Readers may have noticed that they were unable to access this blog in recent days. Yes, I had deactivated it after I realized that knowledge to some minds could endanger them and others, too. All gurus are trying to drive their students to instantaneously attain the end results, to seek the benefits, instead of giving them the tools to work on and patiently await the blooming in them to take place in good time. We, too, tend to hear and listen to what we want to hear. For instance, the Siddhas might have mentioned certain things, but we would have missed them until someone pointed them out to us. Even then, we might counter or interpret them differently, or brush them aside or choose to ignore them entirely. So to play it safe, I decided to deactivate the blog. I changed the reader access settings and made it accessible to custom readers only, those who were previously invited after they emailed me seeking access.
While one can be brought to Sariyai and Bakti by one's parents, brought to Kriya and before the public's eyes by one's guru, Yoga is solely the discipline of one to take up and practice alone within four walls after discipleship and learning the techniques face-to-face with one's guru. When he awakens the sleeping and dormant creative energy that resides in him, which brought on his very existence in the physical plane, to travel a quarter of the journey to Svadhistana, henceforth, the guru helps him break the bund that had retained and kept this energy pent up. The energy that escapes and begins to travel beyond brings down the walls and obstacles for it to travel further. This energy will clear the part, remove blockages, and consume the poisons, bringing the flowering to take place at the Sahasrara. Gnanam shall then surface.
Something dawned in me last night regarding the current phase that came as a transition from the earlier phases. After reaching the phase of knowing who Agathiyar was, Agathiyar had mentioned that since I knew him, the next phase was to know Sivam and the Atma. When we come to know what we are not, Maya and all its creations dissolve right before our eyes, in that instant of realization. Dropping all the sheath, he comes to realize he is Sivam. What remains then is Sivam. I realized that this is what Agathiyar had mentioned: that after knowing him, one has to know Sivam and the Atma. Although Adi Sankaracharya had revealed this truth in his songs, it took us some time to understand his verses. I had to travel the distance and learn from those experiences before I eventually arrived. Realizing this, I could not keep this cliffhanger to myself but had to share it with my dear readers. Hence, I am back with this post for the love of my readers. As for my YouTube channel, which I had done the same, let it be private for now.
