State of No-Reincarnation

Author: தோழி / Labels: ,

In today’s life where the money is given more prominence, the human values are least bothered. The wants pertaining to our external sources are given more importance compared to the wants that our heart desires.  There is no use of worrying about it after the days pass.

The thought that money could by everything is prevailing among most of us. Hence all of them are rushing to fill the money in the temple hundis as a pay to the sin they committed.

It is considered by the Siththars that the start and end goal for the “true realization” and “true wisdom” is attaining the state of no-reincarnation only. The reason for all those karmas are the interest that human show for all his external sources than for himself. The Siththars believed that as a result of all these only the birth of human takes place.

Also they say that it is the reason for all the good and bad deeds that we face in our life time. He compares it to the following saying: having him as son is your fate and having you as his father is the fate of your son.

Pattinaththar has wrote so many songs about this state of no-reincarnation.  Most of his songs are based on the mind’s feelings. His songs say that leaving all the pleasure from external and by thinking about the supreme being in mind makes our life better.

"ஊட்டுவிப்பானும் உறங்குவிப்பானும் இங்கு ஒன்றோடொன்றை
oottuvippaanum uranguvippaanum ingu onroadonrai
மூட்டுவிப் பானும் முயங்குவிப் பானும் முயன்றவினை
moottuvip paanum muyanguvip paanum muyanravinai
காட்டுவிப் பானும் இருவினைப் பாசக் கயிற்றின் வழி
kaattuvip paanum iruvinaip paasak kayitrin vazi
ஆட்டுவிப்பானும் ஒருவன் உண்டேதில்லை அம்பலத்தே!
aattuvippaanum oruvan undaethillai ambalaththae!"

- பட்டினத்தார் (Pattinaththar)

To face all the consequences that we have did in our previous birth only, we take this re-birth. It is the reason for all the good and bad deeds that we face in our life time. Being born as a Human is a rare thing and we have to utilize this by concentrating on good thoughts and actions. So that we can get rid of the karmas.

Thiruvalluvar has also told a kural that speaks about this.

"வேண்டுங்கால் வேண்டும் பிறவாமை மற்றது
vaendungaal vaendum piravaamai matrathu
வேண்டாமை வேண்ட வரும்
vaendaamai vaenda varum."

-திருவள்ளுவர் (Thiruvalluvar)

We may get this state of no re-incarnation only when we desire for it. And we get that sate only when we lose the desire for all our wants.
