AchArya Sishyan 3

AchArya-Sishyan 3

 

Recap: It was seen that AchAryathvam sparkles fromt he perception of

EmperumAn. Bhagawath kainkaryam from the angle of swAchAryan.

AchAryan is the extension of his AchAryan and therefore the Sishyan

is actually disciple of his AchAryan.

 

Now, then what is then required of the AchAryan? This is answered in the next SUthram

 

'AchAryanukku sihsyan pakkal krupaiyum swAchAryan pakkal pArathanthriyamum vEANum" 313;

'kripayAl sishyan swarUpam siddhikkum;pArathanthriyathAl than swarUpam siddhikkum" 314;

 

 

AchAryan should have mercy towards the disciple and impart him all the

knowledge. This will result in the disciple's AtmA guNam getting

reformed and therefore his nature of Atman gets purified.

 

Similarly, AchAryan should always consider the sishyan as his

AchAran-s sishyan and he is only insturmental in imparting the

knowledge. Thus he is displaying pArathanthriyam towards his

AchAryan, his natue of Atman also sparkles.

 

 

Summary: It must be very clear now that the AchAryan should consider

himself as a branch or extenison of his AchAryan and teach the

disciples. This is will automatically culminate in being

pArathanthriyam towards his AchAryan making his swArupam to blossom.

 

Similarly, by showing mercy towards the disciple if he imparts him

eduction, the sishyan attains knowledge and his swarUpam also

blossoms. Thus it is said, by mercy sishyan's Atma guNam blossoms and

by pArathanthryam the AchAryan's Atma guNam blossoms.
