AT PEACE WITH THE SELF

Call it God, the Almighty, the Divine, or Guardian Angels. Give it names such as Lord Shiva, Muruga, and Agathiyar. It does not matter. The truth is that this force and energy that is behind every creation and sustenance and that eventually brings an end to all life, and that veils the truth from our eyes, and showers its grace finally is forever shadowing us and sheltering us from harm's way. 

As I look back to the past and also the past lives that Agathiyar had revealed in my twilight years I come to see how the divine had taken care that I did not fall from grace into disgrace and did not harm myself or others through my actions. I now wonder how I had the courage to do those things that I did. I am ashamed of it. The consequences of my actions if had come to others' attention would have ruined me. My life would have easily taken another path or to say the truth gone down the drain if it was not for the divine monitoring it. This was besides the baggage of Karma I had brought along from my past births that set the tone for this life. Agathiyar in revealing my pasts gave me the remedies too. He later told me in my Nadi reading that I needed the former experiences too and that it was he who created the conducive environment and drove me to act. He asked that I pardon myself. How can I repay him? 

The divine was with me throughout my life. What was once an unseen hidden hand now has come before us to hear us out and give solutions, heal us at times, give us practices, and most importantly reveal the soul in us. The divine has come to reclaim its Self and bring it back with it or rather have it merge once more into its existence and the very existence. I am now his property or rather we were all his property from the very beginning but the individual Ego took claim of it. The Ego ventured to possess more and more, land, wealth, and women to add on to its treasures. It is only when the divine comes as a guru in the physical form or as the Self inherent in all of us for a handful, that the Ego is exposed and driven away or rather dropped. In dropping the Ego everything else drops on its own accord. There is now no effort needed to drop or let go. It comes naturally to us. The search ends. The seeking ends. We stand aloof from worldly affairs only giving minimal attention to things when called for. We are at peace with the Self. We are at peace with others.
