AchArya Hrdhayam -sUthram 223

The Fifth Ten

 

"AvA enRu thAnEa than adiyArkkuch cheiyyum thol aruL enRu

parathvAdhigaLai vudaiyavan, ev idathAn ennum pAviyarkkum iru

karaiyum azhikkum krupA pravAham vudaiyavan poi, kUtRu, vanjakkaLavu,

thavira, muRRavun thAnAi vunnai vittennap paNNina virakthi pala

paramAthma rAgam..."

 

Summary: The prime quality in this ten is "immense Grace of the Lord"-kArunyathvam.

 

The Lord is exhanging pleasantries with the nithya-sUrigaL in His

abode. He is Supreme Being. He is the creator. He is the Omni-present

one. He is the Governing entity of one and all. The souls in this

world, if the foregoing points are considered are doomed once and for

all. Greatest vis-a-vis the Lowest. Considering these aspects, the

souls distance from the Lord Almigthy, reckoning their sins and so

on. However, the Lord out of His voluntary Grace, forgetting His

independence-making it to vanish-encourages the conviction about Him

and breeds the indiffrence towards other things.

 

This Grace is showered on the soul who tell lies to the Lord and the

lies are like the unalloyed truth.

The requesting person is AzhwAr but the Lord acts as if He is the

person who is requesting for the whole mission. The Lord became

everything to AzhwAr. This lead to a situation where AzhwAr does not

want to leave the Lord eternally.

Thus, the fact is that the indifference towards other things is

created by the Lord and the fruits of such indifference being

parama-bhakthi -extreme devotion,love and affection is further

created by the Lord.

 

pAsuram-s:

 

"AvA enRu aruL seidhu"--thiru voi mozhi 5-1-9----> The Lord showers extreme Grace on AzhwAr.

"thAnEa innaruL seidhu" --thiru voi mozhi 5-1-10--> The Lord showers the Grace voluntarily.

"perumAnadhu thol aruLEA" -thiru voi mozhi 5-9-9--> This the quality of the Lord- The Grace.

 

"ammAn Azhip pirAn, avan ev idathAn yAnAr, em mA pAviyarkkum, vidhi

vAikkinRu"--thiru voi mozhi 5-1-7--> The Lord with His divine weapons

grants Himself to the nithya-surigAl there. Such a great Lord showers

His Grace on AzhwAr which is fate-fate because it could not be

avoided.

 

"poiyEa kaimmai solli" --thiru voi mozhi 5-1-1--> Is the Grace a

response from AzhwAr's praise on the Lord. No. AzhwAr showered lies

and the lies were were black lies.

"thEAnEa!innamudhEA! enRenREA, sila kUtRuch solli"--thiru voi mozhi

5-1-2--> Expressing praise on the Lord with mere words feigning love

and affection and lO! the Lord responds with His voluntary Grace for

such a deed.

 

"ennai muRRavum thAn AnAn"--thiru voi mozhi 5-1-10--> Ultimately the

Lord brought AzhwAr to a blissful state of seeing Lord as everything

for him.
