INNOCENCE AND SIMPLICITY PAYS: Nandanar, the great Tamil Shaivaite

saint, born as an outcaste peasant finally obtained the respect of,

and imparted lessons on divinity to his own high caste landlord and a

vast following. When the gates of the temple in the town of

Chidambram, were opened to him by priests, the simple and noble soul

merged with the Lord of his dreams. Indeed, often those driven by

simplicity and innocence have that contentment and serenity which is

unknown to the ambitious, the famous and the affluent! – K.

Vijayaraghavan

 

THE SOUL: The soul can be compared to the four-dimensional space-time

continuum that Einstein created as part of his general theory of

relativity, as against the three dimensions of space that ruled our

mindset from the time of Isaac Newton up to the beginning of the 20th

century. The soul according to the Buddha is nothingness. It is a

creative emptiness that resonates with the music and dance of

divinity. It is nothing and has nothing. So it carries the music of

the spheres, the celestial symphony fully and faithfully. – S.H.
