PATH OF GRACE LIGHT
complementary aspects
THE FIRST STEP TO GOD
(all form of Life is Sacred)
If you are capable of taking only one step to God, He’ll take thousand steps to you. It hasn’t to be a large step, it’s enough a short step if it is taken with sincere wish and good intention. But we have to be sincere and say you that there is a step that inevitably you must take to start following the Path of the Grace Light: feed on a strict vegetarian diet. Also take a lifestyle avoiding to support the irrational exploitation of natural resources, being absolutely respectful with the environment. And all that by Pure Compassion for the animals and vegetable species, as also for the beings considered like insensitive. All around keep inside a Spark of Divine Life and men aren’t free to snatch it by mere pleasure, even sometimes as a simple demonstration of superiority.
If your aren’t capable of passing in this way, moved by Pure Love, you’ll not be able to follow this Path because the Divine Life cannot sprout there where the existence is maintained on killing million innocent little brothers.
Consider all form of Life as Sacred. Look around and open your eyes to contemplate everything what up today was unnoticed for you. Verify how the other beings of the Creation that you undervalue have also compassionate behaviors not only for the human being but also for other species. But especially don’t forget a question of fundamental importance: the death brings putrefaction and low instincts. Your body must be clean and pure to receive the Grace Light, otherwise only one Spark of this Light might destroy your body more rapidly than a beam. Therefore it will be impossible even that the Grace Light brushes you. This is one of the Essential Truths of Ramalinga’s Teachings.
Also you mustn’t tend to be a greedy nor to feed in excess. Try to feed only the necessary for your sustenance. The body must be light and flexible, the mind must be awaken. The one who follows Ramalinga’s steps mustn’t banish from mind all the men, women and children who die every day because of the famine and the thirst. Make a suitable use of your resources and share them, as far as possible, with those who have nothing. Once again, by Love and Compassion, work for the maintenance of the Life collaborating to all people in the world may have the necessary to survive.
RAMALINGA IS THE WAY
"From now on, the Supreme and Universal Lord of Play, in Compassion begins His new age when the Vast Grace Light shall manifest progressively by and through Me for the happiness of the whole world and only His days of Happiness are ahead".
Ramalinga was accustomed to cover entirely His body with white clothes to avoid that the Light emitted by it would damage those who were staying close to Him, reason by which usually He is represented in this form. Many people don't seem to know that it caused Him a great pain. Instead of staying always away from the most unfortunate, Ramalinga would want running to embrace them, wipe away their tears with His own hands and give them directly inside the True Experience of the Grace Light. He knew that His words were not enough to lead the people to realize this Experience, but they were not physically prepared to stand His proximity. Ramalinga surrender fully His life to God and God blessed Him with the Realization of Deathless Golden Body, but His Infinite Compassion was not permitting to keep that only for Himself, so He made oblation of his Divine Body and dematerialized It to adopt a new Form of Universal Presence, by means of which being able to come closer each one subtlely and help in one's own Evolution opening the Path to Experience and Realize the Grace Light in oneself.
Ramalinga affirmed that God directly appointed Him as the Way to follow the Path of Grace Light, as it is asserted in these poems at the end of Arut Perun Jothi Agaval:
"You have given me the Power and have made me to realize the five universal functions (the totality of the God's Functions) so that the multitudes of beings of the world manage to enter and progress in the Path of Grace Light".
"You have entrusted me to eradicate the afflictions and sufferings of the beings of the world by taking them upon Myself and be delighted with their happiness".
"You have bestowed on me the Grandeur that nobody possesses, neither three Gods of the Trinity, nor the celestial beings, nor Jeevan Muktas (liberated beings), nor Siddhas".
Ramalinga was born like a simple human being, although He had the Mission to go so far as to realize Himself the most sublime State, where Divine Substance and Spirit penetrate entirely human body and soul, divinising them. RAMALINGA IS THE UNION OF DIVINE AND HUMAN NATURE, HE IS THE EMBODIMENT OF THE SUPREME LORD OF LOVE AND COMPASSION, HE IS THE "HUMAN FACE" OF GOD. His disciples didn't go so far as to understand the great privilege which they enjoyed on having been able to be close to the highest Being, since the Divine Nature of Ramalinga was fully manifested to them, without any veil that should hide It apart from the clothes used by Ramalinga to cover His body.
Ramalinga has given recently an instrument of very high value, since it's the Ramalinga Mantra. In addition to it, at the present Ramalinga has Revealed a great relevant thing: the repetition of the Name "RAMALINGA" has to bestow, on who does it with love and humility, very special Graces due to the Merits of the actions carried out by Ramalinga. On having repeated the Name of the One who has merged with God, you are repeating the Name of God himself, and by only one Word you are evoking and summing each and every stages in the Process of Transformation that is the Path of Grace Light. By the simple repetition of His Name, Ramalinga will lead you so that you don't find any impediment to follow this Path, since He isn't one Master else but the One who went through the Path of Grace Light to Its End, levelling all the obstacles by His Passing so that all people would be able to follow It.
To have a direct Knowledge on the Divine demands to be so Pure as Ramalinga was; if it's extremely difficult to realize Mukti, really it's impossible to realize the Deathless Golden Body by oneself. On the other hand, to have a Knowledge on the Divine by means of Ramalinga is slightly accessible to all those who ask for His Grace sincerely, from the deep of their Hearts.
It has been allowed to Sobhaná to experience, in a very intimate and direct way, not only the pain of Ramalinga for not being able to manifest openly His Divine Nature in the past, but also the Infinite Bliss that He feels before those who want to know His Real Nature now. Call Him... do it like a small child would call his Mother to take refuge in her tender arms... Allow Him to take care and guide you directly in the most suitable way for you.
To follow the Path of Grace Light with Ramalinga's Guide is, from the beginning, a joyful experience. It isn't like following other ways of hard penances. This is something that cannot be realized by means of the intellect, carrying out an exhaustive study on Ramalinga's Writings (as many people try to do). Only it can be directly experienced from the Heart, by His Grace.
Ramalinga (dear Father) wants to say you: "TAKE MY HAND AND COME UP TO ME". Who is writting (Sobhaná) gives reliable testimony on this has been the Path she has followed and thereby He has filled her entirely with His Grace Light.
FULL SURRENDER
The Path of Grace Light isn't like those Ways that look for the "ascension" of the human being towards God. Following those Ways, by lengthy and efforted practices (not within reach of all people), only a few get to achieve the Mukti or Liberation, but it is very far from the Aim that Ramalinga Himself realized. The Path of Grace Light isn't a Way of "ascension" but of "descent" of the Divine Light. Go through this Path is within reach of all people, from the most wise to the most ignorant, because doing it depends neither on the capacity of human being nor on one's own means, but on the High Divine Power, full able to cope with every human weakness.
But there is an indispensable condition: the one who follows the Path of Grace Light must be ready to do it seriously, day by day giving oneself up more and more to the Grace Light transforming action. ONLY BY FULL SURRENDER YOU WOULD REALIZE THE FINAL AIM OF THE PATH OF GRACE LIGHT.
Some Masters speak about an understanding among different creeds, which nowadays many people interpret as freedom to follow at the same time diverse Spiritual Teachings (even being opposed amongst themselves), taking from each one what is in accordance with personal preferences. These persons should have to ask themselves if they act in this way because they haven't found the True Path yet, or because they are inconstant and unable to assume a serious spiritual commitment. In one case as in the other, the contentment that they get in carrying out a mix of practices from several creeds is a very poor reward in comparison with the Treasure that God is reserving for them, which they will never reach in this way. It's enough the example given by the great mystics of all religions to understand that only devoting oneself to follow only one Teaching and only one Master is possible come up to the highest spiritual states.
From a human view-point, the understanding amongst different creeds is an utopia, since each one thinks on being in complete possession of the Truth and nobody is prepared to yield recognizing the existence of a more wide Universal Truth, in accordance with which all people could live. Ramalinga tells about overcoming definitively the barriers imposed by religious faith, by means of the acceptance of a lifestyle not based on any creed but on the constant thought of God and Compassion towards all the beings, living completeness in the Service to the Grace Light. This is the unique Path that leads to realize just in this life the Divine Plenitude, in body and soul. Ramalinga affirms:
"My Path is beyond the different religious Traditions and philosophical Movements. My Path goes far beyond that all of them".
Sri Aurobindo and the Mother also spoke about the need of abandon the old belief systems for the advent of a New Humanity. Their Teachings are the most close to Ramalinga's Teachings. These beautiful prayers to the Supreme Being, written by the Mother in 1914, reveal her full surrender: "Allow me to lie down at Your Feet, melt in Your Heart, disappear in You, be amazed in Your Beatitude or rather be only Your servant, without aspiring to anything more. I don't wish, don't look for anything more, I only want to be Your servant... I'm thirsty of Your Conscience, I'm thirsty of an integral Union with You, not in the inaction escaping far from the physical activity, but in the complete, perfect achievement of Your Will. It's necessary that the splendour of Your Supreme Light arises from all the darkness that have swooped down on the Earth".
By True Compassion, the one who goes through the Path of Grace Light hasn't to wish anything for oneself, but to share it fully with all the other beings. This Path wasn't opened for the one who looks only for one's own Liberation, but for the one who wants fervently to turn into a Channel so that all the beings could receive and realize the Grace Light. It isn't the time to live in solitariness, fully immersed in Contemplation, but to be in the middle of the world collaborating actively so that the Divinity may be manifested on the Earth with all Its Splendour.
Don't be afraid in becoming seriously involved, because Ramalinga will take care of each and every of your needs. If the course of your life has to change, it will change... but you must know that in the Path of Grace Light nothing happens in a sudden way, unless you are prepared to assume it. Who is writting this (Sobhana) affirms that all the time Ramalinga has been for her like the most affectionate Father and tender Mother. It's difficult to imagine that such a delicacy could come from the Master who has to lead you steadily through the Path of Grace Light, but really it's so soft and beatific the Energy that comes from the Ramalinga's Divine Presence that you can do nothing but to give yourself up trusting fully in Him. That's why Sobhana asks you for not to be satisfied with "try out" this Path and decide to experience what is to follow It in depth.
THE GRACE LIGHT: BEGINNING AND END OF ALL
From the Grace Light all the Avatars have arisen, all the Holy men and women, all the Deities. It doesn't make sense following the Path of Grace Light and, at the same time, keep on realizing any type of Worshipping ritual dedicated to any of them (like Pujas, Hommas,...), because they are veiled or partial manifestations of the Divine whereas the Grace Light is the Full Manifestation of the Divine (without any veil) and comprises all the Forms and Aspects of the Divine. The one who follows the Path of Grace Light puts into practice a FULL SELF-SURRENDERING, in which the Offering is one’s own Being and the Fire is the Grace Light. This is the highest way to Worship the Divine, where one donates wholly the own being to Ramalinga - who is One with God - moved by Love for Him and Compassion for all the other beings. By Ramalinga Mantra we recognize that Ramalinga is fully identified with the Grace Light, at the same time affirming our deep and sincere wish to be united with Him.
Also it's lacking in sense to commemorate events that took place in the past (relating to above mentioned Divine Incarnations, Avatars, etc.) since more important is the continue Celebration of the Divine Life that arises from the Grace Light, which has no beginning no end but It’s Eternal. Being so trascendental the events happened in Ramalinga’s life, while He was in His physical body, in the Path of Grace Light those events aren’t commemorated, since only there is an Event: that Ramalinga LIVES and He is the WAY so that the Grace Light may descend on you, to fill your body and soul and reside permanently in your Heart. Let's celebrate this Event every day, moment to moment, repeating His Name.
But we still have to go further away. By the Compassion for the million beings in the world that suffer and die because of lacking in resources, there is unacceptable the enormous quantity of money that is invested every day in these rituals and celebrations, as well as in the maintenance of temples, priests, centres of peregrination, etc. Really, in God's Name no one being must be deprived of the necessary to survive. The one who follows the Path of Grace Light must understand that a Heart where God resides is the Most sacred Centre of Peregrination, that there is no more worth Temple that a Pure body full of Grace Light, and that Ramalinga is the unique Way to reach the culmination in this Path.
Equally censurable is that many people have turned the spirituality into prosperous business. They promise so much but behind a dazzling appearance there is simple marketing and unscrupulousness. Recently people have appeared trying to make a profit connecting the Ramalinga’s Teachings with diverse ancestral practices, from other Yoga Ways, and even with practices used by the New Age movements. These persons are demonstrating not to know the real Process that Ramalinga lived through, about which He only revealed a minimal part in His talks and writings. If these persons would experience the above mentioned Process of Transformation (even only partly) they would know that It doesn't keep any relation with the techniques applied by them neither with any other, because this Process IS PERFORMED BY THE DIRECT TRANSFORMING ACTION OF GRACE LIGHT ON THE ONE WHO HAS SURRENDERED TO IT OWN ENTIRE BEING (body and spirit). This Process of Transformation cannot take place in any other way. The Path of Grace Light is higher than any other Way and the one who follows It doesn’t need to spend either one’s own energy or time in learning and practice all these techniques, but all that is used with an exclusive purpose: surrender oneself to the Grace Light more and more every day, being absorbed by It.
The Path of Grace Light isn’t going to give you the "entertainment" that you can find in other Ways. But the "entertainment" DOESN’T GO TO TRANSFORM YOU. Meditate profoundly about this: to obtain a passing contentment you can waste your unique opportunity to enjoy the Eternal Bliss granted by the Grace Light. Leave behind the ephemeral, keep on the Essential. Listen to Ramalinga’s calling and decide to join those persons who are already following the Path of Grace Light from different countries in the world.
THE GRACE LIGHT AND THE SUPREME MASTER
Before the million persons who populate the world and the terrible circumstances in which many people are forced to live, the highest spiritual Masters (who are now in the world) primarily look for the Truth that They teach could come as many people as possible. Those who are following a Master in physical body (man or woman), are proud of it. Nevertheless normally they receive instruction by means of readings on their Master’s Teachings or through other outstanding disciples, not directly from the Master. The direct dealing Master-disciple is impossible to maintain (except in very special cases) and, although the darshan is offered in multitudinous celebrations, in the most of cases the devout only meets their Master by photograph or videos, never in person.
Consequently the situation of the most of people who are following a Master in physical body isn’t different from the situation lived by those who don’t have a Master in physical body. Many keep on hesitating to follow Ramalinga, because He isn’t in physical body, because they cannot read His writings in a language known by them, because there isn’t even any photo of Him... The one who is writting these lines (Sobhana) can affirm that ALL THAT DOESN'T CONSTITUTE ANY IMPEDIMENT to have His direct Guide.
It is necessary to go beyond the physical level, since the body is only a vehicle chosen by the Master for taking a visible manifestation, so that many people could believe in seeing. But the True Master IS NOT the body itself. A True Master is the physical Manifestation of one or more aspects of the Divinity, in more or less veiled form, and the Master himself is the Way to take the disciple up to the Supreme Being. A True Master enjoys Divine Power to be manifested in any Form, visibly or not. Moreover, by the Power of His Grace, the Master directly makes possible the Meeting with the disciple, who never might establish contact with the Divinity manifested in his Master within the limits of physical level. Therefore, the above mentioned Meeting can take place equally if the Master isn’t in physical body.
Ramalinga affirmed that He hasn’t been understood by those disciples who were able to enjoy His physical Presence and direct instruction for years. It turns out to be incredible that, being so close to Him, none was going so far as to have a real Meeting with Ramalinga. Nevertheless, hundred thirty years later, this Meeting has been lived by some persons who are residing much far from India (in Occident).
Also people has a great need of being a part of some group that follows the Teachings of the Master they have chosen. But the fact of belonging to a group and realize activities together ISN’T THE REAL SADHANA. If you haven’t had an intimate Encounter with your Master (through the Internal Guide), all the activities and practices you're carrying out are mere entertainment. The Path of Grace Light has been showed by Ramalinga very recently and it's still not widely well-known, but if you don’t have next to you (physically) any other person who also follows Him IT ISN’T AN OBSTACLE. Ramalinga, in His Divine Body of Universal Presence, is close to the one who follows the Path of Grace Light at every time and place, offering His Protection and Care, which is much further from the support offered by any group to its members. Ramalinga is One with the Lord of Grace Light and by His Body of Universal Presence manifest the Divinity without any veil. The one who follows the Path of Grace Light with Ramalinga’s Guide, truly enjoys the Protection and Care of the Lord of Grace Light Himself.
On the other hand, you have to realize that your spiritual "independence" must be complete. In the circumstances that the world lives at present time, if you depend on a group supporting and, by unforeseen circumstances, that support is snatched you would get lost. Only the one who enjoys the Internal Master’s Guide will be able to follow one's own Spiritual Path in any circumstance and place. The one who is following the Path of Grace Light must be prepared to confront difficult times, to overcome any adversity, without affecting the own Sadhana in any way.
There is no Sadhana equal to another Sadhana, since there is no life equal to another life. Each one’s Sadhana has to be perfectly adjusted to one’s own level of Evolution, and only it's known by the Master. Although you should never have seen your Master (now in a physical body or not), He knows you perfectly and He will guide you step by step across the Way right adapted to you. Nobody apart from your Master is able to do it for you. Others will be able to help you by their own experience, but if truly you want to come to the highest spiritual States first of all you must follow the Internal Guide. There are many who ARE NOT True Masters and, although they feign to have a lot of knowledge, they aren’t capable of waking up the Internal Guide in those who are following them. You must be able to discern by yourself and choose the one who has proved you being a True Master. Be ever in charge relating to your own Sadhana, no other can do it for you.
Follow the Path of Grace Light. Be daring, go far beyond all the limits, drink from the Source which gave rise to everything existent, let the Grace Light to fill your entire being.
THE PATH OF GRACE LIGHT IS A DIVINE FORM
“Path of Grace Light” isn’t a simple concept. Beyond the words, “Path of Grace Light” Itself is a Form of the Grace Light. Ramalinga says about It (at present time):
“On having given It a Name, I have given Divine Form to the Path of Grace Light Itself. This means to say ‘I am the Path’, because the Path of Grace Light has arisen from Me and nothing that arises from Me is different from Me, since I am not different from the Lord of Grace Light. To follow the Path of Grace Light is much more than following other Ways, since the one who follows this Path, surrendering oneself to It fully, constantly enjoys my Presence and the Presence of the Lord of Grace Light”.
The disciple fully surrendered to Ramalinga and His Grace, “feels” in special way the qualities of this Divine Form that is the Path of Grace Light. It might be said that It is like a warm and soft cloak that shelters the disciple from the “inclemencies” of life. Or like a springy carpet that goes been spreading ahead of the disciple, as the devotee makes progresses, eliminating the “obstacles” so that one could surrender oneself more and more fully. Really it seems that the disciple isn’t who walks but the Path of Grace Light is done by Itself.
Nevertheless you mustn’t get a wrong idea, since only the disciple’s full surrendering makes possible that Ramalinga’s Grace performs the marvels previously described. It’s a Path impossible to follow by the fool, the mediocre and the indolent, who are unable to do entire offering of themselves. This Path is done without everything superfluous to go on an unique direction: straightly to the Meeting with the Lord of Grace Light. Those who find pleasure in enjoying the superfluous will not persevere in the Path of Grace Light, because Its “austerity” conceals Its Real Nature from those whose heart is hardened.
By the Grace Light, the one who follows this Path “joins” all the other people who also are doing it, so that the progress of each one is favoured by the progress of all followers. In the Path of Grace Light there are no “individuals” but ALL FOLLOWERS PROGRESS AS ONLY ONE. This is the Path that goes beyond the diversity and the differentiation, this is the PATH OF UNION. Although ones don’t meet others physically, all those who follow the Path of Grace Light live in full communion and brotherhood, residing “together” in the SACRED EARTH OF LIGHT, beautiful and resplendent subtle world that brings forward the “Kingdom of Light in the Earth” on whose advent Ramalinga and others have spoken.
With every new act of selfsurrender, with every new “step”, the one who follows the Path of Grace Light is participating more and more fully in the Life in this Sacred Earth of Light, which have no limit of space or time. This is something that people need to know, because on being possible to follow the Path of Grace Light without need to abandon the own family, work and place of residence, it can create the false appearance of one isn’t introducing substantial changes in own life when one would want to do it, as fruit of the Sadhana that is being carried out. The changes in the earthly level will take place when the opportune time comes, but other Changes of greater transcendency will be carried out as the disciple goes making progress in the Path of Grace Light (of which the disciple will be perfectly conscious). These Changes are the reliable proof on the Path of Grace Light is a Divine Form by which we are led to living through a new existence in the Sacred Earth of Light in Ramalinga’s Presence.
NECTAR OF COMPASSION
Many people follow the Ways of Yoga and diverse religions, but the most of them do it only pursuing one's own Realization. A Ramalinga's follower cannot find satisfaction while other beings suffer because of darkness and ignorance, due to it, with the Lord of Grace Light in one's Heart, the disciple will offer oneself as an instrument so that the Divinity may be manifested in the Earth and the Grace Light comes to everyone. This is the real sense of the search and achievement of Golden Deathless Body: the one who tackles the Path of Grace Light with egoistic purposes will never go so far as to reach Its culmination... on the contrary, the one who humbly puts at Ramalinga's Feet one's entire being (body and spirit), offering oneself as His Instrument for the Transformation of the world, that one will be able to achieve the Final Aim. Neither the most noble deeds, nor prayers, nor spiritual teachings will be enough to satisfy the deep thirst of the Divine that the world endures. Only the Divine Compassion, directly from Heart to Heart, can satisfy this thirst.
In other sections of this website it has been distinguished the great importance of Arut Perun Jothi Agaval, poem written by Ramalinga (at the end of His physical existence) where He describes the process of Transformation of Golden Deathless Body that He realized in Himself. The Agaval is considered as the Jewel of the Thiruarutpa, but a beautiful Gem exists in the Agaval that has remained secret up to the present, being the express Wish of Ramalinga, on having revealed us (very recently) its existence, that it may be known and widely spreaded. This Gem, which is PURE NECTAR OF COMPASSION, is composed by the number of verses (of the Agaval) written by Ramalinga in Praise of the Divine Compassion, which is the Essence of the Path of Grace Light. The Supreme Compassion is the Transforming Power of the Grace Light.
In a very special way we recommend to those who are following the Path of Grace Light the thorough reading of the above mentioned verses, called “THE AGAVAL OF COMPASSION”. It's a question neither of reciting them mechanically, nor of doing a mental analysis on their meaning, but of reading with Devotion and Love leaving the verses by themselves to penetrate delicately one's Heart and make Divine Compassion to arise. Many people could have managed to see the Light, but if Compassion doesn't glisten in their Hearts really they haven't achieved anything. The Path of Grace Light is the Path of Supreme Compassion that goes further beyond other Ways.
If you want to progress in the Path of Grace Light, don't look for yourself only but for sharing entirely with the other beings quite all you may receive by Ramaling's Grace. The Highest Happiness is reserved to the one who follows this Path moved by the deep wish of entering in Full Communion with All. The Supreme Compassion is signaled by Ramalinga as THE POWER THAT HAS TO LEAD THE DISCIPLE UP TO THE FINAL AIM OF THE PATH OF GRACE LIGHT, REACHING THE GOLDEN DEATHLESS BODY IN THIS MANNER.
* * * * * * *
Sobhana speaks about Supreme Compassion:
“Those who follow devoutly the Path of Grace Light soon may experience how, by Ramalinga's Grace, the Supreme Compassion enters their Hearts and goes filling them little by little, knowing by themselves that never before they had felt anything similar. For many charitable works that they could have done, for many hours that they could have spent praying for the good of others, for much that they could have spoken to others about Love and Brotherhood... all that is nothing in comparison with what they are called to do for the other beings now by Supreme Compassion.
The Supreme Compassion doesn't make any distinction among a human being, an animal, a tree or a stone, because everything has arisen from the Grace Light, everything keeps inside a seed of Divine Life and deserves to receive help and consolation. Those who follow the Path of Grace Light notice how their particular world, which till now was limited to the most close, is opened to receive all those who suffer because of the misery, the pain, the illness and the death. This is so extraordinary! One simply becomes dissolved in Love and notices how the River of Compassion runs from one's Heart coming up to the last corner of the world, touching even the most insignificant being. It happens really in this way! Those who follow the Path of Grace Light will keep on telling the Truth without fear, doing good deeds and praying (anonymously and without waiting for anything in return), but more than anything else they will be surrendering one's own being (more and more every day) so that the Grace Light should scatter over the world and should come to everyone, experiencing the Bliss of feeling their Hearts full of Supreme Compassion.
Love... love everyone... love simply... love with the Love that Ramalinga bestows... love beyond the imaginable... and experience how, on making it, little by little one is getting rid of fondness for the worldly, leaving behind ambitions and projects that are already worthless compared to this Treasure of incalculable value that is the Supreme Compassion. Those who have followed more deeply the Path of Grace Light don't feel overwhelmed by affairs that worry to others (as having a family, a house and a good job), because of they know that Ramalinga looks after them attentively and they are lacking of nothing. The one who follows Ramalinga seeks neither for one's own comfort nor benefit, seeks neither for fame nor power, but humbly will ask Him for the honor of being considered as worthy of turning into His Instrument. Nothing has higher value for a Ramalinga's disciple than devoting one's own life so that everyone may receive the Grace Light in the Heart!
YOU WILL REACH THE REAL HAPPINESS WHEN YOU STOP SEEKING IT FOR YOURSELF AND ONLY LONG FOR ALL THE OTHER BEINGS MAY BE HAPPY. It will impel you up to the Final Aim of the Path of Grace Light".
PARANADA
(the Divine Sound)
Many people relate Divine Sound to Sacred Chanting and recitation of Mantras, but the truth is that ‘Nada’ and ‘Paranada’ are far beyond all sounds. These Divine Sounds cannot be listened through ears, but only the internal being can perceive them as they arise from the very Divine Source. Neither the most delicate voice nor the most perfect instruments can be equated in beauty with the Divine Sounds. ‘Nada’ and ‘Paranada’ are fundamental in the Path of Grace Light.
Many yogis and sadhakas repeat certain Mantras millions times, but it can be said that their sadhana will not bear fruit until the Divine Sound should not appear. The recitation and chanting of Mantras can lead one to listen the ‘Nada’, but the one who enjoys this Celestial Music only wants to remain spellbound hearing It, it isn’t enough to be merely centred on recitation and chanting and no other sound is agreeable. On the other hand, a beautiful musical composition can turn out to be touching, but ‘Nada’ not only touches but transforms deeply the one who listens to It, guiding the disciple rightly to the Infinite Spaces where the Supreme Lord resides. The ‘Nada’ accompanies the one who follows devoutly the Path of Grace Light from the time when the disciple is touched by the Grace Light. There are different types of ‘Nadas’, which are manifested depending on the spiritual level reached by the disciple. The ‘Nada’ can be perceived at the same time that one listens to other sounds through ears, but this is something that uniquely the one who has realized the ‘Nada’ is able to distinguish. The most deep and revealing experience on ‘Nada’ occurs in Meditation and Silence.
When definitively Ramalinga and the Lord of Grace Light (those who are One and The Same) reside in the disciple’s Heart, their Presence fill entirely the devout's being and make the ‘Paranada’ to arise. The ‘Paranada’ is the very Voice of the Supreme Guru in the form of the highest Vibration. The Divine Mysteries that only the Supreme Guru knows are revealed by realizing internally them in a direct way, which happens when the disciple opens one’s own being entirely to experience the ‘Paranada’. It is difficult try to describe the ‘Nada’, but the 'Paranada' is indescribable. It may happen that one continues perceiving different ‘Nada’ accompanying the ‘Paranada’, but the purest Vibration never will leave the disciple at every time, maintaining the devout in intimate Communion with the Divine.
‘Nada’ and ‘Paranada’ resound beyond the apparent limits of disciple’s own body and spread around as Ramalinga’s Blessings. The one who follows the Path of Grace Light knows the short power of own voice, own thought, own will, and knows that beyond where those may come the Divine Sound prevails manifesting through one’s own being Its Power to transform the Earth. To fill the world with Melodies (Mantra chantings) is completely insufficient to silence the deafening noise of machines and the lamentations of those who suffer, as well as to fight the negative effects of such vibrations. The greatest desire of the follower of the Path of Grace Light who knows the ‘Nada’ is surrender more and more to this Experience and go so far as to realize the ‘Paranada’, not only for oneself but so that through one’s being the Divine Sound arised from the Grace Light restores the Purest Vibrations on the Earth.
Sobhana says: “Till now other reasons have been given so that you don't settle in recitating and chanting Mantras and Sacred Texts, now the fundamental motive is given so that you don’t rest up to come to the Divine Original Sound, the most Pure and Powerful, from which all the other sounds have arised. Nothing is comparable to the Presence of the Divine manifested in the supremely sublime forms of ‘Nada’ and ‘Paranada’. On having experienced the ‘Paranada’ one feels so high bliss that loses entirely the consciousness on oneself and keeps on being totally submitted to the embrace of the Loved (Supreme Guru). Light is Sound, Sound is Light. Following One you will come to the Other, and by One and Other you'll achieve the full Fusion with the Lord of Grace Light. Don’t settle for the lowest, aspire to reach the Highest, since It has been put within your reach by Ramalinga”.
