How to see the LOrd 1- AzhwAr 's observation

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees,

True the Lord has to be experienced and not just seen. That is why AzhwAr

clearly states "en nejinAl nOkkik kANEr" thiru voi mozhi 5-5-2. "Kinldy see the

Lord through my mind" Unless the experience is adapted the emotions cannot be

comprehended. It is this emotion which outpoured as the magnum opus -thiru voi

mozhi.

 

Dear srEvaishNavites, Sri sadagopan Iyengar had written an article on how

generally people miss the Lord's important appearance, His looks, sAthupadi etc.

while visiting him in temples or otherwise. The essence of the article was, we

miss the focus of the visit due to lack of total involvement and fail to observe

the relevant things.

 

This triggered a train of thought in my mind. This highlighted how AzhwAr's

experience with the Lord was a complete contrast as compared to ourselves.

Hence, these series of postings.

 

How to See the Lord 1- AzhwAr 's Observation

 

Please refer to the periya thiruvandhAdhip pAsuram [28]

 

The Lord cannot be seen by the named organ 'eye'. The eye is only a external

sight organ. After our mind experiences and realizes the divine Lord, can we

indeed see Him.

 

The vyAkyAnam is excellent in this regard. Thus it is apparent that the inner

realisation manifests through the eyes and exhibits the divine sight and not

vice-versa.
