SG Ruminations Vol 4 by Sabari Ganesh (buy e reader txt) 📕

Attaining moderation in attitude, articulation and actions is the vital link that connects the known materialistic worldly experience called Dwaitham and the unknown ultimate termed Adwaitham; the eternal substratum. The ability of the common man, to gain control over the senses systematically, thereby expressing a measured behaviour, that minimises the wavering quest of the mind, to remain in peace is the result of successful implementation of the Vedic principles in one's life.

The hard reality of life is the fact that success or failure in our attempts is beyond human comprehension and reach; immaterial and irrespective of efforts.

Fear is a negative feeling; and hence a negative term. Fear is when, trust is missing. Along with trust; truth and the ability to remain true to purpose, is also lost. When one is not true to purpose; exhibits hypocrisy and deceit in thoughts, words and actions.

It is always safe for us to remain away from people who do not trust us. The substratum of any kind of relationship, even acquaintanceship between people; is built upon trust. Trust is an elementary component of life.

Trying to remain in contact with people who do not trust us is folly, absurd and sheer stupidity. People who do not trust us would only end up backstabbing though unintentionally because they do not trust us and are afraid of us. Hence an exposed and candid reaction can never be expected from them.

Claiming and encouraging the fear factor in people around us is not a merit rather a major setback in maintaining cordial relationship with anyone. People may be related to us by blood or traditional events; still as long as they are afraid of us; they just can’t be true to us. Not a point to blame; sheer inability!

Being surrounded by people, even relatives; who do not trust us would bestow a life of futility filled with deceit and pretence. When we begin searching truth around us; even a mere superficial search would result in withering away of attachment to relationships in life!

The cradle step in spirituality.

Ability to maintain a dignified silence amidst false accusations on the face and backbiting, is a profound signature of psychological maturity!

Untouchability?

The genitals and anus are inevitable parts of the human body. The use of genitals provides much pleasure to the human body. The anus is the most important part of the human body as it removes the shit out of it! Still, do we touch our genitals and anus as we touch our head or face?

Don’t we cleanse our hands with soap after touching our genitals and anus? Still, do we hate our genitals or anus? Just like a human body requires a mouth in the face and anus in the abdomen for proper and normal functioning; so does the society require different categories of people.

The mouth in the face; and the mouth in the abdomen called the anus, is separated by the whole length of the alimentary canal! One end of the alimentary canal is the mouth and the other end is the anus; that must remain distanced from each other for the body to survive!

Any problem or trouble that affects either the mouth in the face or the mouth in the abdomen called anus affects the entire human body! As a matter of fact the disruption of peace of the human body is intense and severe when the mouth in the abdomen called the anus is troubled.

Society requires every kind of people separated based on functions for survival and functioning. Though separated based on functions, the regard, respect, love and care must remain uniform and similar among and amidst every category of people!

Untouchability!

Every activity in this universe; whether big or small, important or trivial; occurs as ordained by the divine. Free will just does not exist! As long as one thinks that he or she is the performer; one is bound. The thought that we perform is our imagination!

When our imagination coincides with the divine will, we perceive success; else failure. LOL. Success and failure are mere our imaginations; nothing more, nothing less. When one realizes this ultimate fact due to divine grace, attains peace; called freedom.

The human intellect that every one of us boasts of is the predominant factor that curtails our freedom. As long as we believe in our intellectual abilities and derive sense of gratification out of it; we are actually fools! Hence the reason; humility is regarded as the substratum of spirituality!

நமக்கு குழந்தைகளை ஏன் பிடித்திருக்கிறது? காரணம், குழந்தைகளிடம் நான் எனும் அஹங்காரம் இல்லாமையால்!

அது பொலவே, நாமும் நம்முடைய அஹங்காரத்தை துறந்து விட்டால்; கடவுளுக்கும் நம்மை பிடித்துவிடும்!

அதன் பிறகு; நாம் கடவுளை தேடி, அலைந்து, பிடித்து கொள்ள வேண்டும் என்பதில்லை; கடவுள் நம்மை விடாமல் பிடித்து கொள்வார்!

குரு கீதை:

ஆத்மாவை அறியாதிருப்பதைக் காட்டிலும் கொடிய வியாதி வேறு இல்லை!

ஆத்ம ஸாக்ஷாத்காரத்திற்கு குருவை சரண் அடைவதைத் தவிர வேறு உபாயம் இல்லை!!

The ultimate essence of life is to leave this body in peace at the destined moment; till then it is practice and preparation for the same!
