There is a Malay saying "Dengar guruh di langit air tempayan dicurahkan" which means upon hearing the thunder one empties the bucket of water collected earlier (in anticipation of a downpour). But most of the time it wind blows away the clouds. I too seeing the first few drops of rain fall and the dark clouds in the sky emptied the buckets of rain water I had collected previously to wash my patio. But strong winds are blowing away the rain. We see this sad happening in the movie "Lagaan" where the whole village celebrates seeing the dark clouds gather and the first few drops of rain come down. But the wind blows it away. Nature has become so unpredictable. If I could engage with my surroundings and the vegetation earlier feeling their joy in the breeze and the caressing wind, the rays of the sun touching the skin, and the coolness of rain showers, now I can feel the joy in others and the pain too. I am continuously looking for and asking that I be given an opportunity to help another. Today after sending my daughter to the MRT station I stopped at a vegetarian restaurant to have my brunch. A family of elders and children came to share the table. I saw the 7-year-old girl bring along a drawing pad and pencil and showed her grandma something she had drawn. I told her that I could draw too and asked for the pad and pencil I drew her portrait and she was overjoyed. I asked her to give me stars and she did give me five. Her elder 8-year-old sibling began to add more stars. This little girl seeing that I had missed out drawing her pupils added them on. His father turned to me and said now she had given life to the drawing. Indeed one's soul is seen through the eyes. Coming out of Bhogar's sannadhi in Palani Tavayogi turned to look at me and there was this twinkle in his eyes. Children always look us in the eyes when speaking. Sadly we adults do not do the same. Agathiyar came to a couple and told them to face each other and look into the eyes. I guess only then can the Arrow of Love or Manmathan Ambu be drawn by the Angel of Love and pierce each other's hearts. I guess this magic was missing in this married couple.
The rain has gone away and the sun has appeared back. That is nature, very much unpredictable. Balamurugan who journeyed to Mount Kailash in 2011 was blessed to touch the face of Mount Kailash. His guide told him that he too had the opportunity to do so after traveling so many times there. Apparently, the snowfall was heavy and had covered the ravines and trenches surrounding the outcrop and made it accessible for them to move up and close to its face and stroke it.
A part of my parents and the whole ancestry lives in me. If God is the breath traversing in us he lives in me momentarily. The idea as Tavayogi mentions is to prolong his stay and make him stay longer. The one who has contained his breath in him is said to be in the state of Samadhi.
