Gnani - Siddha - Rishi - Sabdha rishi

1.All the Gods that we worship today are souls
2.who were born in this world as human beings
3.once upon a time and risen to that state.
 
In these lessons I have been dealing with the states of the Gnanis, Siddas, Sages, Rishis and Sabdha Rishis who are our elders guiding us in the right path.
 
By elders I do not mean the people of old age in our time, or those who were born several years before us. We have also lived along with them. Those elders exist even today without our knowing who they are.
 
What is the state of the Gnanis…? A learned man as well as one who has not studied in any school can become a Gnani. Those who cherish high thoughts and realize their self are also Gnanis.
 
There are people even today who have developed their intelligence and realized their self and known about their powers and become Gnanis. In the spiritual path the first state to be attained is that of a Gnani.
 
It is after getting Gnani that people become Siddhas.
1.Those who have reached the stage of a Siddha can with the help of their Gnana
2.know about all the states that are mixed in this air and so all that exists in this world
3.and all the other planets by remaining in one place.
 
What we call by the name of "Siddhis" by which some people perform some magical acts are of a different type. Those people attract some spirit which is roaming about without a body by offering it the type of food it wants and make friendship with the spirit and get done some acts within their capacities.
 
The state of Siddhas are quite different from this.
 
1.A Siddha with the powers that he has acquired knows all the states that exist in this world
2.and also the nature of all the life atoms and in which way they can go to a high state
3.and by mixing with some other state what state will be obtained.
 
It is Siddhas who have found out the use of several medicinal plants and established the science of the “Siddha system of medicine…” They sang praising Lord Siva as a Siddha.
 
The world famous "Kural" was written by a Siddha. The state of a Siddha can be obtained while living with family. This has been proved by Thiruvalluvar who wrote Kural.
 
A real Siddha is one who mixes with the common man and lives with him.
 
There are instances like Jesus, Muhammed Nabi, Buddha who after living in the higher regions for several hundred years have entered some body after its soul had left it and living in that body have done immense good to the people of this world.
 
Today Aiyyappa is a sage who has got into the body of a dead child to reform the people of this world. When he comes out from that state he attains the state of a Rishi.
 
Such are the states of Bhogar and Konganavar. They preserve the same bodies even today without entering into any other body. They absorb some powers and bless all those who pray to them by the name of Muruga. This they do being in the state of a Rishi.
 
The state of Sabdha Rishis is one in which “they remain in the higher regions” and by the power they absorb from Sakthi they execute their duties.
 
Kolama Sabdha Maha Rishi is in this state.
1.To make you know about his state I request him to give me his blessings.
2.With his blessings I will tell you about his state.
 
These Sabdha Rishis have control over everything. All the Gnanis, Sages and Rishis act by the grace of these Sabdha Rishis.
 
They were born as monads in the beginning of the world and they have already tread the path we are now treading and have gone up to that exalted state.
 
It is from the state of the Sabdha Rishis
1.that the disaster or the change that is to take place in this world is being delayed.
2.Still they are trying to guide the people of this world to take them to the mental world.
 
It is only when the minds of the people are free from avarice that they can go to the higher regions. The Sabdha Rishis are so powerful that they can stop the world from rotating.
 
They have adopted all the forces and absorbed them in their eyesight. All the details about their state should not be given out.
 
If the Sabdha Rishis are not there people in this world would have gone down to such a state that they would eat their own race. Today there are some lives which kill and eat their own race. The same state would have spread in all the lives in this world.
 
We have come up to this state only on account of the bakthi that we are having on God since several thousands of years.
 
To follow the path that several great men of the past have already tread and “get their grace” is the only way by which we can raise our soul to a good states.
