one-with and allows Siva(BEING) to take himself along. This was announcedver)boldly by Appar in his immortal Patikam "flaam yaarkkum kudi alloom: We are NOT
subjectto anyoneand all becausewe have allowed Siva the One who is absolutelyfree
: taanyaarkkum kudi allagtaSangkaran"[11]. What it meansis that only by nearing
and being finally one-with BEING as Siva that we realizeour own intrinsic autonomy.
This the worship of Siva and the pedagogythat He installs in the world, takesthe souls
in the direction of genuine and absolutefreedom This is not simply an ideal. It was
reahzedbyAppar and ahost of other Tamil mystics asyou can seeby studying Sacred
Tami literature. There is no attempt at all to restrict thinking where even Atheism is
allowed. What they do is to allow this freedomto live evenas an Atheist but which they
deconstructto show that it is defectiveand hencesomethingto be passedover.
Spiritual Pedagogyor what is the same,Natural Pedagogyis available as an option in
existencethat lnan is FREE to reject but only at the risk of inviting various kinds of
pains and sufferings.BEING reinforcespositively and Malam negatively so that man
moves in the right way and LEARNS metaphysicaltruths and gets illuminated. There
is no compulsionby BEING but only a HELP. Neglecting to develop and improve by
subscribingto the Natural Pedagogyonly meansthat the souls that opts out falls into
the ways of more Malam and more sufferings.The choice of spiritual pedagogyleads
to great happinessby the inner purity it brings about and makes the soul enjoy the
supremeBLISS. This is again natural and in no way restrictsthe freedom of the soul
only that opting out meansmore pains and sufferings.
It is to the eternal credit of the Sumero-Tamils[5] that so early in the human history
they discoveredthis option and which the historical Tamils have not forgotten. Thus
Suruppak,a name that also occurs in Rig Veda says in his NeRi(nari) dated around
3000 BC that had stated
"Nig-nam kal-kal-en nige me kal kal : Ta. nikaznam kalkaklin nikavee mey kal kal (
you study the happeningsaround,you would really learn truths" . He is also saysthat
if one keepson learningtruths one's eyeswill shinebright and so forth. The Siddhanta
tradition of the Tamils still enshrinesthis pedagogyand becauseof which they have
not allowed scriptural fixations and with that become fanatically religious. The best
of them have always remained OPEN and hence have allowed many religions and
ideologiesflourish in their soil but where they also deconstructedthem if they happen
to false.
Thus it is not an accident that the Siddhanties categorizeunderstandingas Paaca
Njaanam PacuNjaanam and Pati Njaanam which presupposeslearning processesthat
have beentermed asAlpha-LearningBeta- Learning and Gamma-Learning[4].
This Theory of Learning constitutesthe essentialtheoretical foundation of Agamic
Psychology. A11 creatures begin with Alpha-learning, the learning the physical
through their senses.Then they move towards Beta-Learning and which is the self
