GOING HOME

Agathiyar has shown us his home. He has sent the vessel to carry us over this vast sea of samskaras. The vessel is Siddha Margam. The oars are the 5 tenets. He wants us to board the vessel and row some distance. He will take it from there. If initially we are engrossed in the task he has given making sure that we are doing it right, once we cross international borders, he asks us to sit back and take in the view. He mans the ship from there henceforth. He showers blessings in the form of rain showers as we glide over the water surface without effort. The breeze that blows across our faces has cooled the torso that is heated through the acts of performing austerities or tapas. The scent and aroma that lingers in the air bring us to a state of calmness. The sight is beyond description. The touch, his touch is soft and soothing.  His words ring out in the vastness of the ocean, loud and clear as he educates us about our journey this far. Tears of joy stream down our cheeks. We remember Ramalinga Adigal's song then.



Our memories go back in time. The many births we took flash before our eyes. We wish we could have done more. The wind that blows brings the news from our Father's kingdom. Our arrival is much anticipated and awaited by our divine parents and siblings.


We burst into ecstasy, breaking out into a song of gratitude and praise for the divine and all his mercenaries.





All our senses bow towards the divine. Every cell in us vibrates in mystical joy and ecstasy. The identity of the individual self that we carried all these while is lost in the ocean of divinity. We merge in him. We dance in him as he dances in us. The dance goes on and on. We have lost track of time. All the memories fade away. We only retain the state of bliss. We have arrived home.
