" peRREn, peRRathum piravAmai " - part 3

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

Thinking of " peRRen " at the 2nd birth is also not possible

especially when the brahma upadEsam is done at an earlier or

adolescent age when one is not mature enough to understand and

realise these. However one may be aware of these during

baranyAsam stage. ie During the baranyAsam time DONOT ask for

anything. ( " uNNai en manaththu vaiththup peRREn piravAmai

empuremAn - thiru mangai in this pAsuram). Just keep the Lord

in your mind and that is enough as per thirumanagai. Though it

is said that whatever we wish for during the moments of prapatti,

we simply must keep our thoughts on Lord and surrender and should

not linger in bringing to our mind any petty desires of material

nature.

 

 

On the subsequent lines, Ravana refers to any baddha jivatma. The

ocean refers to Samsara that stands in the way of the jivatma

approaching ayodhya or Sri Vaikuntham. It also refers to the

jivatma's lack of interest in obtaining Sri Vaikuntham originally.

It shows the jivatma coming in contact with Sita while still in

pursuit of sense gratification. With Her anugraha, the jivatma

loses material opulence and faces frustration in material

existence.

 

This refers to the destruction of Lanka by Hanuman prior

to Rama's approach. The jivatma is still adamant at this time.

Finally Rama Himself comes to claim the jivatma at the time of

Prapatti to reclaim the vastu (ie jivAthmA) which was till now

lost a soul ie " seRRAi koRRAvanE, thiru vin NagarAnE " ! " You

conquered the life of this jivatma (which was rightfully

belonging to you all the time though the jivan thought untill

this moment of prapatti that it has some free will) my lord at

this moment of prapatti " !

Dearest Sri Sampath Rengi and Sri Sadagopan mama,

 

What an outburst of posts from each of you on the mere mention of

Oppiliappan Koil! I am moved equally by the gentle breeze post of Sri

Sadagopan and the turbulent swift current waters from the " madai " of yours,

Rengi. Great! I am delighted that even my ramble triggers such great posts.

 

Thanks and Regards
