Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 16-09-2010
Today on behalf of the Gods I would like to say something. Please understand it well and follow it. Ishwar has several names as does Lord Narayanan. Some devotees begin to say, “My God is superior to yours!”. As long as you worship God in forms this is not wrong. However to grow further spiritually, you have to go beyond the concept of God’s being represented in forms.
For instance a person may say “Lord Jagadeshwara is more powerful than Lord Jambukeswara” or vice versa depending on the God they are in the habit of worshiping. In the earlier stages of a spiritual aspirant this can be condoned. However if you wish for spiritual advancement and wisdom you have to go beyond this and learn to connect to the formless. You must always believe that Ishwaran or Malavan are the same. Let this be deeply impressed upon your minds! Only then can you realize Lord Shiva and Maha Vishnu are one and the same and you can go to a higher spiritual state. “Hariyum Sivamum Onru|| Ariyadhore Vayil Mannu||” Instead of this I would say “Both are One. The wisdom of one, who does not know this, is equal to dust”. Please understand this and gradually progress beyond the name and form during your worship. Understand that never can Lord Shiva in the form of Jambukeswara be superior or inferior to Lord Shiva in the form of Lord Sundareswaran.
First firmly believe in your minds that “All are One” and then proceed to act. Please remember that more than my telling you, it is on behalf of the Gods that I am conveying this because they see this as a major failing on your part as devotees. This comes not just from me but from the Gods themselves!
