THIRUPPAVAI 10

[Guest guest]

seidha vELviyar

 

 

 

The tenth pAsuram of thirup-pAvai " nORRuch chuvarkkam " begins with an

interesting happening. The gopikAs who knock at the door of this gopikA

addresses her as one who has completed the rituals-nONbu- and also attained the

benefit. Here, the benefit is mentioned as " swargam "

which is the immeasurable happiness indicating the experience with Lord krishNA.

 

The gopikAs are in the phase of gathering and meeting together. How come this

gOpikA has already completed and obtained the benefit? Here, the term " seidha

vELviyar " - thriu voi mozhi 5-7-5, is referred to. The residents of

srEviramangaLanagar-vAnamAmalai- are referred to as seidha vELviyar. Is it true

that all these devotees have completed the rituals? No. Those who have realised

the real nature of the Lord are deemed to have completed all the rituals

blemishlessly. Hence,they need not take efforts specially. What is it that they

have realised? They have realised that we, the souls are His assets,and

therefore He will come and rescue us. We are subservient to Him and hence, we

will be rescued by Him. Therefore,no efforts are necessary. He will take care of

us.

 

Similarly, this gOpika, is a soul who is a 'seidha vELviyar' who has realised

His nature. Then,does it not indicate that those who have come to take her have

not realised Him properly. In fact, they should also be passive and wait for Him

to take to HIm. The conviction is overwhelming in the case of gopikA inside

whereas the nature of the end and the expectation is overwhelming in the case of

those gopikAs who have to come to call her.Hence, this dual situation arises.

 

That is as far as 'seidha vELviyar' or " nORRuch chuvarkkam " goes.
