AchArya hrdhayam sUthram 219

 

This suthram deals at length, the first ten of thiru-voi-mozhi -mudhal pathu.

 

Summary:

 

The macro-level-experience of AzhwAr in the first ten-mudhal pathu

 

1.The Lord who is supreme out of His immense vouluntary Grace removed the lack

of knowledge, ignorance etc. and granted complete knowledge (gnAnam) to AzhwAr;

 

2.The Lord then settled down in AzhwAr's mind which enabled AzhwAr to enjoy the

qualities of the Lord minutely;

 

3. Full of gnAnam -thathvagnAnathai udaiyarAna Azhwar;

 

4.Having reached this stage AzhwAr did not want to cherish this alone.

Therefore he preached the dos and donts to the people who are stuck up in

samsAram.

 

5. The Great Lord is not unrachable but easily apporachable;

 

6. He mixes with one and all freely;

 

7. He condones one's mistaekes without much ado,mutual exchange of relationship

between the Lord and soul is made possible and other such auspicious qualities

are several aspects highlighted by AzhwAr.

 

All fruits blossom due to the aformementioned aspects. Hence, let the souls

follow the means as mentioned by Him in gEthA sAsthram is underlined by AzhwAr.

The doubt of supremacy vis-a-vis other deities is also completely eradicated.

With this let the souls worship Him without any expectations is the prime aspect

couselled by AzhwAr to the jEvAthmAs.

 

Thus, as the Lord had out of His Grace granted mayarvaRa mathi nalam, AzhwAr

shows the way to attain Him by eliminating the ignorance of the ignorant souls

in the first pathu.
