THE PHASES

An expansion happens in us the moment we take up the spiritual path. If Sariyai and Kriyai expand our knowledge of these matters having us embark on reading about them and going on holy pilgrimages, Yogam expands this energy powerhouse through breath. Compassion towards others expands. The end of yoga is the beginning of Gnanam. In coming to Gnanam the soul expands. The aura expands. Our share of the Prapanjam expands as we gain back rightful ownership of it. Just as the streets and homes we grew up in seem smaller as we visit them as adults later the space appears tight and small around us as we begin to expand. There is a need to take in a bigger expanse of space to avoid suffocating. The senses expand. Tastebuds, hearing, sight, sense of smell and touch deepen.

The dawn of Gnanam is the state of connecting with the Prapanjam. Living in the Prapanjam feeding of her, connecting in small ways and for brief moments through Sariyai that is introduced by our parents, holding the hands of the guru later we engage further in connecting with her without middlemen through Kriyai and Yoga. We step into her world spending longer periods in her company. Having placed all efforts we come to a stop where she then comes within to drive us now. We become one with her. The journey ends there for man though the journey continues for the souls.

There are only souls. What we see is souls all around us dressed up in Tattvas that maketh this body and several others. While we only see the person and his dress, the Siddhas on the other hand only see the soul and the Tattvas. Hence they address both.
