A Recluse or A King?

Muruga is a Poorna (complete) being. In Pazhani, during the morning time, he is clad in a loin-cloth. During the evenings, after Abhishekam, He is adorned with princely dresses. So, is Muruga a recluse or a king?

He is neither, because He is beyond definition. He is what He pleases. That is why He is a Gnaani. He is a recluse in Pazhani, whereas He is a householder in Thiruthani; also, there are legends of his love for Valli. He is Theivanai’s spouse at Thirupparankunram; does that strike you as bigamy?

The fact is He is neither a recluse nor a householder. He is a Gnaani. He takes on the role of a Guru in Swamimalai, whereas He is fighting with Soorapadman in Thiruchendur. So, is Muruga a gentle person or a rowdy? He is neither; He is nothing.

He, who is able to contain all the qualities and yet, is beyond quality, is the Pooranathuvan. He must know everything; else He cannot become a Gnaani.

Whatever I am today, is thanks to Muruga’s Compassionate Grace and I am very grateful to Him. And now God is my Friend and He looks upon me as His Friend. What else is there to seek of life?
