போனால் போகட்டும் போடா !

போனால் போகட்டும் போடா !

இந்த பூமியில் நிலையாய் வாழ்ந்தவர் யாரடா !

வந்தவரல்லாம் தங்கிவிட்டால் இந்த பூமியில் நமக்கே இடமேது

வாழ்க்கை என்பது வியாபாரம்

ஜனனம் என்பது வரவாகும்

மரணம் என்பது செலவாகும்

Faith

Universe consists of material & spirit. What we see & feel by our five senses is material, what we don’t see with our five senses is spirit, which is beyond time & space. Our body is a part of universe, so it also consists of material & spirit. Material body is mortal, whereas the spiritual body is immortal. If one realizes this fact & own up the spiritual body, by saying “Aham Brahmasmi”, then he has no birth & death after full conviction, it is not mere oral chanting. But this takes many births to attain this state, but every jeeva has to come this destination.

The foundation of this knowledge is faith. How does one get faith? Without faith one can never exist & progress in material & spiritual life. Let us deal with spiritual aspect.

Faith is in three forms, the first being the gross one, wherein one gets faith by experience of having achieved some material benefits by following someone. Such a person will have good faith in that person by whom he got the material benefits. The second one is from birth itself; it is a subtle one that he got it automatically. There is no reason as to how he got it; he got it just like that. He is a lucky guy since it is very difficult to get faith. Without faith one cannot progress in spiritual life. The other way of getting faith is by doing sadhanas & is in the company of spiritual personnel, one may be able to achieve this end. But it may be possible one may go without faith in this birth too. Better luck next time!

Peace

Nobody likes their mistakes to be indicated by others, so never 

indulge in that unless the person is below 18. Never do that 

especially with your spouse even if the mistake is about 

unnecessary expenditure, the peace you buy through this method is 

worth avoiding the mental disturbance.

Advitam

மரத்தில் மறைந்தது மாமத யானை

மரத்தை மறைத்தது மாமத யானை.

There is nothing other than Brahman in the whole universe. 

Super desire.

ஆசையை அறுமின், ஆசையை அறுமின்

ஈசனோடு ஆயினும் ஆசையை அறுமின்.

We are aware that desires are permitted as long as it is normal, meaning dharmic and within your means. But the above stanza says even the desire is related to God, it should be abandoned. This is confusing since it prohibits dharmic desire. 

This should be understood clearly without getting confused. This is applicable to those who have been walking in the spiritual path & are strongly interested in spiritual life. Ultimate aim of such person is to become a nirguna Brahman & he has to shed all his traits including desire. Hence this stanza.

Detach yourself !

உற்றார், உரவிநர்.

ஓடிடுவார், கூட வறார், நாம் செல்லும் நேரம்.

இதுவே உண்மை.

விழித்துக்கொண்டு உலகதின் பாசத்திலிரூன்து விடுபடுங்கள்.
