He is 'The Be all and End All for all'

As an ordinary soul, karma, jnAna bkakthigal will not fetch mOksham. Even

Azhwars have pleaded about this Akincanyatvam and hence surrendered to Perumal

completely. Nammazhwar surrenders to Vanamamalai peruaml as:

 

nORRa nOnpilEn nuNNaRi vilEnaagilum

ini yunnaivittu,onRum

aaRRa kinRilEn aravinaNai yammaanE,

sERRuth thaamarai senNnNe lootumalar sireevara mangalanNagar,

veeRRirundha endhaay! unakku migaiyallE NnangE. (TVM 5.7.1)

 

Only when a soul gets the complete bhakti (which is like the flow of oil), will

it get Atma gunams like kshamA, dhamA and shanty. This means is not recommended

in our sampradAyam as it creates dependency on a factor other than Perumal

himself to attain him.

 

When a soul has completely surrendered with the belief that it is a total slave

to Perumal, it need not worry about the state when the death occurs. Perumal

himself has quoted in his Varaha carama slokam as "nayAmi". The soul need not

remember about Perumal. Instead Perumal will remember the soul in that state.

 

Swamy PL refers to Peruumal as Sarakku Aal, the labourer. Once the soul performs

Saranagati, Perumal will act as a labourer to lead that souls via the ArcirArdi

mArgam to his abode, SriVaikuntam. He will grant a place amongst the nitysUris

and mukthas in his abode. Also, he will grant the nitya kaimkaryam opportunity.

Thatbis the kind of state that the soul will be in, when it attains the

knowledge that Sriman Narayanan is the only ruler and everything else is slave

to him. Swamy Nammazhwar requests this kind of kaimkaryam from

ThiruVengadamudayAn...

 

ozivil kaalamellaam udanaay manni,

vazuvilaa adimai seyya vENdum_naam,

theziku ral_aru vitthiru vEngadatthu,

ezilkoL sOthi enthaithanthai thanthaikkE (TVM 3.3.1)

 

Again, Azhwar advocates that in order to get this nitya kaimkaryam, all we need

to realize is we are not ours, but we all belong to him. Hence, is the Swami and

we all are his servants.

 

vEnga dangaLmeym mElvinai muRRavum,

thaangaL thangatku nallana vEseyvaar,

vEnga datthuRai vaarkku namavenna

laanga damai,a thusumanN thaarkatkE (TVM 3.3.6)

 

With all the above discussion, it becomes very clear that in our sampradAyam,

 

We should not try to attain something other than mOksham through Sriyapathi,

also we should not try to attain him through some other means.

 

The conclusion is:

 

We should attain Perumal only through him.

 

aDiyEn would like to conlude the series with the following Nammazhwar pasuram on

VaithamAnidhi Perumal of ThirukkOlur:
