given the same translation like what you said.
But you know, when a Saint like Vallalar utter a word or phrase there will always be more than ONE meaning, depending on the depth of our understanding on spiritualism (same as the Thirukural).
None of you or Sivajayakumar is wrong.

Dear All,

I thought peacock refers to light(Natarajar) and cuckoo refers to sound.

Dyanathil nammal intha situationa unara mudium.

Dear seekers of Truth,
 
Saint Vallalar in one of his reveries reflected as follows:
 

"Dance of Peacock, I saw, above the sky

Peacock has become Cuckoo; Oh Lord

Peacock has become Cuckoo"

 

 

Whether the following could be the real meaning of these lines?
 

Peacock is a male bird with the beautiful tresses and when it dances it is very colourful and charming to the eyes of the beholder. But the peahen which is a female could not because it does not have the tresses as that of its male counterpart. Whenever, one talks about the dance of peacock, it is always about the dance of the male only. It is evident from here that the sense of sight grapples with the sex of the beings as that of male and female. But in the case of cuckoo, we hear only the sound and one who hears the song cannot distinguish the sound of cuckoo as belonging to a male or a female. That means in the case of cuckoo both the male and the female are in a position to sing the song. There is no hen or cock in the cuckoo with regard to its song. Therefore, in the sound of cuckoo there is no sex. There is no discrimination as the soul is without sex. Dance of peacock is the physical state and the song of the cuckoo is the spiritual state. Vallalar sings about his experience of transition from the physical symbolized in the peacock to the spiritual symbolized in the cuckoo. The soul in physical manifestation blooms into male and male and female. But its original state is sexless. Only when a person transcends the sensation of sex, the bliss of soul belongs to him or her.

 

Let us find out the true meaning of the above lines.

I am just seeking truth which is devoid of falsity and exaggeration.

 

With regards
 
Sivajayakumar
