A life of bliss
Urakkaththai neekki unara vallaarkku irakkavum vendaam irukkalumaame.
Thirumoolar says! “He gave divine consciousness and bliss by removing sleep.”
Vallalar says, “Longevity will increase if you eliminate sleep!”
Pathiragiriyar says, “When will I attain happiness(bliss) by sleeping without sleeping?”
Sleep itself gives us sorrow! Sleep is delusion and leads to death.Giving more preference to sleep,one gets deluded and ultimately dies! If we stay awake without sleeping, we won’t get deluded, right?
If there is no delusion and we remain conscious on divine, then death won’t approach, right? It’s a simple thing to understand! We should be without sleep and without delusion! Whoever is like this will not have death! This is what the great sages say! Don’t sleep – stay awake! Don’t be deluded – be conscious!! To be like this, surrender to a gnana guru and receive spiritual teachings and initiation! If you receive them, and if you continuously do penance, staying awake, being conscious, being aware in the eyes(thiruvadi), then you will attain wisdom by just being still and doing penance! The unparalleled spiritual practice is to be still, merging into the light of the soul without sleeping or being deluded!
The Almighty, the omnipresent, the one who shines as light in every atom, He is in the pillar and in the straw! The Lord Himself is the perfect fullness that fills everywhere without distinction! He himself is the radiant light of the universe! He shines as light within us, as our very life! That incomparable God is the life of all beings! Do not wander outside everywhere in search of the omnipresent God! The omnipresent is within us as our soul-life, isn’t he?
It is enough to look at our own soul, that is wisdom! Do not seek God outside! If you find Him within, you will see Him in the entire world! This is the greatest truth! A spiritual secret! The only way to see God within you is through your eyes! If you go inward through your eyes, you can see and attain the state of the soul! This is the true path! It is the true essence of the divine feet!
