Kulasekara AzhwAr PerumAL Thirumozhi- 5.4- I am like the patient loves and holds onto the surgeon inspite of the surgeon cutting and torturing the body!

[Guest guest]

SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

 

Dearest All,

 

AzhwAr expresses in this 5th decad his ananyagatitvam

and (having none other as his refuge) Akinchanyam

(helplessness) which are closely tied to Saranagati.

 

Praathikoolyasya varjanam- abstain from what needs to

be avoided… and what is prescribed in the saasthras as

don’ts.

 

Seyyadhana seyyOm- AndAL says in the second verse of

Thiruppavai. It is one of the ways in which the jeevan

pleases the Lord by adhering to saasthras thar are His

command. ANDAL describes about what is KARTHAVYAM(to

be done) and what is THYAAJYAM (to be discarded) in

this verse.

 

SrI Satakopan Swami adds:

 

Acts to be discarded during the Nonbhu [Vratham- or

vow] Vaachika, Kaayika, maanasika thyAjyams (acts to

be abandoned / rejected) are:

 

(1) " TheekkuRalaic-chenROdhOm " ( we will not speak

painful untruth and engage in purposeless talk ) is

vaachika ThyAjyam ( to be abandoned by our speech).

 

(2) " SeyyAthana seyyOm " : We will not think on subjects

that will lead us astray.(PraathikUlya Varjanam of

SaraNAgathi anushtAnam is referred not only here but

in all thyAjyams referred to above and below ).

 

(3) NeyyuNNOm PaaluNNOm " : We will not consume ghee

and milk, which are day to day items in the lives of

Gopis. (It is easy to reject exotic items in our lives

rather than some thing that is part of " the pleasures

of daily life). Bhagavan Naama Sankeerthanam takes the

vratham observers' appetite away in the spirit of

ANDAL's father's (PriyAzhvAr's Paasura

Vaakhyams)statements : " uNNA nALL PasiyAvathu

onRillai (NDP:438) and " nedumayAl ulahEzhum

aLanthAi--

KooRai sORivai VeNDuvathillai.. " (NDP: 436). Before,

Ghee and Milk were Taarakam ( nourishment )for them;

now Bhagavan Naama SankIrthanam and Hari KathA

PaarayaNam is their Taarakam .

Unquote.

 

Thus for the vratham (or nOnbu) of Saranagati also-

one needs to observe these deeds (not only while doing

the nonbu- even thereafter.]

 

vaaLaa laRutthus sudinum marutthuvanpaal

maaLaatha kaathaln^O yaaLanpOl maayatthaal

meeLaath thuyar_tharinum viRRuvakkOt tammaan^ee

aaLaa vunatharuLE paarppa NnatiyEnE 5.4

 

Oh Mighty Ruler of the Universe! Even when the doctor

(or surgeon) cuts the skin and tortures the patient,

the patient still loves and keeps going to the doctor

for curing his (or her) illness. Like the surgeon, who

cuts me up to heal me even the sorrows that You give

me- is to purify me and qualify me for sathgathi.

Therefore, I will only think about Your DayA GuNam

always and will never ever leave your lotus feet.
