How to see the Lord -6 -Mudhal AzhwArgaL experience

[Guest guest]

It is a known fact that poizhgai, bhudathu and pEi AzhwAr met in

thiruk kOil vUr where they had the immense grace of the Lord and had

His vision.

poizhgai AzhwAr imagined the world as the vessel -agal - containng the

ghee and the thiri- the ghee being the ocean, the lamp being the sun

and the AzhwAr dedicated his prabhandham to the Lord.

 

bhUdhathu AzhwAr made his affection and love as the vessel, his

relentless zest as the ghee, the everlasting thought as the thiri and

lit the lamp with knaowledge with gnAnath thamizh. In this process his

soul got molten. nanbu vurugi- AthmA vurugi.

It is thus observed that the soul of bhUdhath AzhwAr melts in this process.

 

pEi AzhwAr- thamizhth thalaivan-Having seen that the first two

AzhwAr-s light the lamp of sun and knowledge, pEi AzhwAr sees the

divine form of the Lord and just does not stop with just uttering " I

have seen the LOrd" but due to ecstasy and immense love and affection

utters" I saw that , I saw this and so on " . That is "

"thiruk kaNdEAn, pon mEani kaNdEan, thigazhum arukkan aNi niRamum

kaNdEan, serukkiLarum pon Azhi kaNdEan puri sangam kaik kaNdEan, en

Azhi vaNNan pAl inRu" mUnRAm thiruvandhAdhi 1.

 

" I had the vision of pirAtti;I saw the divine physique of the Lord

with great colours; I saw the sakkaram;I saw sri pAnchajanyam"

 

The experiences goes on and on...
