ALL IS WELL

Prapanjam is God manifested. If we are part of the Prapanjam, then we are a part of God too right? If we are part of the Prapanjam we are under its governess, right? We must come under this universal law that governs all of Prapanjam right? Then there has to be no fault in the stars, right? All is well right? We should come to terms with it and accept whatever happens, takes place, and comes by, right? We should live in tandem with it, right. We should go with the flow, right? This would be the ideal thing to do, right? But is this happening? Man driven by his intelligence wants to have an upper hand in all things. He wants control of everything. He feels safe in a controlled environment and with things under his control. But when Prapanjam leases its wrath he shudders, he breaks under its weight. But he bounces back with new ideas and wit to counter nature. It is an ongoing game between man and nature. The Siddhas stand back and watch this gameplay. If man confronts nature, the Siddhas befriend it instead. No "blood" is shed. The Siddhas used nature for their purpose, not for their individual needs, but for the good of the Prapanjam. For instance, in asking me to light the Homam, Agathiyar told me it was not to enhance my footing but for the good of the Prapanjam. Lord Shiva in asking us to carry it out amid the pandemic told us it would assist the Prapanjam in cleaning up the terror that had unfolded. 

Bharathi wrote that the breath (Uyir) that keeps the flame (Jothi) alive and blazing, "உயிர்த்தீயினி லேவளர் சோதியே" in his song titled "காற்று வெளியிடைக் கண்ணம்மா, - நின்றன் காதலை யெண்ணிக் களிக்கின்றேன்".

This is what happens when we do Vaasi practice or Pranayama. Just as a blacksmith blows air with a pair of bellows to create a hot fire, the increase in the volume of breath inhaled during the practice keeps the tava kanal or fire that is a result of austerities done and the inherent Jothi that originally is a spark to burn magnificently. This heat, flame, and Jothi would eventually envelop and consume one bringing the transformation from gross to subtle as Ramalinga Adigal achieved. 

It is a known fact that when one dies the warmth of the body too leaves, leaving the body cold. We like animals and plants need the heat and warmth of the sun to survive too. We are connected with the Prapanjam in many ways. Likewise, she lives in us too. Let those who harm her be. But we shall do our part in caring for her. Look for ways to take care of her and she shall continue to feed and nurture us. Let us adopt the ways of the Siddhas who lived and cared for closely. 

Going by Sadhu Om's songs we understand clearly that all is well. We shall then settle in peace. But truly speaking it is tough indeed to come to work towards this understanding and accept this. No wonder Sadhu Om and others have attained sainthood and we are still struggling with the trivial and unreal. 

எப்போது நீயறி வாயோ மனமே

அப்போதே சாந்தி யடைவாய்

இப்பாரி லெப்போதும் எல்லா மிறையருளால்

தப்பா தணுவளவுஞ் சரியாய் நடப்பதாக (எப்போது…)

முற்போது தர்மமென்றும் தற்போ ததர்மமென்றும்

முயன்றேசீர் திருத்திட முடியுமுன் னாலேயென்றும்

அற்பாகந் தைச்செருக்கால் அலையாம லேயடங்கி

ஆண்டவன் ஆட்சியில் அதர்மமே யில்லையென்றே (எப்போது…)

எழுந்தவுன் னெழுச்சியா லெண்ணம் செயல்சொல்லாக

இயற்றிய கர்மமெல்லாம் இறைவனை நீங்குவதே

அழுந்தி யகமூலத்தி லகந்தை யழிவதொன்றே

அரிய க்ருதக்ருத்திய ஆன்மானு பவமென்றே (எப்போது…)

இப்பாரி லெப்போதும் எல்லா மிறையருளால்

தப்பா தணுவளவுஞ் சரியாய் நடப்பதாக (எப்போது…)

When you realize, right then you shall attain peace

When you realize this, right then you shall attain peace, oh mind

That in this world everything happens ever by God’s Grace

With not a mistake down even to each atom perfectly

When you realize this, right then you shall attain peace

Imagining that then there was dharma and now there is adharma

And through your effort you can bring about a change

To not roam about with such arrogance of the puny ego

And surrender that there is no adharma in God’s dominion

When you realize this, right then you shall attain peace

Your rising up that becomes thought, word and deed

and all the karma thus created moves you away from God

To abide within the Heart source so the ego gets destroyed

Is the rarest deed worthy of pursuing, direct Self experience

When you realize, right then you shall attain peace

That in this world everything happens ever by God’s Grace

With not a mistake down even to each atom perfectly

When you realize this, right then you shall attain peace, oh mind
