Ramalingars immortality
If the physical body starves, the soul loses its strength, A deliberately prolonged state of starvation will not take us to heights of self knowledge and God realization. The Secret of attaining God realization lay therefore not in starvation. With the help of Thirumoolar and Ramalinga , we understand that body is not a bad thing though they have seen the fast – fleeting human system is therefore a conditional requirement for the attainment of divine sublimation. Saint Ramalinga never visualized a strange kind of dicho to my between body and soul. They live in simultaneous co existence. Man is after all, according to Ramalinga a spark from the divine. The long and elaborate process of the unification of man with the divine is the purpose of man which is in other words the attainment of immortality. This is the essence of Ramalingas philosophy. The simultaneous duality of human existence is no longer an instance of witticism to Saint Ramalinga, for the never visualized and envisaged duality in human existence. Body and soul are not two separate departments according to Ramalinga. They are one and the same. Saint RAmalinga was a greater revolutionary philosopher. Because he never saw a distinction between body and soul. The crucial tenor of his thinking is that body and soul may be distinguished but not really.
Sir Bangar, Namaste Maybe I understand your question. What happened with
Ramalinga Swamigal, is that he received God's love, God's light and
God's grace to dissolve all his flesh, bones, blood, hair, tissues, the
etheric body, the astral body, all the energy bodies that we have in the
form of subtle energy, electromagnetic, electronic forms into a body
of PURE GRACE LIGHT, FULL OF LOVE AND COMPASSION AND
TOTAL AWARENESS. How could he do this? God blessed
Vallalar because of his prayers and purity, his virtue and being
perfect yogi. Can you read his heartfelt prayers in Tiruarupta in
Tamil. I can only see the English. Look at the love and devotion.
Vallalar is a living saint, a mahatma, a perfect master who walked
and talked among us in a light body, before he softly disappeared.
In the Bhagavad Gita, we were taught that we have to incarnate
again and again, this samsara BECAUSE we do not become the
perfect yogi and have those virtues of love and unlimited compassion.
So, all the memories and energy from the etheric, astral, mental,
bodies, overseen by our atman, look at our impurity and decide
with God, this person has not graduated from the material plane,
they still have lessons to learn, so that person's subtle bodies,
the energy and karmic lessons to be learned are once again
propelled into another baby body, maybe next time, an ant or a
tiger. Human birth is very rare. So, from what I have studied
so far, we have to pray to the lord, with all our heart, with tears
in our eyes and be very sincere about it and stop being a bad
person, don't even think a lie, don't even think about a mean look,
give up all thoughts of lust, for these things do not exist in the
divine plane and we have to resonate and change our vibratory rate,
to faster, divine purity, so Swamigal gave us the prayer/mantra
arut perun jothi, arut perun jothi, thanip perun karunai,
arut perung jothi. supreme grace light, supreme grace light,
divine compassion, supreme grace light.The subtle bodies when
we live a divine life, become purified and change into light.
The soul, your atman is immortal. It can go anywhere at anytime.
Another parallel universe or be sitting right beside you. The Atman is
already pure and perfect, immortal, the golden embryo, the hiranyagarbha,
so Vallalar glowed golden with the perfection of his Atman embracing
and pervading him completely. The Atman is connected to the physical
body and feeds it through a tube of white and golden light. Many pictures
do not show this, but our chakras all have tubes connecting them to
each other, like umbilical cords connected to a newborn baby. When the
light cord is severed, no more energy goes into the physical body and
the darkness overwhelms us and that is death. When the little personality
and energy turns towards God, the Atman and the Lord bless the little
personality and send more light and love, so the person begins to glow
more. The physical, etheric, astral and mental bodies vibrate more slowly
so appear to be denser, darker, heavier. So, The Atman can come in
and out as much or as little as it wishes. Fly through the air like a bird
and look down on us, or be very near, sitting in your eye or heart or
wherever. The Atman, is a transcendental being, has eyes, hair, arms,
legs, feet, but is a pure light being, a different dimension. Around the Atman
are circles of light, that can glow softly, or radiate so strongly that you
cannot look at it, like a sun exploding. So, when we finish our lessons
in life, we no longer have need for the physical , astral, etheric, and mental
bodies. We just live in our Atman, in the life divine and dance with the
angels and rishis. So, maybe this helps a little. I don't know. Take care.
