A very famous phrase in Tamil and the most important persons for each human in this world is Maata, Pitaa, Guru And Theivam
( Mother, Father, Teacher And God).
Mataa (mother) given the first place of that phrase. The mother's womb is where a complete human body will be made. A human is began to be a complete human in mother's womb and that is why she is the beginning of that phrase. The human get the first food,first home, first care, first love from mother while still inside the womb. When the human is ready to see the world outside he/she will be delivered out with massive pain by the mother. The person awaits outside eagerly to bring him/her up in life is the father.
Pitaa (father) is the second person who will continue what the mother did at the first place. But he will have to do more at outside and not by inside by how mother did. He have to work and get food, provide shelter/home, protect from any kind of danger. He is the man who sacrifice all his dreams to create goals and dreams to his child and uplift him/her to achieve it. On each birth there will be different Mataa (mother) and Pitaa (father) will keep on repeat this scenario. Until the Guru (teaher) arrives in the life of the human.
Guru (Teacher) is the one who free human from rebirth and gives a chance to the human to attain enlightenment and reach to God. This is the Guru which is meant in that phrase. Even tough there will be many gurus in humans life in each birth. Even a tree is a guru when human throw stones, woods towards it, kick it, climb and sit on it but it gives fruit and a place to sit and relax on hot and sunny days. Kids are a very good gurus too, where they live and enjoy life as much as they can, being true and loyal to everyone. If they don't like anyone or anything they can tell very frankly and that 100% truth have its own cuteness that will make us accept it without get hurt or angry. So many words of wisdom by many gurus, philosophers, parents, grandparents, friends, wife/husband and others in each life/birth. All the knowledge attained will be very useful to bring closer to enlightenment. But the Guru which meant in the phrase at the third phrase will only arrived in any one of the birth and there will be no need words but silence can give full knowledge to attain the enlightenment and free from birth.
Theivam (God) awaits us at the fourth or at the last stage of that phrase. Soul is formless.The human body given by maata and pitaa in each birth is according to their own genetics. The very beginning before the human body given, the soul is formless as the Supreme soul which is God. Before the soul get back to its place there will be no craving for the Maya elements which is human body,materials,feelings such as likes,dislikes,anger,lust,greed and so on. The Supreme Soul (God) which is given many forms and names on this earth will be understood by the soul as one God which is formless just like the soul. The soul and the Supreme Soul none other but the same. If the Supreme Soul is the tree, all this while the soul was the wooden doll which made by the tree and roaming on earth until it was identified and sent back to home by the senior which is Guru. Soul backs home. And the perinbam (estacy) flows...................................
Above is not an image showing Hindu God with many heads. But its a symbol shows all the different forms worshiped by Hindu many thousands years ago is actually the same one and only Supreme Soul(God). If other religion and the images/forms was around at that time, this image would have few more heads.
