Dating with God perpetually and internalizing Him

If we share our intimacy with god and just desire and float on His glory and meditate on His praise we will be freed from all evils and ills stemming from the past and current deeds, both good and bad. Once the darkness is dispelled and there is a binding with Him we will be always on song. Embracing God as the most sought after wealth and singing Hiss praise you will be freed from the karmic effects. It is an experience of internalising the attributes of God and locking it up deep into our hearts.


God is one who has broken Himself from all five sensual ego centric pleasures transmitted by body,mouth,eyes, nose and ears. If people adhering to flawless character and virtue embrace God they will live longer for all time to come and also without undergoing birth cycle. Thinking about GOD, praising of Him and adhering to His ways will generate liberation from earthly suffering and the very existence.

Surrendering At The Feet of Almighty

As stated earlier god resides in our hearts. If we remain soaked in love and unselfishness and surrender at the feet of the Lord  we will get an exalted status in life. Famed life will effortlessly follow here on earth now and also later when we exit from earth. You would live perpetually for ever without the bother of returning back again to the earthly plane.


Falling at the feet of the creator who is freed from all likes and dislikes/desire or hatred is really bliss. At no point of time earthly sufferings would envelop you. Praying to the Lord with all sincerity will liberate us  from all devilish desires and hardened hatred. All kinds of suffering flowing from the birth cycle will be simply blown over and vanish into thin air. Just imagine that blissful state  of peace and tranquillity:  no  craving for anything and not despising anything. Shall we pray the Almighty and be thankful to Him.

The pupose of Learning is to know GOD

Those who are well read and also lucky enough to get located and discovered are not only the blessed ones but also the happiest lot. There is a sense of fulfilment of having accomplished something.valluvar asks a simple question; what is the use of learning  many books in life if you do not have an innate  tendency to think about HIM?
This simply means there is no meaning in your accumulated knowledge stemming from books when you do not fall at the FEET of the LORD WHO IS THE ultimate embodiment of knowledge under the sun..
As stated earlier, the beauty of kural is that there is no reference to to the head of the creator but only to the feet and his insistence of falling at HIS feet. - A truly benevolent feet   .That alone will help relieve the pain and put an end to the cycle of birth and death.

This further means the essence of all learning is to know and realise GOD. There is no other  purpose in accumulating knowledge other than knowing Him. What a wonderful way of propagating the secular ideals by making a pointed reference only to the feet and not the head

From Language to Mother to know God

Shall we make a transition from the Language to the Mother. when I say mother i really mean the real mother from whom all of us have come .All of us know that the moment the child comes out of the rosy warmth of the womb it cries gasping for the oxygen to sustain his/her life. Once the comfort of the womb gone ,the well protected environ no longer exists now and the child when placed on the stomach of the mother would crawl slowly towards mother’s milk filled breast and suck the god given Amirtha.Who has taught the child? How does the breast start building up the immune fortress to take care of the child?
Wihin the minutes of birth the child comes under the protective arms of the mother and other relatives. With caesarean operation the common norm  and the nuclear family a way of life, the comfort zone of Joint family hardly exists,
When the child attempts to speak a few months later  among others indescribable sounds, Am or amma  comes out. Foolishly we have substituted the words  Mom or Mummy in the place of God given vernacular tilt of om or Am sound. Of all the sounds agaram sound or the alphabet is  the fundmental and foundational one  and that help build other letters. So like the letter A, - GOD IS THE fountainhead of the entire world.,Vallvar mentions  Adhi and Baghavan to illustrate god or was he referring to mother and father as a symbolic of  god?.

In Thirukkural  there is no mention  of Tamil race or reference to tamil language and also the form of God’s Head  but only reference to HIS feet

The correspondence between the Language and the universe

The entire world is endowed with the continents of varied size and countries are filled with diverse resources –both natural and human. Likewise the inhabitants of the world speak different tongues. Sometime the languages may exist without script and still subsist merely on the  smells and sound of the language itself. Like the currency war there is also a subtle hidden sometimes  open war goes  on between the languages. Be that as it may irrespective of the style and substance ot the languages the common attribute is that they all begin with the principal sound of   A- ,called Agar am in Tamil. No language is an exception to this unwritten rule.

The Vedas and ancient literary treasure in different rich languages would propagate and preach that  A SOUND  is an integral part of the much talked about OM sound. This single letter  A signifies the fact that there  is  only one GOD but known by  different names.

The world must have been created by some force .No one could ever say with clinical precision how and why the universe was created?The origin and history of the Language and Universe have their own mystery and suspense.


One thing, Valluvar is sure enough  that each language begins with the alphabet  A-  so also the whole world begins with GOD .Regardless of HIS NAME OR FORM the fact of the matter is that the entire cosmos is bound together by one vital force love and the magic touch of GOD irrespective of the race colour creed language and the geographical barriers.

GOD IS ALWAYS IN US AND WITH US

We shall address to the question of the abode of god. The oft repeated saying is that God is everywhere and pervades the entire universe. The saintly author also echoes this and goes further that more specially and particularly HE LIVES IN ALLOF US   IN OUR HEARTS. It is strange but true that this simple fact that HE is with us always and  also in us,  we have always tended to forget and hence ignored most of the time. When the all pervasive GOD has incarnated Himself in all of us so as to guide and goad us into action we search for Him elsewhere and more foolish we think that we can buy Him by undertaking special Pooja and donating Him costly gifts as if HE IS CRAVING for it and give boons depending upon the magnitude of gift. We do not undermine or ridicule many who search for the Divine in temples and churches including mosque. The tragedy of life is that many are unaware that He is all the time present in our lotus Heart ready to lend a helping hand and free us from all bother.


Vallvar says that identifying God and realising Him is very simple. You need to just meditate on Him and surrender at his feet and not bothering about the shape of his head or name. It is only we surrender at His feet we will be freed from all kinds of uneasiness depression and despair..Therefore what we need to do is very simple. Understand and identify his presence in our physical system and get attached to Him more firmly and more feverishly .you need not worry about anything in life. It is easier said than done. And yet we must try

Have you seen the GOD?

If we are to surrender and bind ourselves to god  how to find out him? Where is HE? Where does he live?  Can we Ordinary mortals locate Him and position in our mind.  Yes says Valluvar. Before we listen to him a brief digression to the recorded history narrated from memory:

Once when Narendra who was to become swami Vivekananda later, was feverishly in search of seeing God. At that time the wise and benevolent destiny brought him to the feet of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa the saint who believed in idol worship. While Narendra was warmly welcomed with all fondness as The saint was expecting for long, the young man was more sceptical and impatient. He asked the saint: have you seen the God?

Ramakrishna replied: I have not only seen the God but also show Him to you.

If we thumb through the pages of the ancient religious scriptures there is a treasure house of experience of many who have  narrated their godly experiences. Shall  we listen to kural now. Wait I have to type
