Ask
any yogi saint in any corner in India, what leads to the grace of
enlightment and the journey beyond it and in uniformity they will say, 'anna
dhaanam', ie, feeding the stomach fires of humans.
Imagine yourself as a bird that has to find food each day and by divine
grace, you do find the food for the stomach.
The
receiving of food is the sacred act, as though it is the Absolute providing
for our need. Siddhar Raja Swamy says, "feeding the stomach fires of many
creates the transforming grace that makes humans the angel. The dharma act
provoked by sensitivity to other's hunger ignites as a catalyst, the energy
of Source to work in the human reality plane that we are in. Higher yogic
fruits is attainable only through divine grace that we receive."
Most sages live like a bird, not worrying about the next meal and the meal
they receive, they know it is from Source. By our act of providing the meal
to any hungry stomach, we become the divine instrument that allows
the cosmic energies to go back and forth through our human reality plan as
in the receiving and the giving. This allows the 'flow' to happen.
This flow as the random thought of giving and as kindness allows our karmic
human ignorance to dissolve. Pure Yoga is knowing the grace that flows from
action.
