Gurumahan, in the 24th Velvi discourse, reveals the power of Vairagya, the key to self-realization.Many people ask,"Gurumahan, what do you do inside (Pranavalayam)? We can't even sit for one hour. Do you simply sit there? Don't you sleep? Don't you feel hungry?"Yes, hunger comes."What about thirst?"Yes, thirst comes too.Pleasure and pain belong to the body's sensations. Hunger, thirst, urinating, passing stool, and sleeping all belong to the body.As long as you identify yourself as the body and remain bound by its sensations, these bodily experiences keep driving and influencing you.But once you transcend the body, you go beyond these bodily sensations.When you abide in the state of the Paranjothi Atma (the Supreme Self of Divine Light), and realize, "I am the one who operates this body," the body no longer affects you. The intellect observes the pleasure and pain experienced by the body.But the Atma remains beyond them, untouched by both good and bad.One can explain this in words.But to truly experience it, one essential quality is required: Vairagya (detachment).Yes, Vairagya is essential.Send us Fan MailLet Wisdom Flourish!Let Peace Prevail!
