Saint Arunagirinathar who has poured his heart out to Muruga Perumaan is the ideal representation of what surrender to the divine would be. The many forms of surrender that flows through many of the saint's poetic, profound and unconditionally loving representations through many of his written works dating back to many centuries ago in Tamizh is proof of love for the language as well as for Lord Muruga who adorns Tamizh as the symbol of His knowledge and divine superiority.
This kind of love that breaks open the heart of the Muruga devotees is the flow that sparkles with truth, courage, and unmasked emotions. And Arunagirinathar is a skilled artisan who chips away one's inner blocks for the beauty and compassion of Muruga's presence to emerge in oneself. This fluidity which purifies in its flow of emotions, one suppressed feelings, judgements, past hurts, ignorance, and darkness is a path in itself - the means to Lord Muruga's feet being the end.
Is Lord Muruga the blessing behind one's problems, or does He delight in testing a person until there's nothing left but to surrender? Is surrender the last option or is it the break open point of acknowledging one's truth and set it free, whether there be problems or none whatsoever.
Any which way, the visuals that the saint's flow of words evokes is quite unique and a beautiful reminder to stay in the moment to enjoy this divine connection with the Lord.
Broken connections cannot be discarded - they can be repaired, healed, released, and refreshed for more deeper understanding with the other concerned, or simply moving away in order to help oneself release that contact/that acquaintance from one's life.
Connection with another without honesty is a mere shallow relationship, and if one floats or sinks in it, it doesn't matter. Lord Muruga gives all of his loving, sincere devotees to reexamine their basis of faith in Him and wipes clean any surface dirt in the form of shallowness or greed or other ulterior negative motive, if they be the reason behind approaching Muruga.
To Him, His devotees are not set separate or higher or lower no matter what be their past background - He is the same to all. The different ways of wanting to open your heart to experience a closer sense of His guidance within you is a matter of your commitment and the courage to believe in His love for you and vice versa.
He is a balm to those who are constantly plagued by self doubts, anxieties, sadness, anger, fear of uncertainties and generally a life coach to streamlining all these tides in order to not hold back to take the plunge in order to take control and steer clear of your life ahead no matter what comes your way.
The transformation from hurting to the healed is a painful and yet a deeply true one. And I am blessed and lucky to be part of this beautiful journey so far.
