Secret of Fulfillment
(The Secret of Tapas)
Amarakavi Ramachandra
107 Big Street, Triplicane, Madras – 5
The book
reveals the secret of self-fulfillment as experienced by the author in the
“periods of deepest illumination”. These
moments of pervasive intuition are the state of “Nishta” or that of the “Vacant
Look” where common human perception is surpassed and cosmic consciousness
achieved.
The author
in this book explores the inner recesses of the self to show its ultimate
oneness with the plenitude of cosmic being.
His is not an exhortation for renunciation or rejection of the
phenomenal world. He aims of bringing
back the perfected soul to the world of everyday existence.
Amarakavi’s
Sadhana (process of penance) is to silence thought and awaken and help the
physical to an awareness of its dimensions.
The individual ‘Sadhak’ sets out on the high seas of ‘tapas’ (penance)
by three stages. The aspirant begins his
journey by awareness of what he is in himself truly and fully. Thereafter he proceeds
on the path of perfection through consolidation of himself. When the consolidation is complete, he
attains the state of that essential identity of his being with the cosmic
source and all that there is anywhere in any sense.
Keats
said “this world is the valley of soul-making”.
Amarakavi says “this world is the theater for soul-discovery” through
the whisper of intuition, the voice of mental silence. The divine principle in one’s nature
unfailingly indicates the way of “nature’s cruises with the
eternal”. The practical philosophy of
Amarakavi shows the way of achieving “that peace which passeth
understanding”. The troubled world is in
dire need of Amarakavi’s magnificent message, and men everywhere eager for
eternal bliss, should listen to his clarion call as set out so clearly and
convincingly in “The Secret of Tapas”.
