How to see the Lord - Our anubhavam - Conclusion

[Guest guest]

Dear SrEvaishNavites,

 

First and foremost I thank sri sadagopan iyengar for triggering a

train of thought in mind which enabled me to recall and refer

vyAkyAnam-s of pUrvAchAryAs. Thanks for the food for the thought.

 

In srE vachaNa bhUshaNam 43 st sUthram states" agnAnathAlE prabhannar

asmathAthigaL, gnAnAthikathAlE prabhannar pUrvAcharyargaL;bhakthip

pAravyasathAlE prabhannar AzhwArgaL" Although this sUthram is being

spelt out in a different context, the following lines are relevant in

this regard.

 

prabhannar-s are categorised into three. One with lack of knowledge. We fall into this slot.

One with pre-dominant knowledge. Our preceptors-pUrvAchAryargaL are in this category and

Prabhannar-s with extreme devotion -bhakthi-p pAravyasyam-AzhwArgaL are no doubt in this class.

 

When even prabhannar can fall into a category of "ignorant" group we

who cannot even be termed as prabhannar are certainly below that.

 

We need thus Lord's blessing for seeing the Lord.
