The journey of a child starts from mud/sand. For example, when we
take the children for relaxation to the beach, we may notice that they
start playing with the sand creating many things. They create mountain,
park, idols, etc. Some children make Pillaiyar. While one child makes a
thing, other child destroys it in fun. That is how, the journey towards
suffering and death comes as no surprise. Apparently the children
has no freedom and love in creation that does not embrace their thinking
at times. While the parents feel that let them get involved and know
what is what. That is the light of their mind awareness. It is not only
a beginning of creation, but sometimes it becomes an end too. Thus,
the sand and mud becomes a light of awareness through their play.
One can see their joy, if everything goes according to their desire. The
Supreme Power has created the earth and HE looks upon it as to what
is happening. Man can make living creatures out of mud, for e.g. pyramids,
some monuments, etc. Every creation has a purpose to educate us.
During Vinayaka Chaturthi, we specially buy a Pillaiyar made out of mud
for worshiping or doing Puja. It has its own sanctity. Some look for a
better a mould. Some go around for a good one. When someone has purchased
a piece, he/she feels nice and very nice, and goes around to the same shop.
HE creates everything from the mud. In olden days, everyone lived only in mud houses.
It is HIS wish that HE gave an inspiration to everyone to construct a mud house
initially. It helped everyone to understand who we are and how we are and yet
everyone lived comfortably, rather quiet and excited. The Supreme Power
is just like a light house, and it does not move over an area looking for boats
to protect them but it just stands at one place; at the beach illuminating
its light as a guide. Thus the Supreme Power is a guide to us and it is
for us to reach it with good thinking and good deeds.
