Mysterious Divine Light
Swami SARAVANAANANDA
25.4.1998.
The nature is abound with vacant space, which has no limits.Though it seemed void, the whole universe and its activities are coming out to final revelation and realisation in human being only.When he is in the full fledged form. From this one can understand that the so called vacant space was not at all void as conceived hitherto,but ever existing filled up with a mysterious Divine light.
The inner power took its growthgradually, while with the aid of the outer light,different forms grew rapidly.In the first instance, material, physical and intellectual forms sprang up in some living beings,Consequent to the mental power, the spiritual soul knowledge led the path to understand the mystic divinity.
On the growth and development of soul knowledge, the mankind is gifted with so many scientific ideas and miraculous yogic powers, which made their followers to keep their heads with high esteem.The so called masters used to do count-less miracles such as receiving the dead and live long life,say even thousands of years and at last merged in oneness of God.
Till now, it was considered that merger is Divinity is the real goal of the soul, and once they got merged, the outer body can be shed away.In other words, their conception was that this body is only a catalytic agent and thus can be thrown away in the long run.This notion is not at all correct.
The supreme god is always one,existing singly and there is no duality in him.In fact it is really a non-dualistic one.But for gaining experience in the practical side, all things are appearing in double state. This is not at all real but only an illusion.After gaining some experience during the short time it existed, the outer form disappears.Again it takes another form and appears on the earth,causing birth and death as a routine that also in rotation.That is why it is called an Illusion.
Without fully understanding this fact, the mankind in a deluded life and birth circle was passing away.The real command of the Lord is not so.So also our true demand is also not to merge in him.Since we are all ever in oneness of him,we have to live for ever in the divine plane.
This eternal life is now understood by a compassionate soul-Saint Ramalingam, who has realised the Truth in full and got it in practical expereince and has propagated the same to the mankind at large. He lived and is lying the philosophy of service he taught. For this he has established three institutions, Dharmasalai,Sathia Gnana sabai and Siddhi Valagam at and near Vadalur.
At Dharmasalai, everybody is fed with alike whether he is poor or rich, as food forms the main part for the sustenance of the body. The Significance of Sathya Gnana Sabai is that everyone should perceive the Supreme Effulgence "Arutperunjyothi" Spotted in between eyebrows and get at the experience of theGrace Light and live for ever.This was dedicated for Universal worship Irrespective of caste, creed and religion.Having gained experience in both these, one has to live from the soul-abode, which has been depicted as Siddhivalagam, where the Saint attained the "Three Dega Siddhi".
The small book which is now publised is the outcome of the real essence of the above facts in a condensed form.As other books it is not one to be read and kept aside.The facts contianed therein have to be digested and nourished in the daily life.Unless this is done, the prophecy of the Saint that," the lord gives me the diction for singing him" will become jeopardised. The intricacies and the real meaning of "DAEIOU" have to be implemented sincierly in the one's life.
There is a Universal concept that the Divine Light is existing everwhere in its full fledged form.But its exposure is realisable only in the perfect Soul of the compasssionate man.When one stands praying before the Light, deprived of his ego and completly surrendered form, its non-dualistic and attribute begins to fill up his entire body, and his life nourished with that.In due course, the entire body gets transformed into that mystic Light form.This body attains Deathlessness.
This Light Divine body becomes the emancipated form of Man and this is termed as "DAEIOU" here.This word represents both God and the Eternal Man in a singular form.This "DAEIOU" Man alone will be living Eternally in Blissful life.
On 4.4.1998, Dr.N.Mahalingam met me and had the opportunity of perusing the manuscript form of the above book.After perusal, he was much impressed with the contents and exclaimed that the book should be brought to day-light as early as possible.Accordingly the book was brought in a typed form and a copy was sent to him.In spite of thick engagements,he has been able to retype the copy, so as to handover the same to the printer for printing, and returned it along with a foreword to be incorporated and a covering letter witha note as follows:
His munificience in this regard is highly apprecaible.I indeed feel that at the time of his 76th Birthday, the publication of this book coincide, symbolishing the number (7+6=13) which even number denoted the 13 syllables in the unique mantra "Arutperunjyothi Thanipperunkarunai" (6+7=13) of the saint Ramalingam.
With this I conclude this preface with an earnest prayer to the Lord Almighty, that all the people of the world observe this "DAEIOU" life and long live in peace and Bliss.
