How to avoid negative thoughts - Question from Shiva

Be blessed by divine sir,

I had this doubt from quite a long time.

It has been mentioned that by undertaking the herbs like vallarai,Thoothvalai,musumus...we can reduce our intensity of thoughts..

Please let me know whether only unwanted -ve thoughts which are deeply imprinted in our subconscious mind are going to erased from mind or anything else is going to happen..

If so what about intellectual knowledge which we have acquired through studies.

Please provide me with as much as clarity as possible...

Awaiting for your reply ..

Hi,

Humans think that their happiness comes from the mind, It is wrong, it’s an illusion, its only pleasure., where ever there is pleasure , pain is bound to be there , they are two sides of the same coin. Mind is the sea in which like waves thoughts arise, sometimes, thoughts are pleasant and sometimes they are painful.
At the intellectual level one can learn to avoid painful thoughts and have pleasant thoughts only. But there are other and higher centers of consciousness; learning about them is called spiritual knowledge and divine knowledge. Entering into those regions is called YOGA, GNANA and all types of spiritual practices. Though they are very hard to attain, they are not impossible.

There are only two things in human life to learn, one is to think correctly, orderly, clearly and to the point. This is called concentrated thinking or DHARANA in yogic terminology.
The next thing to learn is to still the mind and eradicate thoughts.

Correct thinking can be learnt by learning logic, computer science and Socratic dialogues written by Plato. Going beyond thoughts and awakening the pure intelligence of the soul, the Aathman and God head are possible by practicing YOGA, MEDITATION and other spiritual disciplines. Then you will be able to control and go beyond thoughts. These higher centers of consciousness are : Intuition or the seventh degree of knowledge, insight or the eighth degree of knowledge, the capacity to enter into the kingdom of God , which is the ninth degree of knowledge.

Finally the ultimate and the tenth degree of knowledge called the mind of light is attained by constantly and singularly thinking of God only and fusing ones consciousness with the consciousness of GOD. In short there are 10 degrees of knowledge in the ladder of creation, man is at the 6th stage of thought but so far he has not fully attained even that sixth stage. He has to scale up the other four rungs of the ladder of knowledge.


Saint Ramalinga has simplified the whole process of attaining super consciousness in a single act of love and compassion, by p[practicing compassion towards all beings and by devotion to the Lord Arutperum Jothi inside the spirit of one’s self at the center of one’s head called 'Chit Sabha'. One can attain it easily, its a short cut and a straight forward one because love is not a thought, it is not an emotion as we wrongly think. It is ultimate knowledge and wisdom, it is also the power of God himself with which He is creating and sustaining the universe. The number of beings human, animal or plant or otherwise, you are capable of loving with your whole being as your own self. You are going up in the ladder of super consciousness.

Love is the embodiment of higher knowledge; compassion is the human counter part of divine grace. Swami Vallalar in his mahopadesa says that it was only total compassion towards all beings that transformed his consciousness as well as his body into those of divine light.

All these things have been already explained in ever so many letters and lectures. So humbly request you to go through my CDs and books. We can talk about higher things in Sutha Sanmarga for all these are basics.

Particularly I want you to read my book in tamil called " அறிவு நிலைகள் பத்து " [ ten degrees of knowledge], published by "Tamizhini Publishes", 67, Peters Road, Royapettha, Chennai - 600 014. Phone : 98841 96552.

Is there one GOD or many? IS THERE ONLY ONE SIVAM?

Question by Dr.Vinayaga moorthy
IS THERE ONLY ONE SIVAM?

Answer

Dear Sir,

Can there be any doubt about the number of the ultimate Being?
Mahayogi Thirumoolar says 'Ondrae Kulamum, Oruvanae Devanum', Saint Patinathaar says ' Ondrendru iru. Deivam undenru iru.' Vallalar confirms it 'Oru uldalil er uyir enalaamo?' In one body there can be only one spirit. In the same way in the cosmic body also there can be one ultimate spirit.

The doubt arises because of the claiming of various religions that their own brand of God is the supreme. How to solve this problem? As usual it was Vallalar who solved it for me. Vallalar says 'Chith sabaiyil vilanguginra deivam Athe deivam', which means the living God inside the agna chakra, i.e., One's own soul or 'Jeevan' is the temple of Chithambaram inside which the living Lord of Arutperum Jothi is eternally dancing. As long as one tries to see God in temples outside this doubt will linger in the mind.

Long before Saint Manika Vasagar announced the same truth in his immortal words.. ' Thenaadu udaya Sivane Pootri, En naattavarkum iraivaa potri'. At the surface level the meaning of this dictum could be questioned by a christian or musalman. But the real meaning is an eternal truth. 'Thennaadu' does not mean South India or Chithambaram, a geographical location found on the map. What he means by thennadu is the Agna Chakra inside which is the jeevan which is the real temple of Chidhambaram.

Chidh - means life, living spirit.
ambaram - means Sky or temple.

This can be verified by the sacrad verses of vallalar: ' Uyirellam Podhu [All souls are the dancing platform of God. And "Uyirellaam oru nee thiru nadam puriyum thirupodhu ena therintheen" - meaning I discovered that, all souls are a platform on which the only God's eternal dance is being performed. ]

Thiru moolar says 'Seevan yena Sivan yena verillai' meaning there is no difference between Seevan or Jeeva and Siva. There is no difference between 'Pasu' or soul and 'Pathi' or God provided the soul is purified of the malas, anava, kanma and maya.

Saint Aunagiri naarthar says there is but one task for man to do in this life : To pass the test of overcoming the illusory notion that man is not God potentially. 'Seevan Sivan ena theree'.

According to the Saivagamas and saivasidhantha tradition there are four steps to God :
1. Sariyai or doing service at temples
2. Kiriyai or performing poojas at temples or at home
[Both are done outside the body]
3. Yoga or trying to see God in ones own body.
4. Gnana or attaining God in ones body.
[The later two are attained inside the body.]

Every disciple or aspirant is expected to move on from the first step to the last because unless one achieves Gnana one can never see God : 'Gnaname Moksha Dhwara'. Only through the door of Gnana or wisdom one can enter into the land of Salvation.


All these things are clearly said in the Saivite Shasthras as well as in vallalars arutpa. Even in the Bible, Jesus says, "The kingdom of God is within you". Only it falls short of identifying the place which is the spirit.


Thanking you
Love and Blessing

Yogic Experience at Agna Chakra - Explained

Question :

Dear Ayya,
I listen until part-9 of your arutperum jothi agaval explanation. Excellent ayya. i think no one reveal vallalar's secret like this. Wonderful ayya. why won't you write a explanations for arutperum jothi agaval?
After i listen part-9, i want to share with you one of my experience. and also i have question about that.
Last three months back one day at early morning (around 4:55,I am not sleeping) i felt middle of my eyebrow was really heavy, so i keep on watching middle place of my eyebrow, suddenly i saw some shape(gray in color) and then i saw some slight yellow color and then i saw a bright yellow color light. i know my agna chakra was opened.(but one of the sanmargi said its opened only until the yellow screen. but anyway),
what my question is, i saw some words around that light. But i couldn't read those words. because the whole miracle was happened only few seconds.
Can you please explain me why the words are appearing and what is the meaning of those words. can you please explain me ayya?
(my name is valliramu. I am living in California.
I am a pure vegetarian.) (my childhood was in Attur(Close to Salem.) so i am familier with Salem.)
Please answer my questions when ever the time allows you ayya. Your preaching are so excellent. I expect more preachings from you ayya. last month (April) you give a speech at madras. But still its not upload in internet. so do it as soon as possible ayya. Thank you.
I like to hear lot of your preaching. Thank you ayya. Valli.


Answer :

So far 40 lectures have been given on Arutperum Jothi agaval. More are yet to come. I have given more than 200 lectures on Arutpa both in English and Tamil, they are available on CDs and DVDs. If anybody offers to get them type-written they can be produced in the form of books also. there are more than a 100 projects on Sanmarga.

For want of manpower and funds they are pending.

As far your experience at Agna Chakra it seems to be some what genuine. If I reveal now more about the experiences that are yet to come your mind will at once create them fictionally.

That is the danger one should avoid, so it is better for me not to give any more explanations. A teacher on yoga is expected to say only whether the experience is a real one or a fiction of the mind.

Keep it up. Vallalar will guide you through to the final experience of seeing Arutperum Jothi.

Love
