Santhosam Podcast: Guiding Light of Spiritual Wisdom

lf you worship the Guru as both light and divine vibration, you will receive an abundance of divine power/energy. But to express your mental stresses and to reveal your inner turmoil, a Guru in form is needed. You are all great in knowledge and are profound thinkers. So if you place the Guru as your essence in the pinnacle of your thoughts, that faith and trust you place in the Guru will be the very force that protects you. 

It is only upon seeing the Guru through this physical body that your faith is awakened. When you leave the sanctuary or ashram, your belief diminishes. For such individuals, things take time to unfold and success is delayed.

In reality, things will unfold much better, faster, and more beneficially than you ever imagined, by just constantly thinking of that divine vibration at your third eye and crown chakras (wherein you got initiated by the Guru). Then you will transform into one who has received the divine grace and unite with the Divine.

If there is divine grace, one can attain strength, spiritual power, wisdom, fame, all noble qualities and ultimately liberation. Have faith in the words of your Guru, as they say, “A single word, a simple word, is the Guru’s word.” Trust in Guru and surrender yourself completely in meditation. It is that faith and trust that will ultimately be your salvation. If you see your Guru as a human, you will receive the benefits only as a human; if you perceive him as a person of enlightenment, your life will be illuminated; but if you recognize the same Guru as Brahmam - the eternal soul, and pray to that Brahmam as divine vibration inside you, you can also become that divine. This is possible only through a Guru’s grace. 

If one earnestly seeks to reach a higher spiritual state by placing the request before the Guru, it will undoubtedly be fulfilled. That state is one of boundless love, wisdom, strength, infinite bliss, peace, beauty, and an unlimited divine presence. When you approach the Guru to seek His blessings, elevate the divine vibrations at your third eye and crown chakras. As you bow before Him, let go of your ego and place all your desires at these sacred centres. In such a state of surrender, you shall receive all that you seek.

When you have yet to fully believe in the divine vibrations within you, you may chant mantras silently within your mind or speak them aloud. While chanting mentally yields a  greater benefit than verbal recitation, simply immersing yourself in the feeling of the divine vibration, or just thinking with that awareness, is sufficient to awaken a power many thousand fold greater.

What is essential? What is necessary? What is superfluous? Reflect on these three questions—consider, express, and act upon what is vital and necessary, while consistently maintaining positive and uplifting thoughts. Steer clear of negative language such as 'No', 'cannot', or 'don't want'; instead, embrace affirming phrases like 'I can' and 'I will'. It is particularly important for women to avoid thinking or saying 'I cannot'. The positive mindset of a woman can elevate her family, community, and nation. Women serve as the foundation in enhancing families, societies, and nations. Such a divine family is often referred to as paranjothi family or vasudheva kudumbam. While the father provides the life, it is the mother who nurtures and raises the child. Just as a good seed needs fertile soil to grow into a tree, a family requires the support of women. They possess a divine nature. When a woman is valued and respected within her family, it leads to the upliftment of that family. By honoring and appreciating a woman's contributions, we contribute to the betterment of the society and thus, nation. It is a man's responsibility to protect and support women in achieving success. Both men and women share the responsibility for promote strong families, communities, and nations.

Just as a guide is crucial for climbing a mountain, a Guru is essential for attaining divinity or spiritual enlightenment. Instead of merely worshipping Shiva, if one reveres the Guru who guides us to Him, they can transform themselves into that very essence of Shiva.

This is the Advaita philosophy, wherein the individual embodies the essence of Shiva, as they understand that there is no distinction between themselves and the divine.

Just as a person who practices farming is called a farmer; a person who learns about engineering is called an engineer; and a person who studies medicine is called a doctor; a person who studies the external world is called a scientist.

On the other hand, one who learns about the inner self or the essence of being is called a Mei Gnani or Atma Gnani or Brahma Gnani in Tamil, which translates to a true knowledge seeker or a spiritual seeker.

May you all become one with the ultimate reality, receiving the grace of the almighty, the Paranjodhi.

Devotion must reside within our hearts. Just as rain inevitably pours when clouds gather, so too will blessings flow when your spirit experiences a thaw. This is the rain of wisdom, a sacred outpouring. We must cherish that which has shaped our lives and the world we inhabit. The singular consciousness that manifests as everything around us is the ultimate truth. Love is a core element of this truth; it represents devotion. Embracing that devotion is crucial—devotion to the divine, to God.
Even in the midst of profound devotion, if you trust the Guru who imparts this wisdom and believe in the divine essence awakened within you by the Guru, your troubles and ailments will fade away naturally. With love, faith, and self-realization, all your challenges can be eased. The Guru's teachings act as a cure for all afflictions—be they physical, mental, or intellectual.

Transcending the mind and delving deeper into our Self represents the highest form of worship. In both idol worship and meditation, devotion serves as the unifying element. Without genuine devotion, one cannot attain salvation or wisdom. The reverence for idols is experienced as devotion to inner light in formless worship where God is experienced as light (Paranjothi).  Through meditation, devotion is experienced through a connection to the inner divine essence (Mei Unarvu). Ultimately, devotion to our true self is the most profound form of worship, known as Kadavul (God) bhakti.
Kadavul bhakti transforms into Guru bhakti, as the Guru and God are one and the same. The manner in which we dedicate ourselves to God should mirror our faith in the Guru, as this devotion elevates our spiritual journey. Such faith in the Guru, combined with a consistent meditation practice, leads to a sublime state of being.

Meditation, or Dhyana, involves deep contemplation on the Self or Truth. Our thoughts shape our reality; if we focus on an adversary, we may inadvertently adopt their traits. By fixating on sorrowful experiences, we draw negativity into our lives through our imagination. The mind wields immense power, as each thought generates a wave of energy with a specific frequency in the universe, illustrating the interconnectedness of space and time. When we question whether something will occur, wise individuals remind us that only time will reveal the answer. Our bodies, crafted by Nature, are perfectly aligned at birth; while human interventions may falter, Nature is infallible. Each person possesses inherent self-discipline and moral values; it is essential to connect with our inner selves to cultivate these virtues.

Lord Siva (parameshwaran) discusses with Goddess Parvati on the object of meditation. What should be the object of meditation, as we all know that meditation is nothing but contemplating one thought. To which lord siva answers: one should meditate and worship the Guru who is the Great Parabrahmam (universe/GOD). Therefore, by worshipping the Great Guru, one can attain everything that is there in the world. Then lord siva continues saying : Oh Goddess Parvati, therefore this knowledge should reach to whoever is interested in attaining this state ( the state of Supreme conciousness) of truth and never share this knowledge to those who don't believe in it. So, share this knowledge to whoever wants to know about themselves, interested in attaining the Supreme state  and those who wishes to know the truth.
