ThirumuRai Series - 681

[Guest guest]

(Dear devotees of the Blissful Perfect,

God bless us in our journey of Bliss.

There have been mails from readers about the font related problems while

reading ThirumuRai Series. Now the series is being posted in unicode format.

Hopefully, this should enable the devotees to read the seires without having to

install any fonts.

thirucciRRambalam

 

Meaning:

But for showering grace to the devotees on whose mind

He wanders, (though) roams around for alms and does not eat!

He has no other wealth! One Who has my words as His words!

The Chief Who holds young crescent on the low lying twined hair!

Cherishing the seat as ilambayankoTTUr, which is the bank where

on the fields the waterfalls bring richly the pearls, gold and gems

that are at the feet of the millet (thinai), is it (His) character to

capture my charm?!

 

Notes:

1. cambandhar in this song defines the act of God.

All that the God is doing is giving Bliss to those devoted.

Apart from that, even when It wanders in play taking alms

or accepting anything for that matter, It has absolutely no

use of the things. Because other than Itself, It needs nothing

as wealth to enjoy!!

This underscores the very important characters of God

a. Being Perfect - needing nothing external

b. Being Fully Merciful - Always, with not even a slightest

exception, showering grace.

Only the God Who is perfect and is not dependent on

anything external can provide Bliss. Also only when It

is full of grace ever, the continuity of Bliss is assured

for the soul. Hail that Lord shiva, the Perfect, Who has

absolutely no use of us, but ever feeding the grace!!

2. "enathurai thanathuraiyAka" is a very important statement

from this thirumuRai.

God is in everything - in all of us. However only those who

are tuned with love and austerity could get to listen to

voice of God. There are those instances where the message

of God is listened, stored/processed and told out. In the next

level, whatever listened is repeated out as it is. However

the shanti pATa in Chandoga upanishad talks of even higher

level.

"ApyAyantu mamANgAni vAk prANaH chakshush shrotramato

balamindriyANi cha sarvANi| sarvam brahmopaniShadaM|"

Here the instruments of speech, sight etc are not at the control

of the individual. They are directly operating under the command

of the Supreme brahman. At this point the words coming out

of the instrument of the individual are directly linked with God.

That becomes, "my words becoming His words".

(So what is the individual doing at this point? The upaniShad

also clarifies that:

"mAaham brahma nirAkuryAm| mA mA brahma nirAkarot|

anirAkaraNamastvanirAkaraNam mE astu|"

The individual is embracing God and God holding tight the

individual, making the job of the individual to enjoy the Bliss!!)

3. pali - alms; punam - field; iruvi - foot of millet plant.
