How to see the Lord - Our anubhavam - Conclusion

[Guest guest]

Dear SrEvaishNavites,

 

First and foremost I thank sri sadagopan iyengar for triggering a train of

thought in mind which enabled me to recall and refer vyAkyAnam-s of

pUrvAchAryAs. Thanks for the food for the thought.

 

In srE vachaNa bhUshaNam 43 st sUthram states " agnAnathAlE prabhannar

asmathAthigaL, gnAnAthikathAlE prabhannar pUrvAcharyargaL;bhakthip

pAravyasathAlE prabhannar AzhwArgaL " Although this sUthram is being spelt out in

a different context, the following lines are relevant in this regard.

 

prabhannar-s are categorised into three. One with lack of knowledge. We fall

into this slot.

One with pre-dominant knowledge. Our preceptors-pUrvAchAryargaL are in this

category and

Prabhannar-s with extreme devotion -bhakthi-p pAravyasyam-AzhwArgaL are no doubt

in this class.

 

When even prabhannar can fall into a category of " ignorant " group we who cannot

even be termed as prabhannar are certainly below that.

 

We need thus Lord's blessing for seeing the Lord.
