THE DIVINE CHILD

G. Ramaswamy Pillai, a very early devotee of Bhagavan, once made him laugh and laugh. A discussion started on who was greater – Siva or Sakti. Pillai said, “He is contained in SHE!” Sakti lovers were happy. He said, wait a minute “But, there can never be a SHE without a HE!”. That made Bhagavan go into peels of laughter. Is not Bhagavan SIVA and SAKTI like Arunachala ?

The mystery as well as the beauty of God’s creation is that there is the male and female aspect, not only in human beings, but also in animals, birds, plants and trees.

The portrayals of Siva and Sakti in the scriptures emphasise the validity of this truth. In a seeker’s journey towards the Truth, the static male aspect and the dynamic female aspect, with their combined functioning, play a vital part in bringing the seeker’s efforts into full fruition!

The divine Mother holds the key to the kingdom of the eternal Father. The divine Teacher reveals this secret. Whoever wakes up to this eternal Truth, is the divine child.

Arunachala is the divine Father! Ganga Mata is the divine Mother! Guru Ramana is the divine Teacher!

And we? We are the divine child!
