Mumookshapadi -Thirumantra Prakaranam Part-VIII

[Guest guest]

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Venkata gurave Nama:

 

Respected Swamin,

 

In the last post we mentioned that Piratti stands between us(Chetanas)

and Lord hence we are protected by a such Lord in whose Company Piratti is

always present.

 

We will proceed to the next rahasyams :

 

44. Since all the chetanas are servants of Lord, they automatically become

servants of Piratti as well.

It is like when a slave is taken for slavery in a household, though he would be

contracted to work for the "Master" he will also work for "His Master's Wife"

similarly.

 

45. Hence we should not consider Piratti and the Lord as different entities.

 

46. Piratti and Lord are like

a. Fragrance and Flower

b. rays and the Sun .

 

Both cannot be separated from each other.

 

47. Hence this Union is spontaneous.

(Note that Surpanaka yearned from Rama without Seetha and Ravana wanted Seetha

without Rama.

What happened to them are known well!)

 

48 to 51.

Here Swami Pillai Lokachar gives some semantic and

grammatical explanation on how the Akaram "A" along with "Aya" in "NarayanAYA"

signifies the total Servitude to Lord.

 

52. Being in Servitude to someone is always looked upon as misery in this world.

If that so, how can Servitude to

Lord could be Joyous?

 

53. It is of course Joyous confirms Swami Pillai Lokachar. even in this world,

if we act as

servants to those people whom we love, do we not enjoy that?

(are we not happy to do carry out some thing "ordered" by Children or spouse

etc.. in a Servant mentality . It is similar to that)

Here Vyakayana Karta Sri Manavala Mamuni quotes the "Panimin thiruvarul" Pasuram

to explain the nature of this "Servitutde"

 

54. We saw that Lord is Sarva Rakshakan as per AkaRAM.

Due to the presence of Piratti and His Kalyana gunas like Vatsalyam and

Swamithvam(Lordship)

it becomes possible for Him to be a Sarva Rakshakan. In view of His nature and

His Kalyna gunas, we are inclined to His service.

Hence this Servitude is Spontaneous and Blissful.

 

In the next post we will analyse why seshatvam(servitude) to Lord becomes

Important , spontaneous and Natural to Chetanas.
