In the 14th Velvi Discourse(2003-2004), Gurumahan Says pain and suffering after Kundalini awakening  or the Gnana Initiation Lead the Seeker Toward Liberation. He urges us to draw inspiration from the lives of Buddha, Jesus, Prophet Muhammad, and the teachings of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and to see suffering as a call to uphold dharma and move towards inner freedom.

In this very birth, you have gained the opportunity to attain liberation. We told you this even before you came to the Velvi. When you lived only in devotion, you did not experience much suffering. But after receiving this wisdom teaching and reaching the Guru, some difficulties may arise. This happens because you must clear the karma of many past births in this one birth. Suffering and sorrow come to awaken you and help you grow to a higher state. In truth, they are not real suffering.
When a woman conceives, she undergoes many hardships for ten months. She lets go of her selfish needs and thinks only about the well-being of the child. She makes many sacrifices. Even after the child is born, she continues to make great efforts to raise the child. Few hardships are greater than this.
In the same way, the yogis and truthful saints who lived in this land of Bharath experienced many hardships. When you look at their lives, you will see that the suffering they endured was far greater than anything you may face in this life. So whenever you face sorrow, remember the great sages who lived before. Think of Buddha. Think of Jesus. Think of Prophet Muhammad. Think of Shankara. When you remember them, you will see that they sacrificed themselves for the welfare of the world and patiently endured many hardships.
They lived for truth and wanted to proclaim that truth to the world. For this, they gave up royal positions, family life, relatives, and worldly comforts. Even when they lived in forests and faced many difficulties, they never abandoned their dharma.
The same message appears in epics like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Instead of debating whether the stories happened exactly as told, we should look at the life principles they teach. Even in times when truth and dharma existed strongly, the heroes faced many hardships but still stood firm in their dharma.
Realised beings say that life is not just a physical life. Life must become a life of dharma. Through you, truth and dharma must once again stand strong in this world.
When people live with dharma, all good things will naturally arise in the world. Humanity must once again follow a life rooted in divine dharma. A world where everyone lives with well-being and happiness should arise.
These spiritual practices and Velvis take place for that purpose. By uplifting yourself, you uplift your family, your society, Bharath, and ultimately the whole world. With this single noble aim, these Velvis are performed.
