START EARLY

When Tavayogi took the stage to address the devotees at the many venues he spoke his message and in fact, the script itself was always the same and it bored me after a while. I knew because I had access to all his speeches as I was administering the websites and YouTube videos back then as a means of showing gratitude to him for taking me under his wings. I asked him why he wasn't moving to other subjects and kept repeating the same things. He replied "Are you doing what I said" implying that his audience never carried out his teachings. "It is only if you comply that I can move on to others" he added. Similarly going by the many sessions with the Siddhas at AVM, one thing is certain. If we do not start a given practice, the Siddhas are not going to move on to introduce another. They stand before him with their heads lowered when he questions if they are carrying out his directives. He sends them to learn and do it, again. There is no progress unless one begins the journey using the tools given. Only after that can the Siddhas then add fuel to his spiritual travels. The Siddhas can teach the techniques but it is we who have to delegate some of our time to it. We need discipline in seeing through the practice. We have to be consistent in our practice. We shall then see its results. They then come to reveal another practice taking us to another level. Do not venture onto the path if you are not committed to doing the askings of the Siddhas. 

As the saying goes "No venture no gain", we need to work in this area as we do in other areas of our lives too.  But man gives priority to see to his daily needs rather than his spiritual thirst and yearnings that, most of the time is none existent, or buried. When life fails him only then he looks towards the skies for a rainbow or a silver lining in the cloud. Blessed are those who start the journey early and keep up with the pace for both Tavayogi and Agathiyar say that any spiritual accomplishment has to be completed by 60. Beyond that, the body cannot contain the prevailing energies or the rush of the floodwaters.
