My journalist friend from Kerala who wrote in response to my intent to stop blogging is an Upaguru in some ways. Her perspective of Agathiyar whom she holds dear to her heart has given me the boost to keep writing. She wrote
"Appa could've escaped from this hell of a world many centuries before. But still, he is existing. He's giving Nadi readings! See, it hurts me to even think that he talks about all that matters of wealth, romance, papangal, etc through Nadi still. Whatever state they are in _ it is still painful. So we also have to shoulder some of the burden of his. Maybe I'm wrong.. "
She is not. Agathiyar kept to his word and the 5 tenets he gave mankind. He has come down to over level and state just so that he could show us the fourth and fifth tasks defined for man which goes as follows: to "dutifully aid and help, the ongoing evolution of all co-existing human beings" and to aid "the ongoing evolution of all co-existing beings and entities, existing upon the lower levels of the evolutionary ladder, dutifully supporting the manifested matrix or Prapanjam." (Vashisht Vaid's blog at https://holysageagathiyar.com/ )
Indeed when a youngster was so bent on reaching the state of Jothi, I told her that that was not the ultimate state one should desire. She has to come back and serve mankind in any manner for his soul to evolve too. This is what the Siddhas have been doing for ages as pointed out by my journalist friend and Agathiyar in his 5 tenets. This is why Agathiyar had Tavayogi postpone his plan to go into Samadhi after beginning his stint as a traveling mendicant in the Uthiyur hills and having traveled the length and breadth of India and finishing in the Sathuragiri hills, to set up camp and an ashram in Kallar before having him travel to Malaysia. He had to give back to society after attaining the state of Tavayogi. He was to become a guru to many others like me. He had to leave his mark behind, the mark of the Siddhas just as Zorro leaves his mark behind. Although this was not Tavayogi's wish he had to comply with Agathiyar.
My journalist friend too had a wish that she wrote: "When truth unfolds one by one we say "ah what a miracle. Another miracle etc." For me, as of now, this day is a miracle, your post, words everything is miraculous... oh I pray, let Agathiyar flow as he wishes without us hindering him."
I shall comply with her wish.
