People are heading towards Parama Puruśa (The Supreme Consciousness) through their devotion. The microcosmic point is heading towards the nuclear point of Parama Puruśa. The closer it comes, the more it realizes the proximity of the Macrocosmic nucleus and the more the nature of the point changes. The closer a drop of water moves towards the sun, the more it is transformed into vapour. When it nears the sun, it no longer remains a drop of water but becomes transformed into a mass of fire.
Let us use a better analogy. A block of iron advances towards the sun. When it nears the sun it loses its solidarity and is converted into molten iron. It melts due to its closeness to the sun. When it comes even closer, it changes from molten iron into gaseous iron. When it comes into closest proximity to the sun it becomes one with the sun as the iron turns into a purely luminous mass. Its existence can no longer be separated from the sun.
In the beginning the microcosmic point possesses only microscopic qualities. The more the sádhaka advances, the more his or her qualities change. In the process, when one comes into close proximity with the Macrocosmic nucleus, one loses one’s former qualities and assumes the qualities of the object of ideation. When the microcosmic point comes into close proximity to the Macrocosmic nucleus, there can no longer remain two points. They merge into one, the Macrocosmic point. The unit entity will merge with the Supreme Consciousness. In the end there is no dualism. Dualism cannot survive.
(Namámi Krśńasundaram, 150
The unit entities, the Jiivas, are compelled to act under the impact of two personalities. One is the small “I” which craves to accumulate so many things, big or small, and give so many things to society. The small “I” creates a world of its own centring around that little “I”, a world of illusion wherein the small “I” is entrapped and where it considers itself to be the supreme monarch.
Simultaneously, there is a larger world, the much larger world of Parama Puruśa, a world where the small “I” is a mere bubble. All the hopes and aspirations, all the desires and urges of that insignificant bubble residing within the vast mind of Parama attain supreme fulfilment only at the time when it merges itself in the main stream of the Cosmic flow. Otherwise, individual hopes and desires remain forever unfulfilled and unrealized. Human beings cherish thousands of desires in their hearts, but those desires generally remain unfulfilled because the waves of individual human desires do not maintain parallelism with the waves of the Cosmic desire.
(Namámi Krśńasundaram, 41)
To willingly subject oneself to humiliation without protest, to tolerate injustice and accept all the agonies of exploitation as divine providence without resistance, is not the mark of a good person. The characteristic of good people is to fight against injustice, to firmly adhere to truth and righteousness, to protect the helpless and fight against all evil persons. Those who are merely simple and are of a meek and goody-goody nature are not good people.
