O Arunachala! Stupefying my mind without any one knowing it, who was it
that ravished me?

The Lord is the arch-thief of the devotee’s heart. He comes without being
seen by any. Is He not the invisible
Indweller of all beings? He knows all; and no one can know Him. He is the
knower of all knowing, seer of all seeing.
In the state of bondage the soul is under the spell of the world of
plurality. This false charm is overpowered by the
superior charm of the Lord’s grace. He comes, comes, ever comes, silently
and stealthily, in order to redeem the soul and
grant it the joy of divine union. The devotee-soul marvels at the limitless
mercy of the Lord, His unbounded solicitude for the soul.
