Thirumandhiram 724, thandhiram -3உடம்பார் அழியில் உயிரார் அழிவர்திடம்பட மெய்ஞ்ஞானம் சேரவும் மாட்டார்உடம்பை வளர்க்கும் உபாயம் அறிந்தேஉடம்பை வளர்த்தேன், உயிர் வளர்த்தேனே.The penance to attain one’s true state is the penance to realize oneself. Whatever action we do, the mind should be immersed in that action — with both body and mind united. It is a state where the mind and body are united or in harmony, along with the awareness of consciousness. Thus, the feeling of awareness (consciousness) joins with the formless state called mind and the physical form called body. The mind should settle with what is seen — seeing with awareness, experiencing with awareness, listening with awareness, tasting with awareness, speaking with awareness — doing any action with awareness.Lines 1 and 2உடம்பார் அழியில் உயிரார் அழிவர்திடம்பட மெய்ஞ்ஞானம் சேரவும் மாட்டார்Life resides in this body. The soul dwells within that life. Therefore, I am that very life. Therefore, to keep this life in the body for a long time, we must protect and maintain the body.To attain wisdom and knowledge, the life must remain within the body. If life is to remain in this body, one must know the way to nourish and care for it. The true purpose of this life is to attain supreme spiritual wisdom — to understand the ultimate reality of the universe. That alone is true knowledge. This life has taken this body precisely to reach that state of wisdom. Until this life attains wisdom, this body is extremely essential for us. Thus, when the body is healthy, the soul also thrives. By nurturing the body, I nourished the life, and through that life, I attained true knowledge. Lines 3 and 4உடம்பை வளர்க்கும் உபாயம் அறிந்தேஉடம்பை வளர்த்தேன், உயிர் வளர்த்தேனே.Gurumahan emphasies that the methods for nurturing the body is by practicing yoga; one can attain physical health, enrich the mind, and gain knowledge. To attain true wisdom, I make use of this body. So, to keep my body healthy, I must keep my spine aligned in a straight line.  I learned the method of aligning the 33 spinal bones in a straight line. When the hips, spine, neck, and head are perfectly aligned in a straight line, the life force within flows upwards through the Sushumna Nadi (central energy channel) and reaches the crown chakra, leading to a good opportunity to gain wisdom. I learned the method to bring balance to this body, which is made up of the five elements.The life that dwells within the body is Jeevan (the living being).  Oh Jeevan, you went after sensory pleasures through the senses. Now, realize the divine state within you, and you will experience the bliss of the soul. You, who were lost in small pleasures, will move beyond sensory pleasures and unite in the state of true bliss. You will become one with the Divine, who is at the crown. After being controlled by the senses, you will leave the path of the senses, follow the inner path, and become one with the Divine, experiencing ultimate ecstasy.Send us Fan MailLet Wisdom Flourish!Let Peace Prevail!
