A promise or a simple engagement not fulfilled can lead us to take another birth. Yes. We need to come back to fulfill that promise. Not only the one who had promised, but the other party to whom the promise was made, too, is dragged along too, and has to come back to close the deal, hence, leading to the need and reason for us to be born again and again taking a cycle of births and coming in the familiar circle of family, relatives, and friends to tie up these loose ends. Therefore, we must be cautious with what we say. If we cannot commit ourselves to something, we should not make a promise. So it is with doing any task. Seek perfection and completion. Otherwise, we would have to come back to redo it.
One has to uphold honesty at all times. That would help us sail through life smoothly. The Siddhas expect us to be honest. One need not be learned in the scriptures and sacred texts, nor need one know the philosophy of life. Leading a simple, honest life is good enough. When we wanted to know Agathiyar's origin, he questioned us, asking what use this knowledge would be to us. He asks us to live the present moment wisely. That would suffice. Let us not burden ourselves with all this additional baggage. As Supramania Swami told me, one has to leave everything behind; why accumulate further? It is time we began to shed things. In feeding our senses further, there is going to be an overload, and as a friend mentioned to me earlier, after following numerous Nadi readings, he had an overdose. Social media and the net have replaced the still, peaceful, quiet, and simple life that our ancestors once had.
Though the Siddhas are beyond the grip of it, time and space matter to us and dictate us. This is the illusion or Maya that the Siddhas speak about. What appears concrete and of substance to us is otherwise, to them, for they know how to manipulate the Tattwas. They exist beyond time.
