Thiruvaaimozhi 1.2- here to get upadEsam from NammAzhwAr!

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Dearest sisters and brothers,

 

1. veedumin muRRavum..seimminE.." Leave all attachments to the worldly

things. Then after leaving them, hand over your "athmaa" to the "empiraan"

(my Lord) who owns moksha lOkam, parama padam"

 

2. minnin nilai ila..neerE.."the bodies which house the "athmaa" are like a

flicker, last lesser time than lighting and are not all permanent- Think

and say that and then you think of the Ever-permanent, Emperumaan."

 

3.neer numadhu...illE.."yours, you- such ahankaara, mamakaaram- Remove them

from right at the root level and surrender to the Emperumaan. There is no

equal and better action than that for the "athmaa"."

 

4.illadhum uLLadhum...aRRE..."That Emperumaan's form is there as well as

NOT there; That form is a kinda infinite and unlimited Divine Bliss and

pErAnandham. Hence, remove and put aside the desires for other worldly

things and embrace and hug Emperumaan (tightly)."

 

5.aRRadhu paRRu enil...paRRE.."If the attachments to worldly matters are

removed, atmA can get mOksham. Hate that mOksham too, and deisre and opt

for Bhagavadh vishayam and service and kainkaryam to emperumaan and get

attached to Him"

 

6.paRRu ilan...adangE..." Emperumaan has got no attachments; He exists

everywhere in its full entirety. Hence, you do not get attached to any

other thing and immerse yourself in ALL kinds of kaikanaryams and all sorts

of

service to Emperumaan."

 

7.adanghu ezhil...uLLE..."Barge right into that Bhagavdh vibhoothi (the

Divine Wealth) and see that Bhagavadh vibhoothi which is exquisitely

beautiful in all respects and consider that the entire Wealth belong to

His."

 

8. uLLam urai seyal...odunghE..." Mind, Speech and Action- Weigh and

analyse all these three things and remove any attachment of all these to

"other worldly" things and get cuddled into Emperumaan."

 

9. odungha...eNNE..."If you get yourself cuddled into the thinking of

Emperumaan, then only, attachement to "other" things will go away. (Once

that

is done), then, anticipate (eagerly) for the day when you are going to get

out of this body.(Wow! What a simple pAsuram, - great meanings!-same

mentioned in "saraNAgathi Gadhyam)

 

10. eNN perukku... sErE... "When you start thinking of His GuNAs , they

keep on

expanding and increasing . He has all Great JeevAthmaas in Him; He

has the endless, innumerable kalyANa GuNAs; He is Sriman NARAYANAN. Hold

Sriman Narayanan's Thiruvadi which never desert His bhaktaaLs."

 

11. Thse ten pAsurams out of 1000 Pasurams have got all that is Great and

have been sung ("aruLiya") by NammAzhwAr, who is born in Thirukkurugoor

where beautiful ponds exist."

 

(Excellent Pasurams and deep meanings; (simple to understand). Easy(?) to

practise (just have no attachment to the worldly things and get attached to

Sriya: pathih:- easier said than done, azhwArE!- We are all worms lying

down in rotten dirt; It will take lot of time to get out of this rut.- We

need Your and (Y) our Narayanan's grace and lift to get us out- ALL of US;

There are about 200 of us (Is it right mani?))

 

Regards
