nitya kaimkaryathai koduthu arulum padiyAle IswaranE rakshagan AgirAnAs 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,onRumaaRRa 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 namavennalaanga 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
