Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Om Namah Sivaya The Vel is the Jnana Sakti of the Lord. Its tip is wide, long and sharp, signifying incisive discrimination and Spiritual Knowledge, which must be broad, deep and penetrating. It destroys ignorance and restores the Jiva to its original abode of pristine glory. “When the nest of a bird is destroyed, it betakes itself to the sky. Similarly, when the consciousness of the body and the outer world is effected from mind, the Jivatman soars into the sky of the Paramatman and merges itself in Samadhi.” ---Sri Ramakrishna Tirumantiram by Rishi Tirumular (verse 1651): Grace Unites Soul in God They mount the Body-ChariotAnd Mind, the Charioteer takes the rein;It is Illusion’s-ChariotThat strange fantasies produces;And they realize it,And mount the Chariot of Love insteadAnd receive Grace of the Pure One,They shall sure be drawnIn the triumphant Chariot of UnityAnd be one in God, obliterating I and He. Tirukural by Tiruvalluvar (verses 357): Having thought profoundly and realized fully that which is, one need never think of being born again.
