SONGS THAT ELEVATE THE SOUL

It is very much easy and simpler to attain God in this age. If one had to track into the jungles and stay in caves to get close to God in the past, God comes knocking on our doors in this age.  Tavayogi told me that he was surprised to see us arrive quite easily when he had to hit the dirt track in seeking and coming to God finally. If one had to track and find a rare individual to hear the Gospel of God in the past, God's text is available in print and can be read by each seeker now. All he needs is the grace of God to understand what was written. Agathiyar told a devotee to read the original text of Manickavasagar and he shall come to reveal its essence. These days we have audio and videos available of wonderful renditions of God's songs that can instantly elevate us to another level. Tavayogi traveling with me to a temple under construction in Bukit Rotan back then, listening to Ramalinga Adigal's Tiruarutpa playing in my car told me that merely listening to these songs shall bring one to the state of Gnanam. 

Hence there is no reason that we cannot see God and experience him. Agathiyar in asking a devotee what was holding her back from remarrying, similarly we should ask ourselves what is holding us back from reaching out to God, given all these simple means. 

I too have listened to numerous songs that have elevated my soul. I share them with readers here.
