What truly gives us value — the form we see, or the life force that drives this body? | நமக்கு மதிப்பு எதற்குக் கிடைக்கிறது? உருவத்திற்கா, அல்லது உடலை இயக்கும் உயிருக்கா?

The 9th Velvi, 1999: Gurumahan Explains Advaita through Chidambara Rahasiyam! (secret).As long as Shivam is present in this body, there is respect. When Shivam leaves, what is it called? Savam. A corpse. Then what did we worship? Why did we show respect? For what purpose?For the energy that exists inside. We cannot see that energy. An invisible, subtle energy exists within. It pervades everything inside. Who is that?That is God. While you yourself sit as that God, what are we still doing? We kept searching and searching. In devotion, we searched for God, built temples, and showed God in forms. We ourselves were once an invisible, subtle energy. When we were inside our mother’s womb, we existed, but no one knew it. After ten months, we came out.Temple worship was established to explain this philosophy. As soon as we enter, we see the Nataraja statues. We see forms.Then, when we go inside, we see the Lingam.When we reach the sanctum, we see something that cannot be called form or formless — a formless form.If you go to Chidambaram, they show the Chidambara Rahasyam. What is that secret?They show space. They say, “This is the secret,” and people look all around. You pay money, they tell you to look up. When you look up and think you will see something, what do you see?Nothing. That nothing is the secret.From that nothingness, all of us have come.From that invisible, subtle energy, we have come.Send us Fan MailLet Wisdom Flourish!Let Peace Prevail!
