`Wealth` which Sages use

செல்வம் - Wealth;

Today we are going to discuss about wealth and who were richest people of ancient times. When we say wealth the quickest thought comes to mind is `money`. Unless one has knowledge, they can only understand "money is only wealth". `Knowledge about self and society` bring one to a different altitude and those will understand there are different Wealths. Pre-historic mankind had different wealth. When we use chisel down technique then we can see the Ancient society very clearly. Let us chisel down governments one by one, When we chisel down India we get British, When we chisel down British we get Nayakars and Palayams, When we chisel down Nayakars we get Nawabs, When we chisel down Nawabs we get we get Vijayanagar rulers, When we chisel down Vijayanagar rulers we get Later cholas & pandyas, When we chisel down Later cholas & pandyas we get eary cholas & pandyas, When chisel down them we get Imperum Kaapiyangal times, When we chisel down Imperum Kaapiyangal we get a society which wrote grammer to the Tamil language, When we chisel down the society we get mankind who traded in sea, When we chisel down traders we get farmers, When we chisel down farmers we get predators from stone age. Survival is the Knowledge at these times. So `ultimate knowledge` one should acquire is not money but survival skills. Slowly from stone age to medival age, when we look at there is a better Grand father with knowledge. Even before grammer was written for a language, there were listening skills which made one to become a better Grand father. Writing skill had only materialize what one has thought and experienced, those were fact and knowledge at these times. What stone age society thought as wealth? What farmer society thought as Wealth? What trader society thought as wealth? What medival age society thought as wealth? What millenials thinks as wealth? `what is wealth` varies in all the time. For poor, ways to become rich is wealth. For rich, ways to give to society becomes wealth. At all ages these two principle will not change. What one think as wealth makes him/her self. 

Looking at medivel times with this idea, count how many temples are in south india. Temples in south india > temples in north india. The society in south india were the richest and wealthiest community of Indian sub continent. If you ask a civil architect to estimate the construction cost of the temples in south india, today it will be measured by money. But if you understand the chiseling technique and estimate the wealth of the community, then you can understand, who are the richest? So having dozens of bitcoin doesn't make you rich it only helps you to survive and it is not wealth. Definition of wealth varies time to time. For all the time, `wealth which is supreme` varies but the medium doesn't change which is told in Thirkkural ages before.

Wealth of wealth is wealth acquire be ear attent; Wealth mid all wealth supremely excellent 

- Thirukkural (411)

One Mountain, Different paths

Oh God!, bless me to think for the people around me, give the knowledge that is common for the human kind, make me a tool of you for the people! When I think about God, which God I am praying to? Does God have a name? Does God has a shape? Does God has a specific place? Oh God! tell these people that you were not born and will not die. When anybody in this planet think about God from different locations of the earth, what do they get? We all share one common earth, one connected atmosphere and that has one general principle, then wherever you think about God then everyone should get that One Almighty which is common to us. Now each part of the earth interpreted for their group in words and take logical conclusions and fight with neighbors, i am big, i am big and i am only correct. Let say different Group of people live in earth as H,I,C,J,S,V and B. Some group go to an extent and say God sent our leader so we are close to him and we are bigger than you. Some group say we reject what other groups are saying but our leader is correct and we follow. Some group says i accept everybody's path but I have my way which is best. This is like everyone trying to climb one mountain peak with their interpretations. Some climb from north, some from east, some for south and few from west. Everyone's goal is to climb and reach the mountain peak. By this time Group 'C' leader looks at other groups and say that what a fool! they are going in wrong directions we should help them because we are close to the peak. And sends few scholars from their group and debate and bring other group people to join in their group. People from other group might be close to the peak and inching closer these scholars go and debate and bring them to their group and add those people to the beginner category. The other guy has to learn everything from scratch. So that he/she goes to the bottom of the mountain. If he/she understands what their own path is telling, they wouldn't have gone to the other group and join as toddlers. By this time all the group completed their journey and concluded their position as mountain peak and started enjoying their position. Few were at mid of the mountain, few were close to the peak but not at peak, few were at bottom of peak. Wherever one is born and start to climb the peak their destination is similar/common for entire human race. Without this understanding different groups fight to defend their symbols. People think that their destinations are different. All these blind people who have never been to the peak of the mountain teach, preach and guide others to attain peak. Oh God! come down from the peak and walk us to the destination.

If one wants to mix with environment and become one with it, then steps are common for all.

If one want to reach the ocean from different rivers then everyone reach one common ocean.

If one wants to climb the mountain peak then everyone move towards one common destination.

Once a Siddhar was traveling to Thiruvannamalai to get the darshan of the deepam. He was all alone walking towards the mountain with others. The one saw a scorpion struggling beneath the rock, The one saw that and wanted to help it and moved towards it and tried to remove its obstacle. The scorpion continuously stroked at the One. Others saw that and told the one to stop helping it, Are you a fool? The One wisely told, "Its tendency is to strike and mine is to help".

In Ancient time before Buddha everything was inter-connected in the earth, everyone was traveling to the common destination though they are divided in terms of land, group and Gods. We have shown enough proofs in the blog saying that tamils were around the Globe as one family and they had interconnection with other civilizations. There are proofs for a pandian king ruled an Island in Greece, Mandothari of Mayan civilization married Ravana in South India, a Pandian princess got married to Korean king and those clans still visit India, Still there are pandian clans living in China as groups, Agathiyar contributed to the Rig Veda hymns in Sanskrit and Thirumoolar from north composed Thirumanthiram in Tamil.

Oh God! make these people see the History through this blog.

Gnani and Nirvaanaa, A two different thing

Today I am going to discuss about Brahma Nirvaanaa. What is this? Is it a person or a specific group of people? People give these titles to specific group, sect and selected people. People relate these terms with a person or religious identity. People don't see these as general concept which describes the state of mind of human beings. What is this state in the mind? Who all can attain this state? Anybody can see this state in their own mind, Anyone, Men or Women, No caste/varna discrimination, No religious discrimination, No rich or poor partiality, but animals cannot see this state of mind, only human beings can see. People in the busy world from early morning to late night work, work and work. Always they do some actions like brushing, bathing, eating, driving, talking, working, thinking, playing, watching and sleeping. When we go to sleep how many get a good, satisfying and deep sleep? Not many* When sleep is not satisfying, then mind is not getting rest and slowly it becomes restless and it grows into accumulated stress. People don't do any action to get raid of this stress from their body and mind. In Ancient times people realized this state of mind and invented an action that can remove stress from the mind. People use to sit and relax and detach from the self and attain a state of mind and that is called brahma nirvaanaa/sunniya. Regular practice of Nirvaanaa removes stress and makes one highly active. In the due course you get happiness in day today activities. Regular attainment of Nirvaanaa brings detachment in actions and that's what Karma yoga is. People might confused and relate it to a state of body without clothes but I am referring a detached state of mind with clothes in body. When you are detached from self then one can see that I and the self which is composition of body and mind is different. That 'I' is called Brahmman that's you. When one detach from the self and see the Brahmman then he/she has attained Brahmma Nirvaanaa. Anybody can attain this status in life. But people confuse with Brahmma Gnani and Brahmma Nirvaanaa, earlier one denotes a person and later one denotes a state of mind. A person who regularly attaining Nirvaanaa is not a Brahmma Gnani. Brahmma Nirvaanis (eg. Buddha) are common in human clans but Brahmma Gnani is very rare, so far in the history of man kind Gnani can only be counted in fingers. People are not able to see Gnani and give recognition in society. When we say count of  Gnanis were in single digit in entire human race, then one should understand what is that status called Brahmma Gnani. People don't celebrate this occurance of Brahmma Gnani. Because people don't know how to identify a Brahmma Gnani. Will people learn the tricks to identify the Brahmma Gnani in future atleast?

Language of Chokkan

Today we are going to discuss the Varna system. All these concept should be seen from a Brahma Gnani's mind, because he is the Shuka who can see the past, present and future so he is called "ShukaBrahma". We need to travel back in time to look at how this Varna system was designed. Why you need a system like Varna? Is it a Caste system? What are the difference between Caste and Varna system? Today this is a political theme to run politics. Leaders play a divide and play policy. There are 2 kinds of people who follow the practices by Manu script. People who merely follow the practice (A) and People who want to understand and live according to the principle said (B). So there are 2 kinds of people A and B clause. 'A' clause can be easily diverted, converted and misdirected. 'B' clause can not be converted or diverted he just play a role and move on. Now 'A' clause is majority people living and have the voice to say anything to public. This clause 'B' is totally clear about what is going on and plays a passive role to the public. So their voice are not heard even though they are correct in their perspective. These are just fundamental principle of the human kind when they live under a Ruler(Dictator) or Political system (Democracy) or in group of people (Socialism). There will be two groups fighting for the Chair. In this fight 'A' will win for 100 years and 'B' will win for next 100 years and this will continue to change for ever in this system. A = Asura and B = Bhairavaa When we say this then One becomes GoRaBhairavaa and other AgoRaBhairavaa. This is just a fight between to two principle of mind. One is Good and another is Bad. This happens inside the mind a fight between the good thoughts and bad thoughts this happens for everyone. A constant fight between good and evil is a non stop thing that is happening when the mind is looking outside world. When we turn this outside looking mind and look for a solution inside then one starts the journey towards the "Chokkan" the hanging lamp without oil or thread. This is the journey everyone need to take.

There was a time when there were no temples on this planet and Tamils were wide spread across the global as a Global civilization. People saw these 'A' and 'B' as just principle that cannot be stop, the fight between Asuras and Devas never ends. Clan heads decided to investigate on what is happening inside the body and mind when one closes the eye and think, Since outer world is easy understood by anyone. Many in the Clan wanted to take it as a challenge and know what is happening inside. Lot of a people started to look inside the body and mind. Days went, months went. years went, nothing was found.  Few Clans started documenting their experiences and gave to the next generation so that the search continues. Many Clans see common principle between each clan and all were not sure about the start and end of the Universe and also start and end of the mind. There is no start and end for the Universe and mind but they both exists without any doubt. Clans started teaching these principles to next generation so other don't have to start from scratch.
So the Guru Parampara begins. One tells about this Universe and Mind to another what is the reality which exists always no matter whoever see this it is all same principle. The Clans had their own document which they follow and these documents are different from each other clans in terms of the achieving the same common goal The Darshan of Chokkan. Slowly the Clans had lot of knowledged persons and there were fight between who is big and what is correct? Then a Time came so that all the Clan heads decided to come to a common platform with their document. All Clan heads came together and brought these in terms of a common language in terms of scripts. Then they came up with language so called Tamil. Because each letter in Tamil an outer expression of inner and outer knowledge. So it is called the Language of the Chokkan who spoke to the Mankind. Everything that Tamil tells is an expression of this Universe and the Mind. Thus the 1st Tamil Sangam was formed under the common principle between the Clans document. Clans were so dedicated to see the Chokkan, they spend years to get a darshan and not all can see him without his wish. But a human being has to eat and live for the survival. So he has to sow the crop, cultivate, exchange with someone and run the family, community and Clan. So each Clan decided to divide this sow, exchange and run the community. Inside each Clan they decide to give the responsibility of sow, exchange and run the community to specific families so they keep the ball rolling (Human kind lives forever) and the Darshan of Chokkan is not disturbed for anyone in the Clan. Anyone wish to see a darshan there is no blocker, one has to follow the document of the Clan and do what has to be done to see the Chokkan. It is a pride for the Clan when one of their people gets the Darshan of Chokkan. Where is Caste here? Where is Varna here? Its just a share of responsibilities so that their Clan can win in the knowledge fight. Will a Sangam era come again? Will the Knowledge fight restart again? Varlaam Varlaam Vaa Bhairavaa Bhairavaa........
