Not approahing the Easily Accessible.

 

" thERRa voNNAdhapadi thORRu, onRi niRkap paNNina palAdhAnam maRRum kaRpAr

izhavilEA suvaRip... "

 

 

The extreme ecstasic devotion was displayed by Azhwar in thiruvarangap

padhigam-kangulum pagalum. How was the state of AzhwAr improved? In fact, the

state was not improving at all. The efforts made by the mother, maidens and

friends were in vain. AzhwAr tells them " do not try to console me, my mind is

not at rest here " . AzhwAr tries to go to then-thiruppEAr-eyil,. not realising

that this state of affairs is but Lord/s will which she has to bow to. But she

is trying herself to reach Him. This subservience to the Lord- Acting as per His

will and pleasure-also gets lost in this process-pArathanthriyathayum

izhakka.--> veLLaich suri sangodu-thiru voi mozhi 7-3.

 

The Lord intervened at this stage and appeased AzhwAr's difficulty by showing

His success stories. The success list includes , the valour of measuring the

world, the churning of the ocean and so on. The srEvaishNavites who have lost

themselve in these valour/victory list became the reach of AzhwAr, with whom

AzhwAr merged himself and sustained.

Azhi ezha-thiru voi mozhi 7-4.

 

Was it just the victories of the Lord that conqured AzhwAr? The simplicity of

the Lord especially during incarnations, the voluntary grace showered by the

Almighty to all those who He deems so, His action of thinking and doing good for

the souls without any reason for whatsoever. AzhwAr feels that ' Oh! what a

Great person. But He is easily accessible. What an opportunity? Oh!. The souls

in this world have lost this chance.Can anybody think or learn anything

else/anybody else other than Him. Alas! they have not approached this easily

approahable great one. What a loss? What a pity? What a commisserative situation

? " are AzhwAr's feelings.--kaRpAr thiru voi mozhi 7-5.

 

 

pAsuram-s:

 

AzhwAr not wanting to/not consoled

 

" veLLiach suri sangodu " 7-3;

 

'nAn ith thani nenjam kAkka mAttEAn, en vasam anRu " -7-3-2--> My mind is not in

my control.

'kaNNa pirAnukku en peNmai thORREAn " -->7-3-5--> I have lost myself to kannan.

'thOzhi mErgAl, annaiyargAL, ennaith thERRA vENdA, nErgaL vuraikkindrAdhu, en

nenju niRaivum enakku ingillai " ==7-3-9-> Do not try to pacify me; my mind is

not at rest here.

 

The Victory story---Azhi ezha.7-4

 

'Azhi ezha, sangum villum ezha " 1

'ARu malaikku, edhirndhu Odum oli'---> churning of the ocean;2

'nAnRila.. " ---> varAham.3

'nALum ezha'--> Consuming and rescuing the worlds.4

'vuNudai mallar'--> bhAratham.5

'pOzhdhu melindha'---narasimham6

'mARu niraithu'--.rAman.7

'anRu man nEr, erikAl'-creating the worlds.9

'mEi nirai kEzh puraLa'---picking up the goverdhanam and rescuing--gOvindhan.10

and finally

'kunRAm edutha pirAn adiyArodum onRi ninRa satakopan'---> AzhwAr merged with the

srEvaishNavic devotees who lost themselves to the victories of the Lord

Almighty.11.

 

Study about the Lord -The Lord who comes down to us and makes Himself easily

approachable- rescues volunatrily without any reaosn whatsover on our

part.---'kaRpAr'7-5;

 

'kaRpAr rama-pirAnai allAl--puRpa, pul , eRumbu, Adhi... naRpAlukku

vuithanan'---1--Sri rAma pirAn who descended into this world, led a very simple

life, but salavaged even plants like grass, animals like ants and the people.

Learn about Him.Not anything else.

'nAttai naliyum arakkarai nAdith thadinthittu'--2-He approached the demons

Himself and vanquished them.

'sEAt pAl pazham pagaivan sisupAlan, thiruvadi, thAt pAl' --3- Lord KrishNA

granted salvation to enemies like sisupAlan.

'vAmananAi seidha kUthukkaL kaNdumEA'--6-As vAmanA He removed the problems of

dhEVA clans.

'mAyam aRibavar..'' 9== He helped the pANdavAs -charioteering - what a simple

soul but the greatest one.

'vArthai aRibavar'-10---The bhagwadh gItA -sermon by the Lord Almighty- charama

slokam -is the lesson to be learnt.

'pOrtha piRAppodu, muPPodu, iRappivai pEArthu, perunthunbam vEAraRa nEkki, avan

seiyyum sEamthai eNNi " 7-5-10

The Lord removes birth and death cycles, removes the rebirths, the difficulties

associated with births and takes us to His divine feet. What a great thing.

Everybody should get clarity --theLivu- of mind from this and do not lose this

opportunity by not approaching the easily accessible.
