What Lies Beyond the Outer World: A Journey Within புற உலகத்தை கடந்தது: ஒரு உள்ளுணர்வு பயணம்

Santhosam

Everyone has five senses — sense of touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight. All living beings that possess the five types of perception have these five senses. 


In the *Thirumandiram*, Thirumoolar speaks about perception that goes beyond the physical senses. The knowledge gained through the five physical senses—touch, taste, sound, smell, and sight—is called sensory knowledge. But there is a perception that transcends these senses. That is true understanding, or higher wisdom — known as discerning knowledge (*paguththarivu*) and ultimate truth (*mei arivu*).  Those who have received the initiation through upf possess this discerning knowledge.


In the world, there are two realms — the outer world and the inner world. With our physical eyes, we see the external world and learn about it. In the same way, through inner awareness, we must understand inner knowledge, which is the true knowledge.


The outer world Is made up of five elements: solid matter, liquid matter, heat (or energy), gaseous matter, and ether (space). Beyond this outer world, there is an inner world — the world of the mind, the world of intellect, and the spiritual world. To understand this inner world, inner knowledge is needed. And to gain inner knowledge, inner awareness or true perception is essential.


With the guidance of a true and qualified spiritual teacher, we must attain this true awareness. It is this teacher who initiates the kundalini energy which in turn helps develop and awaken that true knowledge and awareness within us.
