How do you make someone recall a past or make them remember an event. We mention time and space - the moment it took place and the place. Similarly, it is with a forthcoming event. So too the Siddhas who are beyond time and space fall back to these to speak to man in his terms.
What is right and wrong? The Siddhas tell us that there is no absolute right and wrong. The rights and wrongs are in the eyes of the perceiver and changes with time and space. What is wrong now might be sanction as right and a law sometime later or what was wrong back then might be accepted now. The perception and understanding changes and keeps changing over time with newer experiences that are gained. It is true that whatever I wrote, in the beginning, and my hold on it might have changed over time with gaining the relevant experiences that break old thoughts and enlighten us further. When I read and reflect on these posts, I do see how we have grown together in our understanding of life here and its purpose. Rather than have the heavens gate open up and the heavens fall or come crashing on us, showering us with divine knowledge or Gnanam, Agathiyar had us climb the steep cliffs and rocks monitoring each move and action till we arrive at the gate to his palace. As we only appreciate what is earn through hard labor, he makes us appreciate the journey having thrown the rapids and storms onto our path.
When we begin to see the might and greatness of the Siddhas and at the same time the humbleness and the down-to-earth nature of theirs one cannot but keep it all to himself. Hence the reason to share with others arose. What better way than to go online. Although I have no ideals nor spiritual ambition to pursue, and neither have I achieved anything worth mentioning on the path to spiritual evolution, it's all these simple things in life that come my way that interest and excite me. As Dr Benjamin Carson saw the brain as a miracle, I chose to see miracles in all things, even the minute and unnoticeable happenings. So, you shall not find doctrines and means to achieve a spiritual state in these pages. We have way too many guides out there willing to take you for a ride. Instead, you shall read stories of miracles that take place in our daily life. You shall read how the Gods come down from their thrones and the Siddhas come away from Samadhi to mingle and interact with common folk like us. If the lockdown in 2020 had put a stop to visitors to my home or rather his garden Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia (AVM) it never could stop these divine visitations. They visit us till this day.
The Siddhas who are said to be Light materialized as words in the palm leaves or Nadi, guiding seekers. The Siddhas who are said to be Light materialized in statues and paintings, giving their darshan to their devotees and followers. The Siddhas who are said to be Light materialized in their devotees to communicate with their students. The Siddhas who are said to be Light materialized as light eventually in their subjects turning him or her into one too. The Siddhas do not give up until this is achieved though they might allow a break.
Imagine if you do not leave behind something worthwhile for others to take note. Imagine if you leave without leaving a meaningful and lasting legacy. Imagine if you do not even have a story to tell others. When Agathiyar asks me about Gnanam I spilled all that I knew after asking him about Gnanam some time back. As it was like a rapid fire of bullets, he could not but state that all the experience I had made me speak so much. Let's face it. We love stories. My grandchildren gather around their mother, father, me, my wife and my other daughter fetching a book and asking us to read the stories. We used to read to our daughters back then. Men past their time at coffee shops telling stories. Women share stories whenever they meet their comrades in the midst of their tight household chores. The Puranas gave us many divine stories. Folklore and many legends of the jungle were told in the past over a campfire. These stories were acted out and became plays that were staged. These stories made their way into books by travelers who wrote them. They are being made into movies and make their way into our living rooms these days.
What would life by without these stories to keep us alive and hopeful? Life would be dry and stale. I believe the stories carried in this blog has liven up some of my readers life for it surely has liven up my life. I too am trying to live up to these wonderful stories and what is said in these pages.
