Each soul that takes birth in a physical body on the face of this earth comes with a mission; has the potential to become somebody; comes to lead, comes to bring change within and without; or in many cases to learn and leave to come again, as Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his role as the title character from the 1984 science fiction film The Terminator says the now-famous catchphrase "I'll be back".
With a vast number of possibilities out there, these are made known to the soul even before it begins its journey here. Only with its acceptance is the soul sent over. The time it arrives has to be carefully coordinated with the arrival of other souls to coordinate and work together on this plane. Just as there are souls whom we know waiting to receive us upon leaving this body, there are the souls already waiting to receive or interact with these souls that arrive. There are so many possibilities and probabilities out here for the soul to journey. A small move in this dynamic chain of events will cause a ripple effect or the butterfly effect on all further happenings. But amongst all these possibilities there is one that stands out prominently that the soul will identify as its path sooner or later, after having sidetracked and stepped aside for a while encountering road diversions or attracted to pleasurable things and lucrative ventures meanwhile.
As said of the slow decline of Satyam or Truth over the four Yugas leading to the present Kali Yuga, we are told that more atrocities shall take place in the future. Looking back at history, the march of the soldiers to capture and conquer cities and losing its personals while doing so; the wars we fought and the lives lost; the ethnic cleansing that took place; the slavery that people were put through and the suffering that certain communities who were targeted by others went through; etc, where there was never a moment of peace back then too, one wonders how bad could it get? Going through the major epics too, there were so much treachery, treason, ill will, and jealousy then too. Death occurred through ethnic cleansing and war, through famine and drought, through scheming and cunning scams of individuals. Following these links, we will be astonished at the number of warfare we were engaged in in the past.

I tend to believe that we have moved into a better millennium/ century/ age compared with the past. Maybe this is Satya Yuga for all I know, for we are more civilized, we are more compassionate and charitable, we don't slit each others throat, we don't conquer another's land etc. Have we ever wondered why so many saints came to preach high morals and right living then compared to now? If the saints composed kavasams or songs that act as shield or force fields shielding the self from all the dangers prevalent in their times including saving them from the dangers of wild animals till the small poisonous insects that could happen upon their dwellings in the caves or they could come across while roaming in the jungles, I would jokingly say to others that the present-day saint need not fear these no more but rather include the modern-day dangers of information technology, various scams and false deals etc.

If that was not stressful enough, we have the advent of hi-tech gadgets and its attention-grabbing software and applications that lure us and gets us hooked on it.
(Source: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318230.php)The technological and social media advances of the past decade have bred the "constant checker." A constant checker is a person who constantly, almost obsessively, checks their emails, texts, and social media accounts. Being continuously connected in this way has been linked with higher stress levels. Furthermore, as a result of technology, more constant checkers than non-constant checkers feel disconnected from their family, even when they are in the same room, and more than one third of constant checkers say that they are unlikely to meet with friends and family in person due to social media. Many studies have observed that more time spent on social media is associated with an increased risk of loneliness and depression, which poses the question: are unhappy people using social media, or does social media use affect happiness?
If in the times of past we took herbal preparations and teas to detox ourselves, we are told to take to unplug or take a digital detox these days as it is important for our mental health and vision.
What went wrong? Why did we decline? We cannot possibly pinpoint the cause. We will never know. Maybe if we were to venture into the dim and distant past we might find answers. Perhaps if we take hold of Agathiyar's hand firmly, he might lead us to these answers buried in the far reaches of the cosmos. Vashisht Vaid in his blog https://holysageagathiyar.com/ sheds some light by sharing the revelations of Agathiyar. Agathiyar addresses the souls prime duty and reason to take on a physical body.
The ‘’basic reason’’ for all human incarnation’s in a ‘’nut shell’’, is to gradually attain ‘’maximum number of spiritual experiences’’, which all such gathered experiences then dutifully prove to be ‘’extremely beneficial’’, for the vital conscious expansion of their ‘liberation desiring soul’ [mukti ichchhuk atama].
The ‘’radiant heat’’ [tejas tapah] of these ‘’spiritual experiences’’, also ‘greatly expand’ the holding sack of ‘’causal body’’ [karanam sharira], making it possible for a quick ‘release’ [mukti] of the ‘bound soul’ [bandhit atama].
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further explained to the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that for the vital performance of mandated ’righteous duties’’, which all are gracefully based upon the ‘start up universal pattern’ of ‘universal works’ [brahmanda karmas], vitally established by the separate duty ‘’five faces’’ [pancha mukhas] of ‘one’ absolute universal lord ‘Adi Param Shiva’, there are also ‘’five types of main works’’, which should be dutifully performed upon ‘daily basis, by the evolving humanity during the given term period of their incarnated lives, of which ‘’no. 1 work’’ [prathma karma] is to find out the ‘’’very reason’’’, for which they came over to exist in this ‘’human form life’’ of ‘planet earth’ [prithvi greha].
They all can ‘easily find’ out that ‘’basic reason’’ [moola karanam], by dutifully sorting through their ‘’spiritual books of evolving human societies’’, which widely exist in the shape of various ‘holy treatise’s’, widely scattered and easily available since the ancient times [pracheen kaala], all over this physical world [bhu loka] of planet earth [prithvi greha], as well as by venerably asking ‘’relevant questions’’ to their learned seers, sages, & prophets etc., to help them find out answer to this ‘’most important question.’’
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further added for the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that an incarnated human being after finding & ‘’properly figuring out’’ his ‘’reason to be’’ in this physical world [bhu loka] of planet earth, only then afterwards, should indulge in ‘any type of work’ [dainik karma] for ‘his livelihood’, which work should also ‘’’greatly advance his reason [karanam] to be’’ in this physical world [bhu loka] of planet earth.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further informed to the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that the ‘’no. 2 work’’ [dvitiya karma] for a human being, is to devoutly meditate upon the one & only unknowable universal father lord, who apart from vitally creating his ‘’numbered soul’’ [ankit atama], also gracefully provided him various ‘’quality attributes’’ [gunas], to survive & ‘’righteously perform his various duties’’ [dharma parayan kartavayas], toward the vital basis of manifested ‘matrix’ [paripancha].
The great sage Agathiyar gracefully further added for the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that since then all the ‘’human souls’’ got ‘’permanently numbered’’, for the basic reason of ‘’equal opportunity for all human vital existences’’, according to their already attained spiritual experiences, which they all dutifully attained, while gradually evolving from the ‘lower kingdoms’ [mineral, plant, animal etc.] of manifested ‘’matrix’’ [paripancha], so that they all according to their given frequency numbers, could also gracefully play out their dutiful ‘’human life roles’’, during the incarnated cycles of their ‘’reoccurring cyclic lives’’ [reincarnations], gracefully working as the ‘’different duties co-creators’’, to vitally aid all types of ‘’spiritual aspects’’, in this ongoing established evolution, and also get benefited, by properly fulfilling their ‘’five main duties’’ during their cyclic lives, in this ongoing evolution of planet earth, and get ‘’finally liberated’’ [mukta] for their ‘’further ascensions’’ in the invisible ethereal web [adrishya akasha jaal], through gradually increasing ‘’higher conscious states’’ of ‘’time & space relationships’’, till they all themselves finally achieve the two highest universal worlds ‘’tapah loka’’ [brahmanda vaikuntha loka] & ‘’satyam loka’’ [brahmanda shiv loka] of this infinite universe [brahmanda], and thus ‘’get spiritually qualified’’ to vitally carry out ‘’much higher conscious roles’’, in the unknowable & non-explainable worlds of ‘’para brahmanda’’ [outfinite universe], during their distant ‘’brilliant future’’.
As all his family relationships & all of the works related to his physical form, are still a part & parcel of this ever changing ‘’illusory matrix’’ [maya paripancha], in which ‘’illusion’’ [maya] some appears to be ‘’near & dears’’ and some as ‘enemies’, while in true reality of this universe ‘’no one’’ is a ‘’friend’’ or an ‘’enemy’’, as all such occurrences are pertaining to ‘’previous life’s’’ various ‘’actions & reactions’’ [karmas].
Always at the end of ‘’a cyclic life’’, pertaining to the incarnated life cycle of ‘’all human being’s’’ [samastha manushya], the ‘’embodied vital consciousness’’ [jeeva atama] of ‘’physical world form’’ [bhautik sharira], by forcefully leaving behind all so called ‘’life relation aspects’’ of this ‘’dense matrix’’ [bhautik paripancha], have ‘’no choice’’ but to continue their ‘’forward journey’s, once again ‘’all alone’’, to move forward in the ‘’unknown & unchartered territories’’ of ‘’higher or lower dimensional world’s’’ [urdhava & adho lokas].
Under such anxious & wondering situation’s of ‘’lonely mind’’, the ‘’only one’’ who could be ‘’truly considered’’ as their ‘’own’’, is the ‘’one’’, who is the ‘’absolute controller’’ of this ‘’grand experiment’’, which ‘’ongoing experiment’’ is widely known among all vital conscious existences as our unfathomable ‘’infinite universe’’ [brahmanda].
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further disclosed to the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that the ‘’no. 3 work’’ [tritiya karma] for a human being is to dutifully pay respects & obedience to this ‘’physical world dutiful caretaker’s’’, which all caretaker’s especially include their physical world ‘’parents & grand parents’’ [lokik pitris], who tirelessly raised them right from their incarnated birth with ‘’unselfish love’’, and also to the ‘’lunar forefather’s’’ [soma pitris], whose angelic hierarchies gracefully created their vital bodies & physical forms in their mother’s womb, from their father’s living ‘sperm’ [shukranu] and mother’s living ‘egg’ [andakosha], and also pay respect to ‘’all invisible angelic & demonic hierarchies’’ [adrishya sura evam asuras], who as integral part of their prescribed duties upon this planet earth, also dutifully support various types of life aspects, invisibly working among ‘’all incarnated human beings’’ [samastha manushya jatis], upon this physical plane world [bhu loka] of planet earth [prithvi greha].
So it is an ‘’essential work’’ for all human beings to also dutifully support the ‘’invisible co-existing angelic hierarchies’’ [deva dals], through the prescribed offerings of ‘’fire sacrifices [yajna].
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further added for the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that these fire sacrifice offerings [yajna] of various prescribed products, gracefully shared by oral & written down tradition’s, gracefully compiled by the ‘inner mind wisdom’s’ [anahatha mansa jnana –vijnana] of the great seers & sages [maha rishis, maha munis], since the ‘very ancient times’ [ati pracheen kaala] of planet earth, all of these offerings through the inherent ‘fiery heat’ support of flaming frequencies, which all are a part & parcel of the ‘material fire’ [brahma agni], vitally create changes in their embodying matter, and thus gradually release those ‘’elemental essences’’ [tatva saara], from their ‘’embodying matter’’ [bhautik padartha], to exist as the ‘’string type smoke appearance’s’’ in the ‘’atmosphere of troposphere’’ [bhu loka akasha], which ‘’elemental essence’s’’ [tatva saara] vitally nourishes & thus willfully support the life cycles of all these co-existing ‘’invisible beings & entities’’ [adrishya arupa pranis], whose vital existence is also of ‘’utmost importance’’ for their own human survival, so that they all can widely continue without ‘’undesirable mutation’s’’, in their this ‘’current form of human existence’’, upon this significant planet earth [prithvi greha] of our solar universe [aditya mandla].
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further informed to the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that the ‘’no. 4 work’’ [chatush karma] for a human being is to dutifully aid & help, the ongoing evolution of ‘’all co-existing human beings’’ upon this planet earth, as all human races widely living in their differentiated aspects of ‘sub & branch races’, upon ‘various continents’ [vibhinn khandams] of this physical world bhu loka].
They all actually got vitally separated in the ‘ancient agamic times’ [agam purana kaala], by the immense oceanic body having deep waters of the one ‘’great ocean’’ [maha sagara], upon this planet earth, and thus since then vitally living & gradually evolving in their various ‘tradition’s’ [prathas], ‘cast’s’ [jati, prajatis] & ‘creed’s’ [pranalis], upon the far away places of this planet earth, which tradition’s’ got vitally established by the spiritual contemplation’s of their exalted conscious prophets, seers & sages, & dutiful works of god conscious avatars.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further added for the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that the ‘’best way’’ to dutifully perform this no. 4 work in this physical world, is to regularly & faithfully do ‘’charitable giving’s’’ of at least 1/10th [thith] of their ‘’earned incomes’’, during the entire duration of their incarnated lives, making sure to give to ‘’’only’’’ those ‘’religious institution’s’’ [dharma sanstha], who ‘’daily feed’’ the ‘’needing humanity’’, ‘’all day freely’’ & with ‘’respectful love & care’’, and also vitally provide all other types of ‘’physical & spiritual assistance’’, which should include the ‘’free shelter’’, ‘’clothing’s’’, & ‘’health aid’’ to all needy human’s, as ‘’all human beings’’ [samastha manushya jatis] of this planet earth [prithvi greha] are the ‘’evolutionary children’’ of their same ‘’one supreme establisher’’, the great preserver lord ‘’isha – vasudeva’’ [hari vishnu, venkateshvara].
The donations given to other religious institutions, who do not utilize in ‘’freely feeding the needed humanity’’ on a ‘’daily basis’’ may get ‘’stagnated’’ to ‘’germinate true aspects of spirituality’’, and get foolishly used in other wrongful purposes of making huge materially inclined ‘’buildings & empires’’, by the ‘’material mind actions’’ of all those, who are ‘’in charge’’ of ‘’dutiful spiritual circulations’’ of these gathered funds, which can ‘’ultimately result’’ in ‘’religious wars’’, and subsequent ‘’death & destruction’’ of ‘’main stream humanity’’.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further informed to the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that the ‘’no. 5 work’’ [pancha karma] for a human being is to dutifully aid & help, the ongoing evolution of ‘’all co-existing beings & entities’’, who all vitally existing upon the lower levels of evolutionary ladder, also dutifully support the manifested ‘matrix’ [paripancha], and many of the lower kingdoms, vitally exist like the minerals having precious & semi precious crystals, who also having basic aspects of vitality, also gradually evolve by increasing in their sizes, in correspondence to the vital energies of ‘’celestial organs’’ of time & space relationships, and many of whom get gracefully embodied in various types of ‘’jewelries’’ to be prestigiously borne as ‘’specific remedies’’ by evolving human’s, and also various types of living herbs & plants of plant kingdom, especially the ‘signature plants’ with ‘’magical & supernatural powers’’, get vitally planted gracefully in their house’s & in their surrounding garden’s, and various types of working & pet animal’s of the animal kingdom.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further disclosed for the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that all such ‘’above mentioned few examples’’ of other ‘’visible kingdom’s’’ [rupa pranis], who all during their own ascending evolution’s upon this objectively manifested planet earth, finally get vitally qualified to have a human tutorship, so that they ‘all’ by being in close contact with the human race, being a part & parcel of the manifested ‘’matrix’’, can also learn about his ‘’evolutionary mind’s tonal frequencies’’, which gets vitally depicted to them through the tonal frequencies of their language sounds, and also through their vitally performed mental & physical actions – reactions, so that they ‘’all’’ can also get qualified to become a ‘’human being’’, in some ‘’distant future’’ evolutionary cycle, with the graceful attribute of an individualized mind and a ‘numbered soul’ [ankita atama].
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further added for the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that thus through this ‘no. 5 work’ of incarnated human life, every incarnated human being of this planet earth, also unknowingly becomes a ‘’teacher’’ [adhyapak] of ‘’some or many’’ members of the co-existing ‘’lower kingdom’s’’, who also being a part of the illusory matrix [maya paripancha], thus also vitally becomes a ‘vital part’ of his ‘’evolutionary life’’ upon this planet earth [prithvi greha].
Such a training from an member of the highest species upon this physical world [bhu loka], thus greatly help the vital consciousness of all lower kingdom specie’s, upon this evolutionary planet earth of our solar universe [aditya mandla], whose ‘’lower specie vital consciousness’’ till then vitally exists in a ‘’non individualized manner’’, only as a ‘’very tiny part’’ of their ‘’collective consciousness group container’’ [samahuit chetna kalsha].
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further disclosed to the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that in these 5 main works of above mentioned group, which are supposed to be vitally performed by all human beings during their incarnated lives upon this planet earth, the ‘’no. 1 work’’ is of ‘’utmost importance’’, as ‘’without properly understanding’’ the ‘’main reason’’ for his human incarnation, an evolutionary human being ‘’’cannot dutifully perform’’’ the ‘’other 4 main works’’, and when by properly understanding ‘’his reason of incarnation’’, an incarnated human being [manushya] then vitally performs all these ‘’five works’’, then he gets ‘’a spiritual award’’ of higher wisdom [rudra agni jnana – vijnana], which makes him vitally understand this ‘basic fact’ [moola tathya], that in this ‘’flux matrix’’ [chalaymaana paripancha] of ‘’physical world’’ [bhu loka], a ‘’true love’’ [satyam preeti] for any finite being or an ‘’material object’’, cannot help him in his ‘true goal’ of ‘’higher conscious ascension’s’’, so his ‘’true love’’ should only be vitally developed for the venerable grace of immortal controllers lord ‘’vasudeva ishvara’’ [venkateshvara] & ‘’rudra maheshvara’’ [dakshina murthi], the two immortal lords of the two universal immortal worlds, widely known among all exalted conscious seers & sages as the highest universal worlds of ‘’tapah loka’’ [para nirvana kshetra, vaikuntha dhaam, karam khandda], & the ‘’satyam loka’’ [para param nirvana kshetra, shiva dhaam, sachcha khandda].
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further added for the gathered seers & sages of Tamil Sangam, that when such an ‘’true understanding’’ [satyam jnana] of ‘’true love’’ [satyam preeti] gets ‘’vitally embedded’’ & ‘’firmly rooted’’ in the ‘’gradually evolving soul consciousness’’ [chetna vriddhi atama chetna], through his very tiny investment of ‘’personality consciousness’’ [jeevatama chetna], in this ”nursery school of spiritual learning’’ [adhyatamic shishu pathshala], which is also the ‘most dense physical world’ [ati bhautik sthool prakriti bhu loka], of the ‘three worlds schools’ [triloka pathshala], vitally established for ‘’spiritual learning’s’’ [adhyatamic chetna pathshalas], in the ‘segment of righteousness’ [dharam khandda], then the ‘evolutionary soul’ [chetna vriddhi atama], after gracefully gaining the desired ‘’liberation’’ [mukti], ‘’does not’’ any more ‘’desire for salvation’’ [moksha] in the next great world of enlightening wisdom [bodhi loka, maha loka, nirvana kshetra, gyaan khandda], which solar plane world of higher wisdom vitally corresponds to the ‘’universal world of intuitive wisdom’’ [brahmanda maha loka, brahmanda bodhi or nirvana loka, brahmanda gyaan khandda] in our infinite universe [brahmanda], but instead want to quickly proceed further with an undiluted aim, and ‘’non failing attitude’’, first towards the next higher world of ‘’brahma loka’’ [maha nirvana kshetra, jna loka, shramma khandda], which directly corresponds to the universal world of tree of life ‘’brahma loka’’ [brahmanda jna loka, maha nirvana kshetra, sharamma khandda], and then faithfully still proceed further towards the next higher ‘’solar world of radiant heat’’ [tapah loka, param nirvana kshetra, karam khandda], which also directly corresponds to the universal immortal world of ‘’vaikuntha loka’’ [brahmanda tapah loka, param nirvana kshetra, karam khandda], and if possible then to also gracefully attain the highest solar plane world of ‘’satyam loka’’ [shiva loka], which also directly corresponds to the universal immortal world of ‘’absolute truth’’ [brahmanda satyam loka, para param nirvana kshetra, sachcha khandda, shiva loka], where he can gracefully receive all of the ‘’needed teachings’’, about the otherwise unknowable ‘’outfinite universe’’ [para brahmanda].
