Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Muruga is Poornathuvan- Baba Muruga is a Poorna (complete) being. In Pazhani, during the morning time, he is clad in a loin-cloth. During the evenings, after Abhishekam, He is adorned with princely dresses. So, is Muruga a recluse or a king? He is neither, because He is beyond definition. He is what He pleases. That is why He is a Gnaani. He is a recluse in Pazhani, whereas He is a householder in Thiruthani; also, there are legends of his love for Valli. He is Theivanai's spouse at Thirupparankunram; does that strike you as bigamy? The fact is He is neither a recluse nor a householder. He is a Gnaani. He takes on the role of a Guru in Swamimalai, whereas He is fighting with Soorapadman in Thiruchendur. So, is Muruga a gentle person or a rowdy? He is neither; He is nothing. He, who is able to contain all the qualities and yet, is beyond quality, is the Pooranathuvan. He must know everything; else He cannot become a Gnaani. Arunagirinatha says, 'Can Muruga be comprehended by the human mind?' ('Muruganthani Velmuni namGuru enru arivu kondu arivaar ariyum tharama?') Arunagirinathar says, 'I must neither remember you, nor forget you.’ It is only when you forget that you have to remind yourself of His Presence. So, Muruga, place your Lotus Feet in the lotus blossom of my heart.' Shiva Shankar Baba is happy always, in a constant state of ecstasy, because he has become a Gnaani (realized person) by God's Grace. I can bring forth any Divine Aspect from within Me, because the physical form is able to visualize that aspect of Divinity as the soul guides it. I am seeing with my physical eyes, everything that goes on at the soul level. I am able to visualize Muruga dancing on His Golden Peacock. If you want this to happen to you, overcome your attachment to your physical form during your lifetime. Learn to see the Light within. Familiarize yourself with the sound vibrations within you and you will attain that bliss. Then nothing in the world can affect you. No one can disturb your poise. You have comprehended God's presence within you. And He will start performing for you. You can extend this to help anyone who seeks your help. That is how it happens to me. I have realized God within, and so He attends to every task of mine. He knows what is needed for me. My system of working is based on a lucid, practical philosophy … only because I had been with the mundane world, and know as much about it as you do, if not more.
