Mukthi - salvation/final emancipation
Our Siththars believe that based on the good and bad, one does in his life time, he takes re-birth and faces all the corresponding results either good or bad. It is also considered that this cycle continues until one faces the results for all the sins he performed. To get relieved from all these sins and lead an entirely happy life is known as attaining mukthi.
Attaining mukthi refers to a very high state of achievement. One can attain this state only after a very hard practise and attempts. If we attain success in all the eight stages of yoga, only then we can attain mukthi. We have already seen about it in the previous posts.
Paambaatti Siththar in one of his song has told about a way to attain mukthi. Here is the following song,
திரளான போரில்ஊசி தேடல் போல்முத்தி
thiralaana poariloosi thaeddal poalmuththi
சிக்காது தேசாசார தேசிகர் தம்மால்
sikkaathu thaesaasaara thesigar thammaal
அருளான மூலகுரு அவர் செயலால்
arulaana moolaguru avar seyalaal
ஆனந்தம் கண்டோம் என்று ஆடாய் பாம்பே!
aanantham kanoam enru aadaai paambae!
- பாம்பாட்டிச் சித்தர் (Paambaatti Siththar)
In a war field, where people are fighting with their troops, if we drop a needle and try to search it we may not find it. Like wise it is not easy to attain mukthi. Though we make many hard attempts and practises we cannot attain mukthi very immediately.
Also we need to possess the blessings of all the Siththars and the blessings of guru only we can attain mukthi. Also with their great blessings of them, celebrate the joy says Paambaatti Siththar. The information that one can attain mukthi with the blessings of a guru is a very new one to all of us.
Note:- The greatness of the Paambaatti Siththar's songs are that they are very simpler and easy that anyone can understand. But the sorrowful fact is that we have got only 129 songs of Paambaatti Siththar.
