Cosmic Cube is a sign oF change – Vethathiri Maharishi

The world is facing unusual and unprecedented circumstances. As Vethathirians, let us analyze these with the guidance and knowledge imparted by Vethathiri Maharishi to the World. The current 'external' situations have a mirror-effect on our internal life. Swamiji said that to have a clear understanding of the mind, one must trace its origin. So it’s imperative that in this period of 'lock down', let us strive to unlock our inner potential; let this disconnection from other people connect us deeper to our true self; let our inability to visit a temple (or any place of worship) bring us to a state where Divine presence is felt and called forth often; let the chaos outside make us discover the peace within; and May we worry less & less about a virus and be more & more involved with our own ' vibrational-alignment' with vitality & wellbeing.

New Year is also about new ideas (and we normally seem to associate a new year with new resolutions). Swamiji says, any disturbance occurs in two ways, either through our own actions or through the functioning of natural forces.

Let's expand our understanding of self isolation. Just as we take precautions for our body, our mind too needs intervention, safeguards and nourishment. Throughout history, more people have died in epidemics, from fear (of a disease), than the actual disease itself. And all of us have different levels of immunity to varied opinions, thoughts & news in social media. Our ceaseless passion (for social media) is one area which has many of the low-hanging fruits (for our mental well-being) - that is once we decide which tweets, posts, messages & news are to be read / heard / watched versus what has to be avoided / distanced / 'unfollowed' (at least for the time being. Swamiji believed that through natural providence, man is blessed with a worthy body and valuable knowledge. The resources for life on earth are surplus but the selfishness and temperamental mood developed by unchecked ego is spoiling the life.

Nature is the commander and it is giving humanity a chance to rediscover the purpose of life, to rewind through time, recollect the reasons for imbalance and to revisit the process of evolution and connect to Nature in its entirety.

Man was basking at the top of the evolutionary pyramid, drugged with power and greed, ignoring the force of Mother Nature and how much he depends on her every moment of his life, even for survival.

Nature has not only shattered the ego of Man, but is establishing itself as the ultimate balancer. Through lockdown and social distancing, living needs and lifestyle needs are being segregated; the understanding of essentials, comforts and luxury is dawning across classes. While the earth is healing with reduced human interference, let us fully comprehend Swamiji’s Teachings of elevating consciousness, of the omnipresent and all pervasive phenomenon. Exhibiting itself as order of function throughout the Universe. Let us heed Vethathiri Maharishi’s ominous warning: “If Humanity does not mend its ways, the Universal Might will teach a lesson”.

That is the statement he intuitively made just a few hours before the attack on the Twin Towers At least now let us start changing our lives, segregate needs and greed, learn to live in harmony with self, society and Nature, Understand the Cause and Effect system as Divine Law which no one can break without paying a huge price for it. Let our economic, social, political and legal setups be revisited and let wisdom guide us and not brute force. Let leaders of the world get together and draw up a plan for the entire humanity for the welfare of all living beings and not for select few at the cost of everyone including their own downfall.
