Guest guest Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Om Namah Sivaya Rishi Tirumular (a direct disciple of Lord Siva) who composed Tirumantiram 3000 years ago said the followings: Tirumantirum : verses 411–430 The totality of creation is for the evolution of jiva, that they may, through experience, learn of and realise their final destiny of uniting in the Pure Spirit. Why do souls, who inwardly share Siva’s eternal perfections of Satchidananda and ParaSivam, need this evolution? Because each individual jiva, being temporally created as a divine soul-body that evolves from immaturity to maturity, from divine ignorance to divine sapience, is slowly gaining and maturing the faculties to realize its IDENTITY WITH SIVA’S PERFECTIONS. This evolution is effected through Siva’s purposeful imposing of veils – Anava (individualizing ignorance), Maya (subtle and material from), and Karma. The nature of jiva is one of ENVIRONMENTAL DEPENDENCE.When he is in the company of impurities, he is impure spirit. When he is with pure spirit, he becomes pure spirit. This body, the senses, the phenomenal world, and the power of sense enjoyment are created for the jiva, so that he may by experience learn how PAINFUL it is to be tainted by the triple impurities, and recurring birth and death, and so be liberated to MERGE in the Pure Spirit(SIVAM/ Para Brahman). The evolution of individual jivas is the primary reason for all the convoluted forms of creation. Why should the Supreme One engage Himself in it? Because of His infinite love for His most special creation,the jiva, who cannot mature into divine fulfilment without the impetuses of the triple malam, just as a baby cannot mature into a great and productive adulthood without the appropriate and necessary experiences. Each jiva is given all the time,experience and opportunities it needs to unfold its DIVINITY, to REALIZE GOD, and eventually to serve God and the Gods in helping other souls in their evolution.
