ARRIVING

If Sariyai and Kriyai satisfied us giving us the Udal Anubhavam through the senses, taking in the fun and frolicking of festivities, and coming together in doing charity; in coming to take up the practice of Yoga it has given us the Uyir Anubhavam, in observing the breath and taking in the ambrosia. While on board we learned that the Sudha Deham or Anbu Uru is a receptacle of the experience known as Uyir Anubhavam that comes with observing the breath. Agathiyar tells us that one comes to know that the phase of Dhyanam has ended when what remains is the awareness of the breath. He becomes the breath or Uyir. He experiences Uyir Anubhavam. Tavayogi had told me that the Vaasi was God after initiating me to observe the breath, a gift from Agathiyar, in 2005 when I spent a few days as directed by Agathiyar. 

Just before Tavayogi left for India in 2005, Agathiyar had him initiate me with his touch giving me the Udal Anubhavam, after directing me to him in a Nadi reading, again another gift that changed my fate and brought on a new destiny.

The JeevAtma within us that is a sample of the more magnificent ParamAtma, and that which brought us to materialize a form and shape and come into being, awakened by the grace of the guru, shows us the way home. This is the state of Pasithiru says Agathiyar eager and yearning or rather having a voracious appetite to return to the Oneness or Yegan. 

The Pranava Deham or Arul Uru that is a receptacle of the experience that comes by his grace or Arul Anubhavam, provides the avenue for us to bring the breath to fan the tiny spark of fire or flame the Agni Jwalai, to burn brightly. This is the state of Vizhithiru says Agathiyar, being aware of the breath and becoming it.

Finally, we have arrived at the last town now, having taken the train and traveling for long hours. It is time we took a walk through the town and discover what secrets it holds. The Gnana Deham or Inba Uru that is a receptacle of the experience of being one with Siva or Siva Anubhavam spoken of by Agathiyar recently, provides the venue where the effulgence or Arutperunjothi or Sivam comes down and within us, enveloping us in totality and consuming us in its fire of love and bliss ParamAnandham. 

Now that we have arrived to know Sivam, the ultimate giver of divine knowledge or Gnanam, what then is left of this gross material body when it is consumed by the divine that giveth it in the very first place? This is to return to the state of Thanitiru or the state before our very existence says Agathiyar.

It is truly satisfying and fulfilling to have both the knowledge of and experiences from these practices, bringing on a state of Paripuranam or completeness. I guess the journey has come to an end. We have arrived.
