This soul has come from the celestial World. So it has to finally attain the same celestial world only. But it considers itself as ‘I’ and get indulges into various woes and hardships. To eliminate all these woes and reach the celestial world we must attain knowledge. The one who leads us to knowledge is the guru.
Without guru there is no knowledge and without knowledge there is no salvation.
In the word guru, ‘gu’ refers to darkness and ‘ru’ refers to brightness. Thereby the word guru means the one who removes the darkness of ignorance, inexperience and gives the light of the knowledge.
“Out of the Sathguru’s blessing if we simply try to control our mind we cannot attain the silence that all destine to by anyway, anywhere, anyone” says Ramanar.
Lord Murugan is one who has advised to his own father and became Guru Swamy. Therefore there is no age limit and gender restriction for the guru.
If we identify the fake guru then we can easily identify the real guru.
"குருட்டினை நீக்கும் குருவினைக் கொள்ளார்
kuruttinai neekkum guruvinaik kollaar
குருட்டினை நீக்கா குருவினை கொள்ளுவார்
kuruttinai neekkaa guruvinai kolluvaar
குருடும் குருடும் குருட்டாட்டம் ஆடி
kurudum kurudum kuruttaattam aadi
குருடும் குருடும் குழி விழு மாறே
kurudum kurudum kuzhi vizhu maarae"
- திருமந்திரம் (Thirumanthiram)
"ஆமாது அறியாதோன் மூடன் அதிமூடன்
aamaathi ariyaathoan moodan athimoodan
காமாதி நீங்காக் கலதி கலதிகட்கு
kaamaathi neengaak kalathi kalathikatku
ஆமாறு அசத்துஅறி விப்போன் அறிவிலோன்
aamaaru asaththuari vippoan ariviloan
கோமான் அலன்அசத் தாகும் குரவனே
koamaan alanasath thaagum kuravanae"
- திருமந்திரம் (Thirumanthiram)
The one who thinks of all the unnecessary aspects, their advices will never lead to Siva meditation, it always ends up in bad only. The one who listens to that advice, their mind will spoil. Because of that guru, only bad heads up to the country he lives and to the kingdom also, says Thirumoolar about the fake Guru.
Guru will be like light. He must give light to his disciple. He eliminates the darkness from the disciple. He makes the disciple enlightened. Hence the one who removes all your thoughts, confusions and makes your mind clear he is your right guru says Sattai Muni.
Identifying the person who gives clarity to your mind can be done by your conscience only, and hence it is your conscience who can identify your right guru says Sattai Muni.
From now on let us see the small techniques that the Siththars told regarding the medications.
