ThirumuRai Series - 82

[Guest guest]

(thiruppAchuram is the padhikam sambandhar told

pANDiyan n^inRa chIr n^eDumARan as a guru. The

meaning of this padhikam is intense. chEkkizAr

has written quite some elaborations for this

whole padhikam, while no other padhikam has got

this kind of special commentary in periya purANam.

Given such great importance of this padhikam all

the hymns in this padhikam are being presented in

ThirumuRai Series (from 89 to 90). So there would

be many sent in these two days to cover complete

padhikam before April. The explanations here would be

very little compared to the deep meanings this

enlightening poem gives. So please contemplate on each

of these verses to get more out.

thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

With cause, reasoning and with the words used

for presenting don't get too much into

examination, because our Lord is explicitly

glowing resplendently ! You will be removed of

your great sorrows, hold on to Him and live !

Oh serene ones and all others come and hinge

only on the God !

 

Notes:

1. One cannot and mostly should not go just

by faith. If the one believed turns out to be

the truth it is safe, with least effort most

returns are got. But it happens to be not true

the result will be detrimental depending upon

how bad it is. So one has to check to ones own

satisfaction that the chosen thing is not the wrong

one. On the other hand when one keeps on

questioning without getting satisfied at some

point, fine the Truth will certainly keep

answering either immediately or with whatever

delays, but the seeker by then could have wasted

all the time in knowing what without looking at how

that truth could be utilized !

For example if one wants to find the presence

of a heat source there is a way to keep calculating

the difference in heat levels at various points

and finally arrive at the burning point. But when

one is able to see a huge flame dazzling, why go

for such laborious techniques ? (unless one really

wants to)

The divine language of saint thirunyAna sambandhar

has used the chosen word "mikkuch chOdhikka vENDA".

There are religions that call for "just faith" and

there is another class (including rationalism) that

just insists on digging on and on without translating

the truths observed into practice. kuravar sambandhar

clarly drives away our quandary, "Analyze to get the

first concepts right. Then You can feel our Lord shiva

and stay in that Luminance ! There will be no doubts

any more ! Hold on to That Supreme ! That is your way

to the Bliss !!"

2. iRaiyE could also be interpreted as atleast a bit.

In that case the meaning could be, "Oh serene ones

and all others at least hold on to the Lord a bit.

(You will be benefited accordingly)"
