AchArya Hrdhayam - sUthram 220 Contd.

Second Ten Contd.

 

Continuing on the second ten of thiru-voi-mozhi it was noted that the

Lord who is the cause of all the worlds and souls, blessed AzhwAr

with knowledge who desired for mOksham and nithya sUri ghOshti.

AzhwAr became crestfallen on not getting this. The Lord poured His

affection on Him which flowed down to generations of AzhwAr's

sambhandhi-s. However, when the Lord tried to grant salvation, AzhwAr

rejected on the grounds that it should be for His sake and not for the

sake of AzhwAr and he always requested for His divine feet, thus

underlining the nature of both. Further, It was seen that those

qualities which go to establish the supremacy -parathvam-namely,

sagala pala prathathva, kAraNathva, shEsha sAyithva, sriyapathithva

and saulabhyAdhigaL were seen in the thiru-voi-mozhi-s "thiNNan" and

"aNaivadhu aravaNai". It was also observed that vision by arjunA and

an utterance by shivA was shown as another instance which go to

establish the supremacy of the Lord. The grief associated with this

world; the happiness linked with the mOksham and the yield which is

generally final, is right from the inception stage, is enunciated.

Further,

pathilEa"

 

Summary: The obstacles which hinder approaching Him are all mentioned

and the underlying disadvantages are spelt out. The accumulated

effecrts submerge inescapably one into this world.

In Contrast, at a young age, choosing a dhivya-dhEsam as one's abode,

singing hymns in praise of Him, thinking of Him always are indeed

soul's nature and appropriate to the means which is apposite.
