06/09/14 ம் தேதி காலை 6 மணியளவில் பஞ்சேந்திரிய தவம் செய்த பிறகு வட அமெரிக்க மாகாணங்களில் வாழும் அன்பர்களுக்காக கொடுக்கப்பட்ட சிந்தனை விருந்து ( Through SKYPE ) Food for thought given on 06/09/2014 at 6 AM after Panchendriyam meditation for the aspirants living in the northern states of USA. ( through SKYPE ) Vazga Vaiyagam ! Vazga Valamudan ! Be Blessed by the Divine ! In the last session we have discussed about the explanation given by Vethathiti Maharishi about “Yoga as a Science”. Now in this session we see what is his explanation on Yoga as an Art. We know that all our problems in life can be solved only by Yoga and we are practicing it, because it brings one peace, prosperity, health and wealth. Yoga keeps ones mind awake. The state of awareness will not allow one to commit mistake and if there is no mistake that leads to a peaceful state.And one who achieved this through self-punishment he can always avoid the causes for the worry. The word `Culture` is from the Sanskrit word ‘Calacher’. The same word is pronounced in English as `Culture`. In Tamil it is` கலாச்சாரம்` If we divide the word `Calacher` (i.e) Cala + Acher, we will get the meaning that ‘Acher’ is truthfulness, Discipline, precision and etc. ‘Cala’ is art. Culture means the art of being truthful to the Self to the Society and to the Almighty. Be a human one must humane. Human leads to humane. Humanity means live with culture, civilized or developed life. Art is the expression of beauty. It is the expression of a cabability.Art is creation; creation by all the five faculties. Creator and the onlookers all enjoy creations. A cook is also a creative person. He creates a taste, a smell and gives a shape to many natural ingredients. Man saw a peacock dancing, he tried to imitate it and dance evolved there. Another person saw a cuckoo singing and tried to imitate it. Tunes evolved in this manner. Tamil peot Kannadasan has written a poem. பறவையைக் கண்டான் விமானம் படைத்தான். எதிரொலி கண்டான் வானொலி படைத்தான். எதனைக் கண்டான் மனிதனைப் படைத்தான். Man witnessed birds are flying, he invented Aeroplane, he, heard the sound of echo and discovered radio. But God discovered man for what ? he asks. To create a culture of understanding himself He created us. To realize the truth, to realize the self. Yogis who attained the eternal bliss by following a pattern tried to teach them to others with precision, which became the art of Yoga or the art of mental health. Yoga is part of the life. It cannot be separated from life. Yogic practices tell the way of life, how to lead a life is Yoga. It is an art. Once the man realizes the greatness of his own self his life becomes complete. Man reaches this peak only after overcoming all sufferings. When a man begins to respect his consciousness following all good principles, he begins to respect everything and everyone around him. This is why we call Yoga an art and more than that we believe that life is art. With this we will conclude the thought to day. Vazga Vaiyagam ! Vazga Valamudan !
