Bhakti melting flesh and bone

I just wrote this short poem, Burning in Arunachala and then opened "Talks" to see what Bhagavan has to say to me. The book opened on the following page:
22nd June, 1936 Talk 215.

Bhagavan was reading G. U. Pope’s translation of Tiruvachakam and
came across the stanzas describing the intense feeling of bhakti as
thrilling the whole frame, melting the flesh and bones, etc. He
remarked: “Manickavasagar is one of those whose body finally
resolved itself in a blazing light, without leaving a corpse behind.”
Another devotee asked how it could be.
Maharshi said the gross body is only the concrete form of the subtle
stuff - the mind. When the mind melts away and blazes forth as light,
the body is consumed in that process. Nandanar is another whose
body disappeared in blazing light.

[July 1st 1936] Bhagavan read out a stanza from Tiruvachakam which is an address to the mind, saying,
‘O humming bee [namely, mind]! Why do you take the pains of collecting tiny specks of honey from innumerable flowers? There is one from whom you can have the whole storehouse of honey by simply thinking or seeing or speaking of Him. Get within and hum to Him [hrimkara].

Do not sip the nectar,
tiny as a millet seed
found in any flower,
but speed to that mystic dancer
and hum the praise of Him, King Bee,
He who, whenever we think of Him,
whenever we behold Him,
whenever we speak of Him,
perpetually pours forth the honeyed bliss
that melts all our bones to the core.
