    There are still such highly spiritual gurus. They may be living like an ordinary person doing job and wear shirt and trouser. They give advise to all but shishyas are decided by them infact a real shishya accidently meets him without any background. These gurus do not expect a single rupee from shishya or any one. I accidently got in touch with such a person & was associated with him for 30 years. So the experiences beyond human understanting is a common thing on this path to which i am a witness.

    Namaskar, Sri M. What I got after watching the episode is that the seeds of spiritualism are to be sown in young couples who are more materialistic prior to marriage and after. Thus it results in birth of manipulative generation who are by default get cut off from world of spirituality and more attached with materialistic life. As such it might be one of the reason that such generation have more IQ than EQ.

    'Why are you here?''To expand life, as life, the universe! For it is, as I am, life!
    I have seen and I see the where, what, how, when and why of all lifes creation and evolution,- Life (God, universe, spirit,.) assigns intent to individual energy entities (cells, organs, molecules, people, groups,.) to survive and to thrive, for collective life (entire universe) to, within its intent, to survive and to thrive. Y e s ! To expand and proliferate.

    VEMPANADU KAYAL 5quatrains composed 9december 1988 uploaded 19 april 2019
    ---------------------------------
    How mobile must the waters be
    That go unruled by will of man
    However bent his thoughts may be
    They help him succeed in his plan .
    The sail was over Kumarakom brine
    That descends a step to run very deep
    (As thoughts do inside my own mind
    When undisturbed are fast asleep )
    Criss-crossing waves that reflect Sun
    By splitting him into million suns
    Are themselves split up into two
    By the motor-boat that passes through .
    And there comes then the Arabian weeds
    Floating with sea-birds that feed ,
    Upon the fishes swimming underneath
    The pride of water that live beneath .
    But once in a while during the rains
    Vempanadu kayal becomes a sea
    And equals ocean to regain
    The glory of Swati Tirunals day .
