Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 21-04-2012
There is something I would like to say. In spirituality they ask “What is it that should be foregone and what is to be acquired?” Though it is not necessary to go into detail, to some extent I would like to share what I know. Firstly, If you consider what must be foregone it is all evil that should be given up. There is actually a law stating this I would like to say here. There are no exceptions to this rule. Next, all desires must be given up. A desire to reach God is the only exception. Thirdly, all anger, frustration and motives related to the gratification of the five senses must be eradicated. The only exceptions regarding this are to a small extent food and drink.
What we should acquire is very clear. First the right knowledge which leads to wisdom; which in turn leads to the Divine Grace we seek and this ultimately leads to Mukthi or Liberation. This is the order in which it comes. Once your mind is free of the aforesaid negative qualities it becomes available to be immersed in these good qualities. There will be a glow in one’s appearance when one reaches this state of bliss. You will find your mind is steady and is constantly in a state of bliss. This is what is behind the spiritual philosophy of of “foregoing and acquiring”.
