Thirumanthiram (Part 4)-Gurudev Sri Swami Brahmananda Giri/திருமந்திரம் (அத்தியாயம் 4)-விளக்க உரை
Thirumanthiram divides the spiritual development of a human soul into four consecutive stages, viz., Sariyai, Kiriyai, Yogam, and Jnanam, wgich can be loosely translated as the path of external worship, the path of idol worship, the path of searching for god in one's body, the accomplishment of the knowledge that I and God are one respectively. In this discourse on Thirumantiram, Gurudev describes the path of external worship or Sariyai. He, pointing to Lord Thirumoola, says that yoga is not mere breathings. It is a complete sadhana which encompasses all the four paths. He speaks by quoting examples of many great erstwhile devotees like Sakkubai, Kurur Amma, Villvamangalam, et al, to show how a devotee was being helped and blessed by the Lord. He also points out the importance of worship of a Godly-form or deity. He says, "God is not a mere void or nothingness as you think. He takes forms as per the intense devotional call of His devotees".
