The impression of experience is the finest remains of karma says Mahesh Yogi. All our experiences are relative to the outside world, carries with it our judgment, opinions, etc but going within these experiences has no comparison for it is just a journey of Being. The mind that disengages with the external transcends all fields of relative experience becoming one with the Being. No longer conscious. It becomes the cosmic mind. When Abhirami Pattar went into this state he did not realize that he had replied to the king that it was a full moon when in actuality it was pitch dark. The cosmic mind spoke then. The divine came and actualize his words bringing a full moon on an amavasai night. The Yogi says this state of attributeless absolute existence lies completely beyond imagination or any intellectual conception or understanding.
The world is a playhouse or a stage and we are all dolls or puppets, driven by karma that carried out by the mind which is fueled by prana, the first expression of cosmic intelligence or cosmic mind. Hence we understand why Agathiyar who spelled out my past karmas, my deeds, and my mistakes was quick to add that it was all his doing so that I could experience those too. So it does not come as a surprise to us now when Ma, Aiya, and Agathiyar have been continuously telling us that we need to experience life. When Agathiyar exposed my past deeds he quickly added that it was to gain experience and learn lessons, consoling me that even that was his doing, removing the guilt from me. The most compassionate father takes ownership of all our faults, not wanting to see us suffer further. And he tells us to surrender all the actions that come our way henceforth to him too. The most compassionate father told me to carry out several remedies that took the form of giving donations and visiting temples and brought me to perform the homa in my home telling me these acts would help counter the karma earned from these deeds. He then came to reside as the bronze statue and later came to reside permanently in this statue. These days he speaks through his devotees. He brought us to Sariyai, Kriyai, Yogam, and recently started us the path to attain Gnanam.
Agathiyar says he is prapanjam and in it, and that the prapanjam is in him. Hence he is this Being in a sense. In Yogi's words, "Nothing is without it. Everything is it." The Yogi states that any process to end karma would result in the state of Being, reveling in the glory of Being. "The life of an individual and that of the cosmos is being created, maintained, and dissolved by the force of karma in the relative field apart from the realm of pure Being." So when karma stops, Being is. When the veil drops, Being is.
The Yogi speaks of a technique of minimizing the activity of experiencing and eventually transcending the subtlest field of activity, arriving at the state of Being. This is what Lord Muruga told Arunagiri. This is what Agathiyar is bringing us to do too. Bringing us to close all the groups he brought us to minimalize all activity in the world, and ask to go within where the activity of a different kind and more subtle shall take place, a solo journey of discovery that vary from person to person. Mahesh Yogi speaks about the techniques of minimizing the force of karma, something that Agathiyar too shares with us in a Nadi reading. The trick here the Yogi says is to engage the mind in the field of action and yet simultaneously live a life of eternal freedom in the bliss consciousness of absolute Being becoming a Jeevan Mukta, thus "bringing together the values of the absolute and relative existence."

As the Yogi says that the expansion of happiness is the purpose of creation, our true nature is bliss. Everything else is false. Everything else is a covering, a veil, a mask that of Maya. The mask is been made of past karma, desires, and ego. We begin to see the world around us through this mask. Others too tend to see only our mask. The true bliss is within hidden in the secret and sacred space deep within the hearts of men. As the wind blows and shifts the curtain to allow the ray of sunlight in, we do get a glimpse of this bliss, by the grace of the guru. The bliss that is eternal or பேரின்பம், in the field of transcendent, and everlasting, is superior to that of momentary joy in the relative field of activity or சிற்றின்பம். Hence we are asks to spend time dwelling into the state of bliss and with repeated practice, we tend to bring this state to the field of relative experience transforming ourselves and all who come in contact. When we get connected to another, be it God, nature, the grass, the green, the sunlight, the wind, a song, the music, the food, the aroma, the lover, the wife, children, or friend, anything might rekindle this feeling of bliss. The moment we meet someone dear to us, a joy of happiness kindles and blooms in us; the moment we open the window and the first breeze of the morning cold air that brings with it the prana rushes in and brushes across your face; the moment the first rays of light is seen emerging from the sun that has just come up over the mountains; the moment you touch the tiny fingers of a newborn child, etc, are truly moments of bliss.
Drop the veil and the bliss of our true nature is seen. Unfortunately, we are shrouded with this veil that we keep adding on to each day with experiences and outcomes of interaction with people and things; events, happenings, and issues. We should be shedding it rather than add on the tiers. We do not cherish bliss or happiness until we lose them. We do not cherish freedom until we are caught and jailed. Only a Prisoner of War (POW) would know the meaning of freedom. As a resident of a flat in a housing area that came under total lockdown during this time voiced out, “One very good lesson I have learned is never to take freedom for granted. This has been a real eye-opener.” We take for granted all the goodness that we enjoy now. Take it away and we come to realize how dependant we are all on it. We cherish freedom now in these trying times of lockdown that has curbed our movements. Cherish all that you have while you can. It won't be around long. Neither will you and I.
