WITH A NEW PERSPECTIVE COMES A NEW UNDERSTANDING

So much has been said in this blog. It took me a while now to actually comprehend, digest, and understand them all. This blog provides scientific, religious, and spiritual schooling for me too. Each time I post the writings I go back reading them countless times trying to comprehend what has been said and written. I thank the authors of the numerous books and online sites from whom I have quoted extensively many relevant passages. They helped exemplify and clarify many matters that were vague initially. I could see many similarities between the many views of the authors and that of Agathiyar too. 

I had read all three books in the series "Conversation with God" by Neale Donald Walsch many years back but it remained only a text, as every book I read then did. They did not make much sense, instead created more doubts and questioning. Today as I read Neale's CWG Book 4, "Awaken the Species" I am beginning to understand his conversation with God, having had numerous conversations with Agathiyar through his Nadi and other mediums. I could relate Neale's conversation to the numerous teeny-weeny bits of messages that Agathiyar gave us and that are posted on this blog. All that I had read earlier, all the knowledge accumulated, all the thoughts I have had, and the experiences gained from various practices given, are slowly being confirmed and endorsed through revelations by the Siddhas and through numerous writers and authors. What did not make sense some years back is becoming clear now. I understood that all the messages, statements, and sayings of Agathiyar, Ramalinga Adigal, and Tavayogi had to be injected in small doses to a moron like me over a long time to make me understand. It became clear about the numerous admissions by Agathiyar reading these same books now. All the books throw new light now. With experience and new and direct revelations, the perspective has changed over time, and everything is seen in a new light. 

Books aside, divinity has to be felt and experienced. But how many of us are receptive to it. You need to be a good receptacle to feel and tap its energy. Hence the divine has to take either a physical form and a language to express himself. I am beginning to realize that the truth is one but given out to many in many forms and languages, for expression is only possible in a physical form, that of matter. As God told Neale that we choose to be in physical form, "You are in physical form now because you choose to be" and that the physical body is taken up whenever there is a purpose, the divine too takes a form what we call an avatar to bring a mammoth change to humanity or comes onto others for a short duration to pass on his messages to an individual or a small group. Agathiyar upon preparing this vessel to receive the grace of the Divine, sent Ramalinga Adigal to aid us in bringing their energy down and within us. Their energy can traverse through us, a stone, metal, or any other matter. Some are extremely receptive and good conductors. What is required is an open mind, belief, and faith.

Agathiyar says there is no right and wrong. We shall come to determine right and wrong based on our experiences. In other words, it's all about perspectives. Our perspective of things and the world around us changes as we become knowledgeable about them and gain experiences and learn lessons. All these shall "maketh the man". As a child, we hold on to things. Later as adults, we ask ourselves, "Did we actually throw a tantrum for this?" or "Did we make a fuss over this?", since they become unimportant to us then. Similarly what we comprehend to understand and hold to be true in the spiritual circle too evolves and changes bringing a new understanding of all things spiritual. I have to admit that after 2407 posts on this blog, I too have come to see things from a different perspective, hence realize and understand them differently. So should I then say that all my previous understanding was wrong? It was right at that particular moment of space-time. I saw them that way with my limited knowledge and understanding. With time as we evolve meeting new people, experiencing and learning more, our evaluation and analysis differ, changing our understanding and acceptance or rejection of concepts, opinions, practices, and lifestyle. What is held close to our hearts is dropped for another with better understanding. What had been held to rigidly and followed will mellow or lose its hold on us with more revelations and new learnings. 

When we shift our perspective, all else changes. An electronic card viewed from its front would show the logo and name of the bank or institution; the card number; and its validity. When viewed from the rear, it shows the authorized signature, terms of usage, and a 24-hour customer service contact number. When viewed from the sides it only appears as a thin line. Similarly, our perspective of life varies from where we stand and watch. As we are elevated on the journey, our perspective too changes with new experiences, reading, and knowledge. As I stand today looking back at the continuously changing and evolving understanding of life, I cannot but totally submit in agreement to the one single word that we keep hearing and are continuously reminded of - surrender. In acceptance, we surrender. Acceptance ends all suffering. Even when faced with death, as God tells Neale that "Death is an ongoing evolutionary process", accepting death removes the fear of it. Acceptance makes us accommodate everything. Acceptance makes us humble and lose our ego. Karma erodes the moment we accept that it's all God's doing and surrender to him. Karma only has a hold as long as we believe we are in charge. By letting go a whole new set of experiences is given anew. A new dawn and an awakening then takes place.
