AchArya Hridhayam

 

In sUthram 16, we saw the detailed reason,being the emperumAn's mercy for

having given the thirumandhiram.

 

Next let us go into sUthram 20 :

 

"ivai swarUpathai vuNarndhu vuNarndhu vuNaravum, vuNarvaip peRa vUra miga

vuNaravum vuNdAm"

 

 

Here the analysis of two class of people namely a.Those who are involved in

sAsthrangaL and with the help of that try to get themselves out of the cycle of

births. b. Those who are involved in the essence of thirumandhiram and act

passive accordingly.

 

Accordingly, the former class, in an attempt to understand the real nature of

the soul -that it is different from the physical form- and is capable of

knowledge and experiencing happiness presume that soul can do service to the

Lord and hence keeping this in mind -that soul is itself capable of certain

independent qualitites- try to attain the Lord by their attempts.

 

The class of people who are submerged in thirumandhiram, perceive that the

wordly knowlege, materialsitic nexus, the physique are all to be left away.They

firmly believe, as dictated by their knowledge that, this perception is bestowed

by the LOrd without any specific actions and hence they aim at the soul being

always at the service to the Lord and being capable of being serving to the

Lord( pAranthanthriyam),. they leave the burden of attaining salvatin to the

Lord Himself.

It may be observed thus that knowledge about the nature of soul( swarUpathai

vuNarndhuNardhu vuNara) leads to sAsthra followers and the supreior knowledge of

the nature of soul (vuNaravai peRa vUra miga vuNara) leads to conviction in

thirumandhiram.

 

Thus the difference between those who believe in the prescription of sAsthrangaL

and those who are dictated by the essence of thirumandhiram is explained here.
