Follow your conscience


Excerpts from speeches delivered by Siddha Yogi Shri Siva Shankar Baba

 

 

I have always had a unique way of thinking since my childhood. I go along the way my mind leads. I do not follow anyone. Many people ask me, 'Who is your Guru?' to which I reply, 'Pazhani Muruga' (the presiding deity at Pazhani Hills, TamilNadu); that does not mean the Mahaans I visited are fakes. I look upon Muruga as my Guru and have imbibed the qualities that attracted me in the Mahaans. I have been drawn towards various Mahaans - Koti Swami, Rathnagiri Balamuruganadimai Swamigal, Yogi Ram Surat Kumar, SivaPrabhakara Siddha Yogi, to name a few. I have never followed anyone; I do what I feel. I choose the methodologies best suited to the changing perceptions of the society I have come to serve. I do not subscribe to heaven or hell or praise or criticism. I am totally free from desire. And I believe that it is this total freedom that has differentiated me from other spiritual leaders. Most of them have got fettered by various paraphernalia. I am not answerable or accountable to anyone. I do not believe in leading an organization or getting glorified as the formal head of an organization. I do not plan what I will do next. I allow things to take their own shape.

And I am not concerned whether this is right or wrong. I can be happy only when I go life's way, else my system will reject it. This is how my philosophy has been and will always be.

I can talk of myself only. You do not have to follow me. Do what your conscience tells you to. If you find something good in me, imbibe it. Flow along with me; do not follow me. This is how I shaped my life in such a way that I am obliged to none.

My life does not depend on anyone or anything. I do not expect anyone to show me respect. Only if I have any worldly expectation, must I care for anyone's opinion. There is nothing I seek of the world. I do not believe in the false fancies of name, fame or position. And so I am a free bird.
