The movie Dhanusu Raasi Neyargale comes across with a wonderful message from a mother to her son.
The son who believed and carried his grandpa's words telling him that his father died because he did not carry out the remedy meted out in astrology, later becomes obsessed with astrology, seeking it out to make the right decisions and for directions. His mother finally reveals to her son that his father did not die due to that reason but rather they did not have money for the treatment. If everybody saw his death as sudden, his father knew he was dying and could not do anything about it. When the son asks why she did not reveal this earlier she tells him that if he believed in astrology only he shall be harmed whereas if he had believed that the reason his father died was because of lack of money, he would have conned or harmed many in chasing after wealth. She finally adds "that believing astrology is not wrong, but believing only in astrology is a mistake."
And so too it is with the Nadi. Many cannot seem to break away from their overindulgence and dependency on the Nadi even after coming to the path and worshiping the Siddhas for many long years on. I chose not to go back or be pulled into the discussion on Nadi and have refrained from promoting or recommending the Nadi to seekers. It is time we moved on. If I am to entertain the questions on Nadi I shall most definitely be tied down to the post and can never venture far into new pastures and territories.
Overindulgence or extreme passion traps souls we are told in the Disney movie "Soul" where "the zone, a place that souls can enter when their passions create a euphoric trance, but which can also become a trap for obsessed lost souls" (https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Soul) exists.
Moderation is the key. Buddha's middle way is the way. S.N.Kandaswamy writes in his book, "The Yoga of Siddha Avvai", Babaji's Kriya Yoga and Publications, Inc, 2004, that "It becomes apparent that the path of the Siddhas was deemed by Saint Tayumanavar to be the golden means between the two extremes of Saiva Siddhanta and Vedanta for the attainments and final liberation." He adds that "The Siddhas reconciled the apparent contradictions arising out of Jnana Kanda and Karma Kanda on the one hand, Vedanta and Siddhanta on the other."
True to the saying that when we close a door another opens, the Siddhas have turned to another means or medium to communicate their thoughts. Bhogar came to clear the air today on the mystery behind my recent adventure with Ayurveda that I had covered in past posts. He told us that we had gone to the right place at the right time and that my wife was destined to receive treatment but only once. Hence, the reason for the cancellation of the scheduled 7-day continuation of the treatment. He told us that we are to expect variations in the treatment, although it was of the same practice. Hence, it is now understandable why there was a variation in the scope of treatment between the first physician and the second. As for those who are directed to a means of treatment by the Siddhas, Bhogar asked that we have faith in it and pursue it through although apparently, we do not see visible or obvious or drastic improvement or changes. No doubt should arise regarding the efficacy of the said treatment as at times the treatment is meant to treat the other bodies besides the physical body. Hence, the reason one does not see drastic change or relief in the physical body.
