A thousand experiences- Sri Matha balu Kanchipuram
X-ray eyes
It was time to offer purnahuti at the conclusion of the
homam, which had been performed in a grand manner. The devotees invited
Periyaval to the yagnasala. Periyaval circumambulated the yagasala and had the
darsan of the consecrated pot of water. The purnahuti would begin as soon as he
gave the green signal.
“The purnahuti need not be performed now, it can be done a
little later” said Periyaval and went in again.
Everyone was taken aback. It was the right moment for the
completion of the yagna. “Why postpone? . Why not do it at once? “ Periyaval called
for an attendant after he withdrew.
“The ghee put aside for purnahuti is not good, it is not
worthy of being offered. Send word for fresh ghee to be brought!”
The attendant made the necessary arrangements and then took
a look at the ghee in the old tin. It had discoloured in reaction to the metal.
Besides seven or eight small creatures
were inide the tin,feasting on its contents. The tin had been placed in a
corner and was only half-full. What was inside with its faults was visible only
to Periyaval’s X-ray eyes? No! It is the svayampraka, the effulgence that is
self-reliant and that which gives the quality of brightness to the very rays of
light!.
