This series of articles were translated from the book written by our SarGuru SivaSelvaraj in praise of Saint Jesus. This is the continuation after Part -1. Please read it with attention.
Every Words in the bible were like nectars and everything in Bible is divine wisdom or Gnanam. But if we just keep saying that honey is sweeter means will it sweet? We need to taste it on our own right, only then we can know the taste. So just reading Bible again and again is not sufficient.
Search deeply in each words in the bible as if you are searching the treasure. Only then its hidden divine meaning – the truth – the Gnanam will be known. Reading Theory alone is not sufficient it should be bought in practice. So search and think and one who searches sincerely will find the truth.
Jesus pursued divinity with great effort and became a great Gnani. This is not something that is done by Jesus alone and told by Jesus alone. Even Mohammed Nabi said the same. Innumerable saints from India have told the same thing. This is not something that is particular to a religion or sect. This is universal “Sanathana Dharmam” which is common to all the people of this world. Any person in this world can follow this noble path and achieve divinity.
“Realize the greatness and Importance of your Eyes. Do Penance on the divine light of the Eyes and you can reach the Supreme Lord who is as divine Light”. In the above truth told by all saints where does the religion comes? Only divine wisdom is there. If one keep seeing difference in religion, caste, creed, race or language he can never get Gnanam or divine wisdom. Shower Love on every life. Only then the realization that we are all children of the Supreme Lord will be dawn. Only then we will get the grace of the Lord.
Only who keeps talking about religion and differentiates based on religion were people with animalistic feelings. One who have shun religion and does not see difference based on religion will become a true human. Religion should give one individual discipline, virtuousness, noble culture, and feeling of brotherhood among people and also should teach one to show kindness and compassion towards all the living beings.
In this world Jesus, Mohammed Nabi , Vallalar were noble ones who got place in the heavenly kingdom of God. Not only these three there are innumerable saints who have achieved divinity and have reached the supreme Lord. Let us offer our humbleness to all these saints.
Beware of the false prophets and religious people who were like tigers in the disguise of cow.
Do you know what Jesus has told? “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven only will enter.” See how clearly Jesus have conveyed the divine wisdom. Jesus is clearly conveying do not worship me but worship the Supreme Lord.
In the Same way lot of people who followed Vallalar worshipped him. To them Vallalar told ”By worshipping me as Lord do not lose the opportunity to realize the true Supreme Lord. Do not worship me. I am showing you the way to the Supreme Lord. The Lord of Supreme Infinite Grace Light is only one. By thinking of him and melting with love of him and by increasing the divine light of the eye by penance realize and reach that Supreme Being.” These were the words from Vallalar.
No Gnani will allow others to worship him. Every great saint has showed the way for a person to realize the Supreme Lord who is within every one as their soul. This is the truth. Were Jesus, Mohammed, Vallalar were Lords? If that is so then the statement the Lord is as divine Light will become false is it not.
Jesus, Mohammed , Vallalar and other Gnanis were noble and saintly people who have got the complete Grace of that Supreme Lord. These were the great ones who have shown us the way to the Gnanam or divine wisdom. They are all Gnana SarGurus. Islamist call Mohammed Nabi as the messenger to Allah. This is very correct. Mohammed told us about the greatness and grace of the lord and showed us the way to reach the holy feet of Supreme Lord who is also called Allah. One who shows the way to the Lord is Guru. So Mohammed is also a Guru. Jesus Christ is also a Guru. Vallalar is also a Guru. The Supreme Lord is One Only. He is as Supreme Divine Light. All these people have reached this Supreme Divine Light. We also should reach the Supreme Lord who is as Supreme Divine Light.
In all these where does the religion comes! Only Love and Universal Oneness of Soul alone is there. The only difference among these great saints were in the language they spoke. Jesus spoke in Hebrew. Mohammed Nabi preached in Arabic. Vallalar talked in Tamil. All these Saints showered love on all the people and they lived with love and preached love only. They worshipped the only Supreme Lord who is as light and did penance on the divine light and have thought us this way.
Oho People of the World, Realize the Supreme Lord is as Supreme Divine Light Only.
Jesus Said “Many will come from east and west, andrecline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. This is what is called as hell.” One who have done good deed will reap goodness and who have done bad deeds will reap only badness. This is called Karma. This is the divine truth conveyed by all the Gnanis.
Jesus told that in this world Supreme Lord has given Authority to the divine son to forgive others. In the same way Vallalar sings in praise of Lord as “by your grace even a small dust will acquire the ability to do the five great jobs (creation, maintenance, destruction, hiding and showing grace). Even if a small perk of dust can get such great power by the grace of lord then it is least wonder for the great saints like Jesus and Vallalar to have done great miracles.
The great Saint and Gnani ThiruNavukarasar gave life to a child who died after being bitten by a snake. The great Saint and Gnani ThiruGnanaSamndar bought back a girl who have died and then burned to ashes. The great Saint and Gnani Sundar bought a boy back who have died several years ago being swallowed by a crocodile. Saints like Jesus, Nabi and other Gnanis perfomed miracles beyond our imaginations by the grace of the Supreme Lord. These are all true ! true ! true! .
In these no one is greater or smaller. All these saints have received complete grace of the Supreme Lord. Know this Truth. Leave aside the religion. Always keep your mind on the Lotus feet of the Lord. Do Penance in this way. All your sufferings will go off.
In the house of Mathew Jesus ate with lot of people who were sinners. When enquired about that Jesus told “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. I desire Compassion and not sacrifice for I did not come to call the righteous but sinners”.
Why have we taken birth as human? Because of the Karma that we have accumulated in our previous births and in order to suffer the consequence of our past deeds only we have taken birth. If we did not have any sin with us we would have reached the Supreme Lord in our previous birth itself is it not? If we have taken birth means still we have some karma left with us. So we who have taken birth as humans were all sinners only. Have no doubt on this. What is the difference within us is in the amount of sin one has accumulated. It is like one has done more sin and other has done less sin. That’s it. So all in all everyone were sinners only. So oho sinners turn your mind inwards , the kingdom of Lord is very near.
Turn your mind inwards inside the divine light in your eyes which is the lamp of our body. The mind which wavers out has to be turned back inwards through the narrow hole which is of the size of needle tip and present in the center in the pupil of our eye and we need to enter through this with divine consciousness. This is Penance or Meditation. Only few people will find this way and enter through it. By humbling before a Guru we can see this.
A woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloth; for she was saying to herself, “If I only touch His garment, I will get well.” But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was made well.
Jesus visited many places and prayed to the lord and preached about the kingdom of the lord. He removed the suffering of many people. He prayed the lord to give him sufficient people to spread Gnanam.
Jesus called his 12 disciples and gave them authority to drive out demons and to heal the people. By the grace of Guru all his 12 disciples were extolled to the status of Guru.
Only a Guru will mould and appoint a good disciple as the Guru. Only in this way a Guru will be made. Because one is great in knowledge or does Penance for many years cannot claim themselves to be a Guru. There is no self appointed Guru. Guru will be made. This is divine secret.
Jesus told his disciples when you are caught in distress do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say. For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks from within you as your soul.
One who were made as Guru by their Guru for them their soul will become their Guru. For this humble being also this is the experience. Whole of bible is of divine experience. Jesus said “it is the one who has endured to the end only will be saved. A disciple is not above his teacher.” So humble in Guru’s Feet and walk as per his guidance. The truth of Gnanam is evident in the acts of the people who have attained and endorsed it.
Jesus praised the Lord as the father of Earth and Heaven. Here our Saint Agathiyar told the verse as the way to Gnanam “See the Sky, See the Land and See Yourself”.
Jesus said “Those who fulfill the wish of our holy father were my mother, brother and sisters. My disciples were my only relations and no one else.” Jesus told “You are praise worthy as you are lucky to receive the hidden secrets of the Holy Scriptures.” One who turns his mind through the light in the lamp of his body which is one’s eye will reach the kingdom of lord. One who acts as per the wishes of the Supreme Lord by getting Deekshai (baptism by fire of holy spirit) and Upadesam from a Qualified SadGuru were like good seeds that were shown for harvest. These people were noble and virtuous ones. They were the one who sees and realize the oneness of soul.
“A prophet or Gnani is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.” It is like the honey in the flower is drunk by a bee coming from far away distance.
