Naamum nam paavaikku Ceyyum Kirisaigal Keeliiroo parkadalul Paiya tuyinra Paraman adi paadi Neyyunnoom palunnoom naat kaalee niiraadi Mai it-eludoom malarittu naam mudiyoom Ceyyaadana ceyyoom tiikuralai cenroodoom Aiyamum pichaiyum aanadanaiyum Kai Kaatti Uyyumaarenni ugandeeloor embaavaay. " O chetanas (Souls)! Who are fortunate to enjoy the gunas (Qualities) of the Lord in this Leelavibhuti (This life that is His Play) replete with Bhagavat Gunas (His Auspicious Qualities) ! Please listen to what we would do and what we avoid for the proper fulfillment of our Kainkarya nonbu (Vow of Service). We shall sing of the glories of the feet of the Lord who gently sleeps on the Milky Ocean, always thinking about the protection of this world. We shall remove all our other desires; we shall do our daily karmas(secular and religious duties). We should not, of our own accord, adopt jnana (the path of Knowledge), bhakti (the path of Devotion)or yoga paths as our means to attain in the Lord. Though the Lord has Vaatsalya (Parental Love) for all of us, still we should not try to approach Him to attain His favour directly. Instead, we should seek the intercession of someone who is intimately connected with Him. We should try to preach, as much as it lies in our knowledge and power about the glory of God and His devotees. In this way, by surrendering ourselves to Him, we are sure to attain fulfillment of our Kainkarya Nonbu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
