How to see the LOrd 1- AzhwAr 's observation

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees,True the Lord has to be experienced and not just seen. That is why

AzhwAr clearly states " en nejinAl nOkkik kANEr " thiru voi mozhi 5-5-2. " KInldy

see the Lord through my mind " Unless the experience is adapted the emotions

cannot be comprehended.It is this emotion which outpoured as the magnum opus

-thiru voi mozhi.

 

Dear srEvaishNavites, Sri sadagopan Iyengar from Coimbatore had written an

article on how generally people miss the Lord's important appearance, His looks,

sAthupadi etc. while visiting him in temples or otherwise. The essence of the

article was, we miss the focus of the visit due to lack of total involvement and

fail to observe the relevant things.

 

This triggered a train of thought in my mind. This highlighted how AzhwAr s

experience with the Lord was a complete contrast ascompared to ourselves. Hence,

these series of postings.

How to See the Lord 1- AzhwAr 's Observation

 

 

 

Please refer to the periya thiruvandhAdhip pAsuram

" anREa nam kaN kANum AzhiyAn kAr vuruvam inREA nAm kANAdhiruppadhuvum, enREanum

katkaNNAl kANAdha avvuruvai,

nenjennum vutkaNNEal kANUm vuNarndhu " periya thiruvandhadhi 28

 

The Lord cannot be seen by the named organ 'eye'. The eye is only a external

sight organ. Unless, our mind experiences and realise the divine Lord we can

indeed see Him.

The vyAkyAnam is excellent in this regard: " parama bhakthi piRandhu avvasthuvai

vozhiya chellAmai yAdhoru pozhudhu piRakkum. appOdhu kANum nam kaN "

 

Thus it is apparent that the inner realisation manifests through the eyes and

exhibits the divine sight and not vice-versa.
