Prelude : Conscious of my resolution some time back on NOT POSTING a prelude for any poem, I desisted from bragging about my latest child - I mean, poem - Oozh (The destiny); However, not able to contain myself when the subject offers enormous scope for another independent posting.....!! You are destined for this posting - here you go...
Dear All
To be candid, I am not sure to which category of God Belief I belong to !! Though I spill out lavishly Gods' names (Shiva and Krishnaa) in my musings, they are essentially out of habit and to some extend because I wanted to be reminded of the supreme power that governs all of us. Essentially I think and feel real more about Destiny than any other deity form.
I had not prayed much in front of Gods - a void blank engulfs me as I look into the eyes of the Deities - which ever temple I visit and what ever God it represents. Perhaps, I could fit myself very well with Isha Yoga when Sadhguru made a mockery of so called God Belief as it is practised.....{How can one forget his nice way of putting what a prayer is = "atha kuduppa itha kuduppa...kaapathuppa !! He says, 98 % of prayers are in this wave length only - which I felt very true}
Neither I carry a fancy about so called Naasthigam. I have a strong doubt if my Cine icon Kamal really utters his "pearls of his 6th sense wisdom" mainly to appease the Tamil Mass.......AND to avoid him getting identified with his (forward) caste. It is bit obscene to even empathise with these Paguththarivu Vaathi-Gal whose life seems to be dry and devoid any humility or respect for unexplored things. Perhaps, I carry a strong doubt if these guys should have at least accepted "destiny" INSTEAD of the personified Gods of Hinduism; They seem to shut their eyes on unanswerable questions and justify the nature with its random-ness. Well, I do understand why do not want to get into Destiny factor - as it will lead to acceptance of "rebirth" dictum of Hinduism which can put them into discomfort.
With my very little experience with the world until now, I am fortunate enough to have been reminded quite often about DESTINY not just in times of mental turmoil but also when I am in jubilant mood. The factor of impermanence of any thing and every thing has got etched into me quite deeply.....that I don't have any thing but reverence and gratitude for the supreme power.
Having said that, off late - I am observing with lot of interest on the paradox AND inter-woven-nature of Free Will against Destiny. Perhaps, if I become 100 % synchronized with destiny and its deeds, I will get more clearer on the scope of Free Will.....!! Until then, its just an on and off game.......and I just have to get grateful about this glimpses of reminders of destiny - like what is happening right today.
In the recent Isha weekly magazine (Kaatup poo), Sadhguru had given a brilliant response to a question posed.....
Q : When people pray you and seek your blessings on this and that...How do you react / bless them ?
Sadhguru : I bless them to provided what ever is good for their life energies.
Think about this man...and his level of consistency though he is bit weird and dangerously outspoken on many subjects which spiritual men avoid speaking.
Krishnaarpanam....as always.
