Tavayogi shared his disappointment and failure with us when he frequented Malaysia in 2016. He disclosed to us at a gathering of the AVM family that he had waited for some 7 years for someone to take up the course of the Siddhas. He stated that finally, he was happy that we did what others did not. We had Agathiyar's statue brought to homes and temples and started worship of the Siddhas in these venues. Lord Murugan some time back conveyed Tavayogi's wish to see each home turn into Agathiyar Vanam too.
So it was no surprise that I too, rather than have devotees converge in my home forever and turn it into a center, carried his desire to see Siddhas worshipped in more homes and worked towards convincing devotees to bring back the worship into their homes and to their families too, making their homes Agathiyar Vanam too just like my home. When I was disappointed that I could not bring those who frequented AVM to the fold except for a handful, Agathiyar coming during the pandemic period called on me to work on going within and brought the shutters down on AVM and all its activities. Having us engage in puja for the well-being of all of creation, and having us do charity as far as our arms could reach out, Agathiyar has us stop them and go within. He asked that I not wait for others to catch up but instead find my way or my journey shall be delayed. Tavayogi coming through a devotee told me to drop it as many are here to fulfill their lusts, desires, likes, and wants. Some time back Ma Prapanjam too hushed me to remain quiet and be at peace with me and let her take care of the others. Recently Lobama too asked me to not worry about the rest.
Now I understand why Agathiyar had expressed his sadness, and Ramalinga Adigal had expressed his disappointment too. While the pull of Maya is too strong for some to battle free, others have their own problems to battle with hence depriving them of a moment to turn this way. Maybe that was the reason the elders had the Varnasrama system in place back then namely: Brahmacharya (bachelor student, 1st stage), Grihastha (married householder, 2nd stage), Vanaprastha (way of the forest or forest road, 3rd stage), and Sannyasa (renunciation ascetic, 4th stage) where one could transit into the next stage as he ages and with the fulfillment of one's responsibility. Still, the pull and lure of Maya I believe is so strong that Lobama cautioned me to be careful that I do not fall for it.
When Yogi Ramsuratkumar replied that India needs beggars to a question as to why there were beggars, it puzzled me. The red light district is required to fulfill the desires of the clients and the wants of the sex workers. While some souls come with a purpose, others are shown their purpose along the way. Then there are others who while their time without any purpose. There are others who chase after futile things. But I guess it is all needed and comes as a package. There is balance in all things. If this is disrupted an Avatar comes along we are told to correct the imbalance. If it is disrupted beyond repair, there is then a need for the world to be wiped clean and reinstated with new souls taking habitat. I guess this would be the resurgence of Satya Yuga where all things are perfect in all ways again. The divine has made me accept everything under the sky for it all has a purpose to it as we are all connected as in a spiderweb.
Annie Besant in "Avatara-s", The Theosophical Publishing House, 2002, wrote,
"How would you learn right if you knew not wrong? How would you choose good if you knew not evil? How would you recognize the light if there were no darkness? How would you move if there were no resistance? The forces that are dark, the forces of the rakshasas, of the asuras, of all that seems to be working against Isvara, these are the forces that call out the inner strength of the self in man, by struggling with which the forces of Atma within the man are developed and without which he would remain in Pralaya forevermore. Isvara must draw out men's forces by pulling against their strength making them struggle in order to attain and so vivifying into outer manifestation the life that otherwise would remain enfolded in itself."
"In this universe, there is no evil; all is good that comes to us from Isvara but it sometimes comes in the guise of evil that by opposing it we may draw out our strength. Then we begin to understand that these forces are necessary and that they are within the plan of Isvara. There is only one will in the universe the will of Isvara and all must conform themselves to that will, all are conditioned by that will, and all must move according to that will."
