I have finally understood the meaning of Agathiyar and Lord Muruga asking me to keep quiet, be still, and do nothing. It was beautifully explained by Osho and I had carried it in a post back then in July of 2019, but as a reader and devotee who wrote in telling me that she could see many similarities between a previous post I wrote and her life, and when I pointed out to her that it was an old post that I had shared with her, and quipped "Look at the timing", just as she replied "The timing was right for me to only have it now...I probably would not have recognized its value before. I didn't see it before because I was still in the process of experiencing it", similarly I only could see the relationship and truth of the matter after having arrived and experiencing the moment.
Osho in "The White Lotus", Jaico Publishing House, 2004, had said it beautifully.
When people come to me and they ask, ‘How to meditate?’ I tell them, ‘There is no need to ask how to meditate, just ask how to remain unoccupied. Meditation happens spontaneously. Just ask how to remain unoccupied, that’s all. That’s the whole trick of meditation – how to remain unoccupied. Then you cannot do anything. The meditation will flower. When you are not doing anything the energy moves towards the center, it settles down towards the center. When you are doing something the energy moves out. Doing is a way of moving out. Non-doing is a way of moving in. Occupation is an escape. You can read the Bible, you can make it an occupation. There is no difference between religious occupation and secular occupation: all occupations are occupations, and they help you to cling outside your being. They are excuses to remain outside.
Now it dawns on me why Agathiyar had me bring the shutters down on all the activities that arose as a result of him bringing youths to witness and participate in the puja at my home that took on the name Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia (AVM). Now it dawns on me why he had me stop all the charity programs that we were doing and had lined up telling us that others would pick up from where we left off. Now it dawns on me why he had me send his bronze statue away to the home of another devotee and have me do nothing. It was in Osho's terms to remain unoccupied. During the years 2019 to 2022, that I remained unoccupied, the primordial energy that gave life and form to this body in 1959 and went into hibernation mode and that was activated in 2007 by the Yoga practice taught by Tavayogi, and that in running its course stagnated and pooled at one point, was released to flow again in 2022 in all its majesty to reach the ocean of bliss. As Osho said "The meditation will flower", it did flower. I felt the gentle opening of petals in the crown of my head.
Asking Agathiyar if there was any further practice that I needed to do, he replied that there was none and that the energy would do its work. Osho too says the same, "Don’t do anything – no repetition of mantra, no repetition of the name of god – just watch whatever the mind is doing. Don’t disturb it, don’t prevent it, don’t repress it; don’t do anything at all on your part. You just be a watcher, and the miracle of watching is meditation." He adds that one shall become more alert and more aware. Awakening takes place. He says that we shall delight in our own being. It is sheer delight he says.

Agathiyar in having me take notes as he dictated and read them out to those who attended my 60th wedding anniversary during the last Guru Purnima, says that,
The Siddha shall come down. When we follow their directives they shall walk with us holding our hands. This travel then shall not be that of an external but of an internal journey. Yoga is the key to this travel within. From Sariyai arriving at Kriyai, now they shall teach Yogam. The journey within shall begin. You shall witness happenings. You shall see many things. It would be puzzling to you. It would be new to you too. Continuing this internal journey, you shall arrive at each Chakra and eventually see the cosmic dance of Thillai in Sahasrara. A 1000-petaled flower will keep on opening up continuously. Arutjothi will come to reside here. Then its effulgence enters within, and just as how the Kundalini upon awakening traverses each Chakra purifying them, this effulgence brings on the shine and luminosity in them. Jothi Darisanam takes place where one sees the light or effulgence. The body takes on the same. Vibrations begin to emit within and around us and are felt by those tuned to receive and feel around us. They shall follow you. You become a Jeeva Mukta, having attained Mukti while living in the flesh. Henceforth you are no different from Agathiyan and Agathiyan is no different from you. You are me and I am you."
