AzhwAr's Experience -How to see the Lord

Continuing the experience of swAmi nam AzhwAr, it is a universally

known fact that AzhwAr submerges into the ocean of emperumAn's

thoughts, qualities. This emotional entanglement leads him to a state

where he sees all the things as the Lord and bursts into ecstasy.

 

" pUvaiyum, kAyAvum, nElamum pOkkinRa,

kAvi malar enRum kAN dhOrum, pAviyEan

mellAvi mei migavE pOrikkum, avvavai ellAm

pirAn vuruvE enRu" periya thiruvandhAdhi 73

 

As sri sadagopan Iyengar states it is very difficult for us even to

adapt AzhwAr's stand when in presence of The LOrd's archAvathAra

thirumEni. In fact, AzhwAr sees the Lord in everything.We are not

able to see the Lord in His thirumEni.

 

When AzhwAr sees pUvaip pO, kAyAm pO, karuneidhal pushpam out of

emotional experience not only AzhwAr's mind but also his physique

expands on the joy of seeing the Lord.

 

However, all the AzhwArs experience is not similar. There are AzhwArs

who melt on seeing the Lord. We will see that next.
