AchArya Hrdhayam

 

Recap of Eighth Ten

 

 

The quality of sathyakAmathvam is emphasised in this ten. The

omnipotence leading to permanent possession of things which yield

everlasting happiness, the implements which yiled these, the place

where this is made possible i.e parama-padham. The Lord is the Lord

of these and hence, sathya kAman.

 

AzhwAr wanted to experience the presence of the Lord but in the

absence of which AzhwAr grieved. Hence, AzhwAr had doubts regarding

the real nature of the Lord. He feared the nature of the

materialistic and kArmic world.The Lord reminded AzhwAr that he had

graced and blessed earlier and the doubts should not persist. Having

realised this AzhwAr understood the greatness of the Lord but also

the smallness of the soul. Hence, AzhwAr realising this wanted to

move away. The Lord hastened to highlight the nature of the soul.

 

Thus, AzhwAr having reaped the great Grace and blessing of the Lord

Almighty, wanted this to pervade to fellow souls, also. Generally,

the goal and the way to attain the goal are different.

 

However, in this respect the goal and the means are one and the same-

The Lord is both is the underlying message in this eighth ten.
