Antharyami

One who is centred in Self is found in all.

                 It was a sunny morning in the temple town of Thiruvannamalai. The town was waking up to its routine except that a man running with half shaven head running into a marriage hall.  The man in dirty clothes and half shaven head and beard would have made anybody think he is a mad person.  He ran straight in to the kitchen of the marriage house and pushed down the boiling soup from the Oven. Without fear he put his hand inside the fire place and pulled out small snakes out of the fire.  What love could do this?

                 How did he know the snakes were inside the fire logs?  This is possible only by a person who is self-realised and always centred in the atman.  One who is centred in Atman is the indweller of all beings, the antharyami.  For the self-realised there is no difference between the snake and human, water and fire and gold and dust.  All are same because he sees only the indweller which is nothing but the same atman.

                 This might appear as wonder and miracle to us. But the man who did this just waked away with out waiting for any explanation.  Such men had walked the earth and still live in Thiruvannamalai.  The yogi is Swami Seshadhri.  People consider him to be an avatar of Goddess Parvathi.
