The Al-Rajajil Standing Stones…
Message for the Day…” Do not be afraid of reaching the goal of liberation (Moksha). Do not conceive that stage as a calamity. Liberation indeed is the end of all calamities.”
Ignorance can be cured only by knowledge; darkness can be destroyed only by light. No amount of argument, threat or persuasion can compel darkness to move away. A flash of light is enough to destroy years of darkness! The light is already there in you. But since it is heavily overladen by repressing factors, it cannot reveal itself. Prepare yourself for that flash of illumination! Everyone must achieve it, whether one is striving for it now or not. It is the inevitable end to everyone’s struggles, the goal to which every being, knowingly or unknowingly is proceeding. Do not be afraid of reaching the goal of liberation (Moksha). Do not conceive that stage as a calamity. Liberation indeed is the end of all calamities. It is death to all grief – grief that you will be born again. It is the birth of joy, a joy that knows no decline!

The Rosetta Disk: Preserving The World’s Languages…
Message for the Day…”Service to God is Devotion…”
Devotion (Bhakti) is the highest form of Love. “Service to God is Devotion” say the Scriptures. Devotion means constant contemplation of God. The term Bhakti is derived from the root Bhaj meaning to worship. Devotion means loving contemplation of God, repetition of His Name, worshipping Him and doing penance for Him. Service to the Lord is the highest expression of devotion. There is nothing that is not attainable through loving service to the Divine. Devotion does not mean merely doing bhajans or performing puja. These forms of devotion at present are based on some kind of self-interest and self-seeking. True devotion should be an expression of love from within. Devotion is not something to be proclaimed or demonstrated. True devotion must be free from selfishness of all kinds. Exhibitionistic devotion will definitely result in disaster.

Message for the Day…”You are the formless (Nirakara) infinite, taking the form of a finite human (Naraakara). You are the Absolute, pretending to be the Relative; you are the Self, pretending to be the body! The Universal Self (Atma) is the basis for all the beings.”
You are the formless (Nirakara) infinite, taking the form of a finite human (Naraakara). You are the Absolute, pretending to be the Relative; you are the Self, pretending to be the body! The Universal Self (Atma) is the basis for all the beings. The sky was there before houses were built under it; the sky penetrated and pervaded them! The houses crumbled and became heaps and mounds over time, but the sky was not affected at all! So too, the Atma pervades the body and subsists even when the body is reduced to dust. The same inexplicable and invisible electric current when it enters a bulb, a fan, a stove, a cooler or a sprayer, activates each one of them or even all of them together! So too, the Divine Principle activates all beings (Ishwara Sarva Bhutanam). That is the inner core, the Divine Spark, more minute than the minutest, more magnificent than the most magnificent!

வாரம் ஒரு கவிதை …” சூரிய தாகம் “
சூரிய தாகம்
————–
சுள்ளென்று எரிக்கும் சூரியனின் தாக்கம் தெரியும்
அது என்ன சூரிய தாகம் ? சூரியனுக்கே தாகமா !
இல்லை தாகம், சூரிய வெப்பம் தாக்கும் பூமிக்கா ?
தாகம் பூமிக்கு மட்டும் அல்ல … சூரியனுக்கும் இருக்கு !
மண்ணில் உள்ள நீர் மனிதனுக்கு மட்டுமல்ல சொந்தம் !
விண்ணில் உள்ள மேகத்துக்கும் அதுதானே நீராகாரம் !
மண்ணிலிருந்து நீர் உறிஞ்சி வெண் மேகம் நெய்து
கொடுக்கும் கரு மழை மேக புத்தாடை சூரியனுக்கு
ஒரு பட்டாடை ! கதிரவன் அவன் தாகம் தீர்க்கும்
தண்ணீர் பந்தலும் அதுவே !
விண்ணின் தண்ணீர் பந்தல் அள்ளி வழங்கும்
கொடையே இந்த மண்ணுக்கு துள்ளி வரும் மழை !
மண்ணுக்கு துள்ளி வரும் மழை நீரை வரவேற்க
ஏரி குளம் ஒன்றும் இல்லையே நம் மண்ணில் இன்று !
மண்ணுக்கு குடை பிடித்து கருமேக மழைப்
பொழிவை வழி காட்டி வரவேற்கும் மரம்,
கானகமும் கண்ணில் படவில்லையே இன்று !
வரிசை கட்டி வானம் தொடும் கட்டிடங்கள்தான்
தெரியுது கண்ணுக்கு எட்டும் தூரம் மட்டும் !
வீட்டுக்கு ஒரு மரம் வளர்ப்போம் ! ஏரி குளம்
அருமை புரிந்து நம் மண்ணின் நீர் வளம்
காப்போம் !
மரம் வளர்த்து நீர் வளம் பெருக்கினால்
தீரும் அந்த சூரிய தாகம் !
சூரிய தாகம் தணிந்தால் தீரும் இந்த மண்ணின்
தண்ணீர் தாகம் தன்னால் !

Message for the Day…”Only when you sacrifice the egoistic pride at the altar of the Divine, can you discover your true nature. This dedication of your pure and loving heart to God is the first step in the spiritual journey.”
Dedication means offering. You all offer flowers to the Lord. Flowers symbolise your heart. When you offer the flower of your heart to God, it should be free from the pests of desire, hatred, envy, greed, etc. So, ask yourself, is the flower of your heart pure or infested? Is it free from Self-conceit (Ahamkara) and envy (Asuya)? Self-conceit is the biggest barrier between you and God, and is based on eight different factors: Physical prowess, birth, scholarship, beauty, power and penance. As long as a trace of this self-conceit is predominant, it is impossible to recognise the Divine or realize your innate reality. Pride of wealth very quickly brings about your downfall. So carefully demolish these completely. Only when you sacrifice the egoistic pride at the altar of the Divine, can you discover your true nature. This dedication of your pure and loving heart to God is the first step in the spiritual journey.
