When people from different branches of philosophy asked Kunju Swami questions, he found he had no answers. Many people from Tamil Nadu, especially those who followed the path of Saiva Siddhanta plied him with questions. There was a mutt where they held classes on Saiva Siddhanta, so he decided to go there and learn it. He went to Bhagavan and informed him, “Bhagavan, I am going to this place to learn Saiva Siddhanta.” “Oh! Why?” Bhagavan asked. Kunju Swami replied, “When people come here they have so many questions. If I learn, then I can answer their queries.” “Oh! That is very good, so you are going to learn Saiva Siddhanta so that others’ questions can be answered. Suppose someone comes with questions on Advaita Vedanta, what will you do? You will go and learn Advaita Vedanta and if someone comes and talks to you in Sanskrit, what will you do? You will go and learn Sanskrit. If westerners come to you, speaking in English, how will you answer them? Then will you go and learn English too?” By now Kunju Swami realised what Bhagavan was meaning to impress on him. He said, “Bhagavan, please pardon me. I am not going anywhere. Please teach me. It is only because of love that I want to help the others.” Bhagavan then gave him a gracious look and said, “If you learn to remain in the Heart as ‘I AM’, the answers to any questions that are put to you will emerge like an echo from within and they will be the correct answers. Learn to remain within your Heart as ‘I AM’.”
