Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 AchArya Hrdhayam 211 contd. swAmi azhagia maNavALap perumAL nAyanAr speaks about the means, obstacles, the nature of the soul and the Lord. Here, the nature of the goal is discussed.This is summarised again in four padhigam-s of thiru-voi mozhi namely emmA, vozhivil, nedu and vEi. i. emmA:" emmA vEttuth thiRamum cheppam" 2-9 of thiru voi mozhi categorically spells out AzhwAr's opinion that the salvation/service to Him, should be for His sake and not for ours. " thanakkEyAga enaik koLLum EdhEA" are the key words. ii. vozhivil: " vozhivil kAlamellAm vudanAi manni adimai seiyya vENdum nAm" thiru voi mozhi 3-3; prescribes service to HIm at all places, all times. iii. nedu: "nedumARku adimai seivEan pOle" 8-10 further extends this service to His devotees rather than Him. iv. vEi: " vEi maru thOl iNai " talks to carry out the intentions of the Lord without going against His mind eventhough that may not be to fullest liking of us. "vundhan thiru vuLLam idar kedum dhORum" are the words which underscore the need for fulfilling His mind being our goal to be attained.
