If the scientist identified Gravitational Energy, Nuclear Energy, Mechanical Energy, and Chemical Energy as all being potential in nature and Electricity, Motion, Radiant Energy, Sound, and Thermal Energy as kinetic energies, we are told of Iccha, Kriya, and Jnana Sakti or energies. Can we deduce that Iccha is the myriad of never-ending thoughts, the deep yearnings and desires, and vasanas carried from previous births that induce all these? Can we then deduce that Kriya Sakti is executed into actions that then bring upon us its equivalent responses, results, and experiences that take shape as Jnana Sakti? Is this how we are connected with the larger picture, the bigger energies?
Agathiyar says that he is the vibration that is felt when we carry out actions that go beyond the individual self as in conducting group prayers and charity. The saints and gurus have shown us easy ways to connect with the divine forces and energies which we have given a myriad of forms and names. An image or idol is for starters. The temple that houses them is energized by continuous chanting and recitation of holy mantras that connect us and tap into these energies making them potent for each of our needs. Mantras and yantras when kept with the images and idols in our homes bring on similar results too, accordingly, to the time and effort we place into the rituals. The Yagna or Yagam in the temples and its smaller versions the Homam done at homes, bring the elements of earth, water, fire, and air into a potent mixture, amplifying the results that reach over a vast area and most possibly into the surrounding space. These exceptional energies besides clearing the air around us, and healing us and nature, help awaken and intensify the dormant energies within us. Obstacles are cleared and the vital energies for our survival and continuous sustenance take a leap and hit their peak. They pierce through the network of energy channels and the chakras or powerhouses, reaping through the body and flesh riding it of toxic and poison that hinders the making of a perfect body finally bringing on a massive transformation only known to the individual and kept under wraps from the public until the divine is ready to expose him or her.
When the energy body rises into play the physical stands as an empty vessel giving in to the whims and actions of the former. No karma gets attached. In fact, the energy body helps selective candidates with their removal of karma. Numerous energies can come within and do what needs to be done, say what has to be said, or deliver messages in other forms. These energies that are all around us are tapped and used by the divine forces that come within, often switching their roles or passing the baton to another receptive person. The learned one who studies the mind will write it off as a hallucination or as a mental projection. The unlearned might see it as the act of the divine and submit to it. Those fence-sitters might either turn believers or brush them off as superstitions. The one who has himself experienced it knows that it is all the work of unseen divine energies. He realizes that he has become a tool in their hands. He follows with the rhythm. If initially, I was not keen on having me used, Lord Murugan came asking me to step aside and allow them to carry out what needs to be done. I have since given in and I go with the flow.
I recall how Supramania Swami was used by them from the stories his wife and son shared with me. Tavayogi refrained from performing Siddhis though. I guess it is part and parcel of the journey, a journey laid by them for us after we completely surrender to their will.
Bharathi sings about how all things came together after he did their will as opposed to the numerous disappointments he faced when he set out to do his things. Doing His work gave him utmost satisfaction as compared to suffering in doing his own work.
நின்னைச் சரணடைந்தேன் — கண்ணம்மா!
நின்னைச் சரணடைந்தேன்!
பொன்னை உயர்வைப் புகழை விரும்பிடும்
என்னைக் கவலைகள் தின்னத் தகாதென்று (நின்னை)
மிடிமையும் அச்சமும் மேவியென் நெஞ்சில்
குடிமை புகுந்தன, கொன்றவை போக்கென்று (நின்னை)
தன்செய லெண்ணித் தவிப்பது தீர்ந்திங்கு
நின்செயல் செய்து நிறைவுபெறும் வண்ணம் (நின்னை)
துன்ப மினியில்லை, சோர்வில்லை, தோற்பில்லை,
அன்பு நெறியில் அறங்கள் வளர்த்திட (நின்னை)
நல்லது தீயது நாமறியோம் அன்னை!
நல்லது நாட்டுக! தீமையை ஓட்டுக! (நின்னை)
