A Peep into Periya ThiruMozhi 238

[Guest guest]

A Strategic Move.

 

It is well known that EmperumAn is all for us. He is the means and His Grace elevates us.

 

Does not Thirumangai AzhwAr know this? Definitely he does know?

 

Then what is the point in lamenting that the Lord has not kept His words and

pining. Is not a matured soul expected to maintain composure and wait with

aplomb for Him to come and take us?

 

True. However, it is not as dry as it is made to be. The relationshiop is full

of emotions outbursting with expectations. love and affection. It is not made

of formal ties but a never ending bondage. The involvement culminates into

ceaseless longingeness yearning for His embrace moment after moment.Apparently,

the Beauty of Him, His Grace and deeds indeed are so attrative which outweigh

easily the formal relationship that is made to be.

 

Having realised ParakAla nAyaki's posiiton, it will be now easier to

understand Her next move. The deep anticipation of Him did not culminate and

Kaliyan somehow wants to reach Him.

 

EmperumAn does not accept any other means and if one so desires can follow the

othermeans and Almighty allows us to follow that means but He gradually removes

HImself from the background.

 

What will happen/ thinks Kaliyan , 'if She- one who has understood Him fully

well, one who has professed that He is the means and also all along practised

it meticulously, goes on in public to follow other means'. The EmperumAn of

ThiruppullAni will indeed realise His folly of not appearing immediately on

Kaliyan's call and descend forthwith in her front. However, Parakala nayaki's

friend -thOzhi -appropriately reminds that by following certain rituals she not

only violates the basic nature of the soul but also belittles the Grace of the

Lord.

 

Kaliyan declares 'This is what gives confidence in me. By reciting His name

after proper formalities I try to violate His nature. True. But not mine. The

Lord indeed is going to appear in my front fearing my detracting from the right

path. This is my brahmAsthram' proclaims Kaliyan.

 

All this in the ninth pAsuram of the 3rd Thirumozhi of the ninth ten of Periya Thirumozhi.

 

'Odhi Ayira nAmam- kulithu-vuchi thannAl pAdha nALum paNivOam

namakkEa nalam Adhalin

Adhu thAran enilum tharum anRiyum anbarAi.."

 

Let us finish our ablutions and recite His thirunAmam and fall at His feet. No.

He will not reject. Indeed He will shower His Grace on us.
