Vallalar or Swami Ramalingam is a 19th Century Tamil Siddha Master who in 1874 turned his
body into light and disappeared.
Stopping the mind is enlightenment, according to some people, or just God-realization or
whatever that one means by that, or attaining the highest intelligence. There are many,
many ways of defining it in different religions, and everyone dies at the end whether the enlightened
or the unenlightened. But Vallalar, “If you die, you have failed.” That is his idea
of what enlightenment means because for him enlightenment literally means turning the
body into light.
Ramalingam says that it is only through the Grace of God that the body can turn into light,
not otherwise.
God is infinitely merciful. Ramalingam became infinitely merciful as well. He said that
you should not even hurt a mosquito. That is the kind of love and compassion he developed
towards, even the plants. When he saw a plant without water he cried. When he saw people
hungry and not being fed and he cried.
That was the kind of compassion that he had. Siva appeared before him and gave these 2
lines, Arut Perum Jothi Arut Perum Jothi Tani Perum Karunai Arut Perum Jothi What this verse
means is “Arul” which is divine intelligence, which is omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence
can be attained by simply understanding this one little word “Arul,” A –R – U – L,
and that’s the state of consciousness. If that consciousness comes to you, then you
realize that and you become that light. This Arul is God and that Arul, Arut Perum Jothi
Arut Perum Jothi Tani Perum Karunai Arut Perum Jothi was given to Swami Ramalingam by Siva
Himself. He said this will do it
and you don’t have to worry about anything.

Ultimately you just want enlightenment which is realizing who you are; realizing who you
are is just light and that the body can turn into light. That miracle happens only when
the God of Light decides to give you that.
