Namaskar.

 

Before attempting to answer the question as to Why anybody suffers, I would like

to quote from the Maha Swamy's speech.

 

Quote :

 

" A child eats earth. Its hands are tied by the mother. The child gets angry and

cries. Is it without reason the mother ties it's hands? We do not know the mercy

of Universal Mother. The good or harm coming to us has its source in Her Grace;

Suffering - Her Grace for some reason. We must accept whatever comes to us, good

or bad, as Her Grace. We do not know why she gives it. Our vision is limited. We

do not know what precedes it or follows it. If we are able to look into the past

present and future, we will know that God does no harm to us."

 

Now, talking about Maha Kavi Bharathiar, who is one of the greatest Devi devotee

and a Jivan Muktha, lived true to this statement of Maha Swamy and he didn't

care a damn, to worry about his financial woes, considering this as Her Grace

and it seems this noted Orator from Dharma puram is more concerned about

Bharathiar's poverty than Bharathi himself would have been.

 

For Bharathiar Other than God, there was no kith or kin for him . He was a Yogi

or Jnani whose intellect was very subtle and as sharp as a sword. He become like

a withered tree, an immovable object with a steady mind. He had understood all

that was happening around him. His knowledge was perfect. He was not affected

by passion or sorrow.

Like any ordinary mortal he did not seek to satisfy his wants like hunger,

thirst, and a place to rest.He did his duties apart from an an individual has

towards himself, to the social group and the nation.

 

Ordinarily, the performance of these duties remains on the level of satisfying

the creaturely wants. But He performed these duties which had elevated everyone

concerned patriotically and spiritually and till date we Treausure his songs.

just like the English men who pride themselves that there can be no second

Shakespeare , Tamilians pride, there can be no second Bharathiar (as far his

compositions were concerned at literary level.) But Bharthiar was beyond any

worldly knowledge and this particular instance which comes to mind would prove

this point.

 

To quote from the lecture of HH Swamy Haridas Giri about Bharathiar :

 

" Coming home Bharathiar orders his wife to prepare meals for him and the

devoted wife finding nothing brings the borrowed grains from her neighbour ,

finding Bharathiar sitting outside his house gazing the birds, requests his help

for removing the stones in the rice.

 

Bharathiar engrossed in the nature seeing the Para Brahman everywhere including

the crows and sparrows composes one of his Famous song " Kaakai Kuruveniley

Nandalla " and in this state of mind throws away all the rice given to him for

cleaning to the crows and sparrows around him keeping only the major portion of

the stones -- His wife arrives at the scene, much to her shock pulls the left

over from Bharathi's hand.

 

My question is Will any ordinary mortal, under the circumstances, if He was

concerned with his poverty do this Act.

 

Therefore it is important to learn anything from great saints and Acharyas than

Petty Politicians or orators however noted they may be.To- day the dirty

politicians of Tamil Nadu have reduced the great work in Tamil " The Thirukkural

" to a mere outstanding literary piece where as the Maha Swamy gives the status

equivalent to Vedas. He further elevates the Tamil Language as equivalent to

Sanskrit because of the availability of Thirukkural.

 

About Maha Swamy --

 

He alone is an Acharya, who, after clearly understanding the conclusive

teachings of the Sastras, makes the people of the world gain their welfare by

making them stick to the path shown in the Sastras and also himself does

everything according to Sastras and remains in that experience

 

Jaya Jaya Shankara Hara Hara Shankara.

1)Recently a popular orator raised this question in Dharapuram,in atemple

function.It is said that worshipping Devi will bless the sadhaka with prosperity

and worldly well being but why did Bharathiar suffered economically throughout

his life ,was his question.He was attempting to de moralise those who are in

Devi upasana.How do we encounter such arguments?May i request learned members of

our group to throw some light on this?
