" peRREn, peRRathum piravAmai " - part 4

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

The jivatma's spiritual progress started many lives before the

life in which Prapatti was obtained. After Prapatti, the Prapanna

has also to be careful to prevent offending all other prapannAs

who are only a little away from Moksha.

 

adiyEn watched a TV serial in which an yOgi sits under a tree and

meditate in India for years and keeps in mind only one question.

How many more times I will have to be born again ? he proudly

tells the TV crew that he got the reply from the Lord and he is

satisfied with that. ie.. He has to be born so many times as to

the number of leaves in that tree. The yOgi was happy because he

was aware that the number of leaves are atleast finite and

" countable " .

 

It is perhaps possible that the yogi obtained the kind of reply

because he probably thought that he had to obtain moksha with the

help of his own efforts. So this yogi has to complete all the

lives due until Satya yuga or by some good fortune obtains the

grace of a mahabhagavata and turns to Prapatti.

 

Please let me know of anymore inner meanings one may understand

from this Pasuram.

 

Thanks,

Note: One day, adiyEn woke up chanting this pAsuram an year ago.

Perhaps it was in my inner layer of the mind. When I visited the

Oppiliappan sannithi this time, Sri gOvinda battar poured out

this pAsuram to the moolavar and offered me with all the

mariyAdhais and prasAdhams of perumAL and asked me to " charge " my

" battery " and let me to stand for a very long time and pray to

Lord " One on One " . It is usually the practise to sing the pAsuram

by nammAzhwAR " ennappan enakkAy ihulAy " to this Lord. This time

it was surprising and unusual. I thanked the Lord for reminding

me with this pAsuram a year ago.
