The three final stages of Becoming !

There are three stages of Becoming


They are


The Noble End
The Middle End
The Ignoble End



The Noble End is referred to in the Sastras as Uthama Gathi. This happens when a man, saturated with the Beyond, aware of the Great Cosmic Game, seeks transmutation.

The Middle End is preferred by 80% of humanity. A man becomes a clerk, works hard, becomes a manager , marries, begets children. plays with his grand children and then dies. This is called Madhyama Gathi.

The Ignoble End is preferred by those who indulge in criminal acts. This is called Adhama Gathi. A man joins a smuggling gang, enjoys luxurious life, takes the sword and falls by the sword.



As we choose, the Self or the Lord shall fulfill Himself in us. If we choose a Madhyama Gathi, we will have His blessings to become famous in that filed. Similarly with other Gathis.

The problem with Madhyama Gathi is that it is only a transient perfection. It is only a transitory satisfaction and many are happy with such an arrested status.


The pramanam for the three Gathis or the triune stages of Becoming is given in a verse by Bharthrihari.


Santhapta yasi samsthithasya payasu namapi na srooyathe
Mukthakaraday thad eve nalini patrasthitham drishyate
Anta sagar shudhha mouktya pathitham than mouktikam jayate
Prayenadhama madhyamothamajusha evam vidha vrittaya.


When a water drop falls on hot iron, it vanishes
When it falls on a lotus, it stays bright
On an oyster's shell, it becomes a pearl
So is the evolutionary end of ends triune


Initiates feel the upward pull of the Mind most of the times, inspiring them to speak and write about things celestial. The upward movement is the master movement of Nature. The upward pull is that which pulls us from death to immortality and actualises in this mundane plane, the blissful and the luminous Kingdom of Heaven !
