Having taken birth and living a life, thinking that we should follow in the footsteps of others before us, we settle down thinking that getting a career and raising a family will suffice. There then comes a time when we would ponder why are we here? This question will arise when we move from Jeeva Sakiram or Normal wakefulness that is the 1st stage where one leads a mundane life without even a thought of its transient nature, to arrive at Sutha Sakiram or Perfect wakefulness that is the 1st state of the soul, where he then becomes spiritually aware of the momentary nature of life and becomes conscious of the world and external objects although he still enjoys gross things. (Source: According to Ramalinga Adigal as observed and written by Dr. C Srinivasan in his "An Introduction to the Philosophy of Ramalinga Swami", published by Ilakkia Nilayam, Tiruchi, 1968.)
So why are we here then we wonder? All the saints have spoken that taking a human birth is the rarest gift. Swami Sivananda spells out the reasons citing a sloka from the Vivekachudamani.
Three things are very difficult to obtain. Only through the grace of God the Jivas obtain them. To be born as a human being is no small privilege. It is a very precious gift given by God to the Jiva. Having got a human birth, to have an aspiration for liberation is the next difficult thing to obtain. So, if one obtains both these, one is indeed doubly blessed. But having been born as a human being, if you do not want to know, and yet even after knowing that, if you do not know the way, you are not fully blessed. Therefore, if you get the shelter of a Mahapurusha, one who has known what has to be attained and one who is in a position to show you the way, you can admit that you are thrice blessed. This unique blessing has to be remembered always. Then alone will you be careful not to waste the opportunity. When you know the real value of a thing, you take proper care of it, and not otherwise.

We came to know what has to be attained in this rare human birth recently, through a spectacular translation of Agathiyar's address to the council of wise men and sages at the Tamil Sangam by Vashisht Vaid at https://holysageagathiyar.com. His blog carry among other revelations, Agathiyar's explanation of the souls prime duty and the reason to take on a physical body. Although I have shared them in several earlier posts of mine, the need is there to go back and revisit the 5 tenets given to men by the divine to carry out the purpose of his birth successfully.
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].
This reminds us of Agathiyar saying elsewhere the need to gain Atma Balam. Hence the reason he told me that although I had wronged in the past, it was also his doing and that I needed that experience too, that shall bring expansion of the soul. Ma and Aiya said that our experience from the lessons learned on the Siddha path will become wisdom or Jnana to others.
The young soul in Neale Donald Walsch's children's parable "The Little Soul and the Sun", adapted from his book one of three, "Conversations with God", wanted to experience the act of forgiveness and decided to come down to earth for that experience. The stage was hence set for the drama to take place where another soul he knew volunteered to come along and betray him so that the young soul could forgive him and see his wish of pardoning another fulfilled.
Annie Besant and Bhagavan Das in their "Sanatana Dharma" wrote,
The Upadhis are only brought into existence to serve the purpose of the Jivatman moved by desire to taste these worlds. The wish to experience is said to lead the Atman to form organs for receiving and transmitting to himself the experience. His wish lies at the root of each and matter obeys his impulse and obediently molds itself into a form suitable for the exercise of the life function. The jivatman is a conscious being and that consciousness seeking external experience fashions sense and sense organs for contact with the outer worlds.
We create the situation and the scenario allowing all our wishes to take shape. What we are going through is what we had asked for. We had asked for these experience and hence are enacting the role and taking on the experiences. Hence when we begin to understand that everything comes to take its respective form and place according to the wishes of the souls and the divine law of nature (God), we can settle down and accept all that is seen.
So should we let it be as it is and not interfere? We borrow God's answers to this question that was put to him by Neale Donald Walsch in his "Conversations with God, Book One", Hodder and Stoughton, 1995, too.
So should we let it be as it is and not interfere? We borrow God's answers to this question that was put to him by Neale Donald Walsch in his "Conversations with God, Book One", Hodder and Stoughton, 1995, too.
Never offer the kind of help that dis-empowers. That which dis-empowers is that which promotes or produces dependency. Never insist on offering the help you think is needed. Let the person or people in need know all that you have to give. Then listen to what they want. See what they are ready to receive. Offer the help that is wanted.
Tavayogi has this to say, give according to his nature and willingness to receive or learn.
"Leaving them alone might be the highest gift you can offer when they exhibit by their behavior that they just want to be left alone", says God.
Why is having experiences so important? Bringing oneself to spiritual practices, the Tava Kanal or as Agathiyar says, "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]."
Bringing the cosmic energy down to charge the causal body will heal all ailments in the physical body too says Ruzbeh Bharucha.
Ruzbeh mentions seven cosmic energies residing in the causal body (that is made of three elements, Param Akash Tatwa or Prime Ether, Param Vayu Tatwa or Prime Air and Param Agni Tatwa or Prime Fire), that is continuously charged by the cosmic energies in the atmosphere. Closest to the soul is the Param Akash Tatva, then Param Vayu Tatva and then the Param Agni Tatva.
The causal body drives the astral while the astral drives the gross physical body. This is how we function.
The Param Akash Tatwa or Prime Ether binds and holds and determines the health of the individual.
First, the disease attacks or gets ingrained into the causal body. That is because it’s the first layering of one’s body and also the most subtle.
Hence the need to care for this and the overall causal body is of prime concern to us and the divinity in us.
Since our causal body reacts to our desires and intentions, strengthening the Param Akash Tatwa brings calm and peace besides good health. Since sitting in silence has the tendency to bring one to be filled with more Param Akash Tatva we have all the more reason then to sit in silence. For one seeking and working towards his goals of attaining the Divine state, there is a more urgent need to focus on silence because Vairagya Vruti or disenchantment sets in as we delve deeper and deeper into a state of silence says Ruzbeh. (Source: https://www.speakingtree.in/allslides/the-three-bodies-that-encase-the-soul-633928/the-three-bodies-that-encase-the-soul-425563)
And so it happened that Lord Muruga coming as a shaman through a devotee, dealt with my causal body and my excruciating back pain with a brush of some peacock feathers. What was extraordinary was that he was simultaneously narrating what he was doing on me in the Nadi read by a Nadi Guru. It was an extraordinary and amazing encounter and one that brought immediate relieve to me too.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further explained to the gathered seers and 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, and prophets etc., to help them find out answer to this most important question.We were blessed to have Agathiyar and our physical gurus reveal our mission.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further added for the gathered seers and sages of Tamil Sangam, that an incarnated human being after finding and 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 and sages of Tamil Sangam, that the no. 2 work [dvitiya karma] for a human being, is to devoutly meditate upon the one and 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 and 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 and 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 and space relationships, till they all themselves finally achieve the two highest universal worlds tapah loka [brahmanda vaikuntha loka] and 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 and non-explainable worlds of para brahmanda [outfinite universe], during their distant brilliant future.The spiritual experiences increases higher conscious states in humans, preparing them to take on much higher conscious roles, we come to understand.
As all his family relationships and all of the works related to his physical form, are still a part and parcel of this ever changing illusory matrix [maya paripancha], in which illusion [maya] some appears to be near and dear 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 and 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 and uncharted 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].
Lord Muruga gracefully tells us he too shall be there to keep us company, even then, when he brings us into the unknown and uncharted territories of higher or lower dimensional worlds - at those moments when we stand alone, not understanding a bit of what is taking place in and around us.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further disclosed to the gathered seers and sages of Tamil Sangam, that the no. 3 work [tritiya karma] for a human being is to dutifully pay respects and obedience to this physical world dutiful caretaker’s, which all caretaker’s especially include their physical world parents and 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 and 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 and 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 and sages of Tamil Sangam, that these fire sacrifice offerings [yajna] of various prescribed products, gracefully shared by oral and written down tradition’s, gracefully compiled by the inner mind wisdom’s [anahatha mansa jnana –vijnana] of the great seers and 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 and 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 and thus willfully support the life cycles of all these co-existing invisible beings and 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 and sages of Tamil Sangam, that the no. 4 work [chatush karma] for a human being is to dutifully aid and 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 and 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 and gradually evolving in their various tradition’s [prathas], cast’s [jati, prajatis] and 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 and sages, and dutiful works of god conscious avatars.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further added for the gathered seers and sages of Tamil Sangam, that the best way to dutifully perform this no. 4 work in this physical world, is to regularly and 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 and with respectful love and care, and also vitally provide all other types of physical and spiritual assistance, which should include the free shelter, clothing’s, and 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 and 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 and destruction of main stream humanity.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further informed to the gathered seers and sages of Tamil Sangam, that the no. 5 work [pancha karma] for a human being is to dutifully aid and help, the ongoing evolution of all co-existing beings and 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 and 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 and 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 and plants of plant kingdom, especially the signature plants with magical and supernatural powers, get vitally planted gracefully in their house’s and in their surrounding garden’s, and various types of working and pet animal’s of the animal kingdom.
Besides helping sustain them, lifting their living standards and lives of fellows humans we are told to aid in uplifting all co-existing beings and entities, releasing them from being stranded and caught forever in the lower rungs of the evolutionary ladder too. When the animals, plants and mineral contribute towards the well being of the humans they move up the evolutionary ladder. Similarly we too move up when we turn towards implementing the 5 tenets for mankind that was revealed by Agathiyar at the summit of the Tamil Sangam.
Precious stones and gems are known to be beneficial in protecting and have therapeutic value as in promoting health and to a certain extend curing or controlling diseases, besides looking good on humans. We are told that some gems and stones are grounded and used in Siddha medicinal preparations called bhasmas and pishthies too. While most are obtained from the ground, coral and pearl are obtained from the sea.
Metals too benefit us medically when worn close to our skin. The Pancha loka or combination of 5 metals, gold, silver, copper, brass (a combination of zinc and copper) and iron, is used to cast statues of Gods and Goddesses. Agathiyar at ATM is made of this combination. Today his statue has evolved from a mere metal piece to a living God by the continuous act of libation and with the continuous chanting and the years of worship that went into it and more importantly by his grace and compassion.
Paramahansa Yogananda was asked by his guru to wear an astrological armlet and revealed the reason to him, "Wearing it as an armlet shall help heal your liver that will ail in a month's time, shortening the period of having to endure it from 6 months to 24 days." https://www.crystalclarity.com/yogananda/chapter-16/
The master explains the science behind it to the young Mukunda.
Astrology is the study of man’s response to planetary stimuli. The stars have no conscious benevolence or animosity; they merely send forth positive and negative radiations. Of themselves, these do not help or harm humanity, but offer a lawful channel for the outward operation of cause-effect equilibrium which each man has set into motion in the past.
The message boldly blazoned across the heavens at the moment of birth is not meant to emphasize fate the result of past good and evil but to arouse man’s will to escape from his universal thralldom. What he has done, he can undo. None other than himself was the instigator of the causes of whatever effects are now prevalent in his life. He can overcome any limitation, because he created it by his own actions in the first place, and because he has spiritual resources which are not subject to planetary pressure.
Sri Yukteswar explains that man can overcome his fate and change his destiny.
The wise man defeats his planets which is to say, his past by transferring his allegiance from the creation to the Creator. The more he realizes his unity with Spirit, the less he can be dominated by matter. The soul is ever-free; it is deathless because birth-less. It cannot be regimented by stars.
Agathiyar says that placing one's faith on the Siddhas and the divine, the planets that otherwise are dreaded for its unkind influence on us turn to become gentle on us, taking on the role of a guru.
God is harmony; the devotee who attunes himself will never perform any action amiss. His activities will be correctly and naturally timed to accord with astrological law. After deep prayer and meditation he is in touch with his divine consciousness; there is no greater power than that inward protection.
Questioning the necessity to wear the armlet, the master reveals further.
The ancient rishis discovered many ways to curtail the period of man’s exile in delusion. There are certain mechanical features in the law of karma which can be skillfully adjusted by the fingers of wisdom. He should say: ‘Lord, I trust in Thee, and know Thou canst help me, but I too will do my best to undo any wrong I have done.’ By a number of means by prayer, by will power, by yoga meditation, by consultation with saints, by use of astrological bangles the adverse effects of past wrongs can be minimized or nullified. This problem received attention from our rishis; they found helpful not only a combination of metals, but also of plants and most effective of all faultless jewels of not less than two carats.
NN Saha in his "Stellar Healing", Sagar Publications, New Delhi, 1976, says "Gems may be used as a second line of defense against any disease and side by side medicines may be taken in order to get quick relief." Dr Gouri Shanker Kapoor equates gems to vaccine in "Gems and Astrology", Ranjan Publications, New Delhi, 1994, "Gems act like vaccines in preventing diseases" and adds, "It is said that gems came from the bones of Balasur while others say it came from the bones of Sage Dadhichi."
We learn that the sun has seven colors in its rays that are essential for the life and growth of all plants, animals and humans. The sun provides the vital solar energy into our body, while the moon regulates such solar energy. The planets can raise or reduce the vibratory force of such energy. When any color is deficient we succumb to illness. By wearing a gem of the color that we are lacking, we can reverse the illness.
Daya Sarai Chocron shares in his book "Healing with Gems and Crystals", Orient Paperbacks, 1995, his story. Having become interested in the American Indian way, as it seemed to be in tune with mother earth, the elements, and sacred, he spent years in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona learning new ways of healing, which were actually ancient ways, and eventually experienced a spiritual reawakening.
I moved to the mountains after spending a lot of time visiting and living on Indian reservations. I would take long walks, feeling the power of the stones and rocks there. I believed the rocks were guardians with many messages for me, if I could but hear them. While there I met a man, a lapidary, who was also influenced by the sacredness of the Indian way. He was deep in communion with the crystals and stones. Once he organized a meditation in a mine - deep in the earth. That experience changed my life. I truly felt the incredible power of the earth in that mine. We climbed down on rope ladders, lit candles, and in the dark deep earth, we chanted, prayed, thanked, and became one. A spark had been lit within me, and I went on to learn more with the Indian medicine women. They spoke of our connection with the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms, of our union with the elements of rituals and ceremonies with crystals and stones. They told of the stones' healing and spiritual qualities, of a way of living in harmony with the cosmos. They talked of the power and strength that is given to us from the mountains the sea, the sun, the moon, the wind, the rain. the trees. One shamaness explained the importance of walking softly upon the earth so as not to disturb other kingdoms.
We are reminded of Agathiyar speaking of Siddhas dwelling under the ground to the late Jeeva Nadi Guru Hanumathdasan.
"I became fascinated with the magical qualities of color. It is in flowers and stones that color is most perfectly manifested. they are soulmates to each other. Crystals and stones are manifested forms of light and color that carried the spirit of light and nourishes my soul. Nature has given us this wonderful form of energy - light and color - to sustain our minds and our bodies in perfect health." Daya Sarai Chocron writes further.
Besides the planet, the oceans, the earth and everything we see manifested as mineral, plant, animal and human, the etheric, astral, mental and spiritual planes too depend upon the same source of light each having their own rate of vibration. Color is a mode of differentiation of the primal light according to its rate of vibration. The highest vibration that of white light is not generated by any individual but is projected or transmitted to the aura from the cosmic source.
He speaks about opening of the heart, something that Lord Muruga did recently.
Love which is an opening of the heart, is an act of faith- faith in potentiality. Loving requires courage the ability to take a risk, the readiness to even accept pain and disappointment and the willingness to grow.Now we understand why Lord Muruga asked us to submit to surrender wholly before initiating the heart chakra in us.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further disclosed for the gathered seers and 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 and 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 and 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].It is truly amazing to listen to Agathiyar point out to us our role in helping animals, plants and minerals to rise up the evolutionary ladder, to become humans like us too one day, by their close association with humans.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further added for the gathered seers and 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].Agathiyar raises each of us to the level of a teacher - to the lower kingdom species. By adopting them and teaching them we bring them out of the collective consciousness and free them.
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 species, 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].It is said that animals that work their way to the temples and made to serve, work or provide the daily needs are almost at the summit of the evolutionary ladder, taking the next birth that of a human. R.Venu Gopalan in his "The Hidden Mysteries of Kundalini", Health Harmony, 2001 lists the various animals and plants according to their merits and importance.
Both the elephant and the cow is considered having evolved highly when compared to much work needed by the ant and the frog to progress to their state. In the aquatic animals, the shark heads the list while the coral reef fish lags behind. As for birds high on the list are the high flyers the eagle, followed by the cuckoo bird and owl. Lagging behind are the chickens and pigeons. In the insect world, the honey bee and grass hoppers top while the mosquito and firefly have to evolve further. In the plant kingdom, the Tulsi steals the show followed by roses and the lotus. The cactus needs a lot of catching up to do. In the case of shrubs, the Darba and Kusa grass tops while weeds and creepers are at the mercy of humans. As for trees The Neem, Pipal, and Banyan are considered sacred and Holy while tree with thorns are considered lowest in their kingdom.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further disclosed to the gathered seers and 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] and Rudra maheshvara [dakshina murthi], the two immortal lords of the two universal immortal worlds, widely known among all exalted conscious seers and sages as the highest universal worlds of tapah loka [para nirvana kshetra, vaikuntha dhaam, karam khandda], and the satyam loka [para param nirvana kshetra, shiva dhaam, sachcha khandda].Through engaging in the above 5 tenets love and compassion for another soul begins to blossom in one's heart and extends to the realm of the Gods to the likes of Mirabai, Radha, Chaitanya, Bhairavi Brahmani, and Andal.
The great sage Agathiyar then gracefully further added for the gathered seers and sages of Tamil Sangam, that when such an true understanding [satyam jnana] of true love [satyam preeti] gets vitally embedded and 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].By the mere association with humans the souls in animals, plants and minerals can attain a higher level of consciousness and be uplifted in the evolutionary ladder says Agathiyar. For instance a precious stone buried in the ground attains a higher status once it is dug out, cut and polished and adorns the human. An animal raised by a human gains higher consciousness by its very association with its owner. A plant, when placed in the vicinity of humans; used as a herb to strengthen and heal them; or that serves to garland and decorate the Holy feet of the divine; and is sacrificed into the fire pit during yagnas conducted by humans all gain mukti too.
Just as we gain immense energy just by sitting in the presence of great saints, the beings of the lower kingdoms attain release from their current form into the higher forms in the evolutionary ladder by their association with humans. Such is the greatness of man that we can work on ourselves and also influence and help bring the beings of the lower kingdoms to evolve into higher forms. Simply amazing.
