Even Azhwars have pleaded about this Akincanyatvam and hence surrendered to Perumal completely. Nammazhwar surrenders to Vanamamalai peruaml as:nORRa nOnpilEn nuNNaRi vilEnaagilum ini yunnaivittu,onRumaaRRa kinRilEn aravinaNai yammaanE,sERRuth thaamarai senNnNe lootumalar sireevara mangalanNagar,veeRRirundha endhaay! unakku migaiyallE NnangE. (TVM 5.7.1)Only when a soul gets the complete bhakti (which is like the flow of oil), will it get Atma gunams like kshamA, dhamA and shanty. This means is not recommended in our sampradAyam as it creates dependency on a factor other than Perumal himself to attain him. When a soul has completely surrendered with the belief that it is a total slave to Perumal, it need not worry about the state when the death occurs. Perumal himself has quoted in his Varaha carama slokam as "nayAmi". The soul need not remember about Perumal. Instead Perumal will remember the soul in that state. Swamy PL refers to Peruumal as Sarakku Aal, the labourer. Once the soul performs Saranagati, Perumal will act as a labourer to lead that souls via the ArcirArdi mArgam to his abode, SriVaikuntam. He will grant a place amongst the nitysUris and mukthas in his abode. Also, he will grant the nitya kaimkaryam opportunity. Thatbis the kind of state that the soul will be in, when it attains the knowledge that Sriman Narayanan is the only ruler and everything else is slave to him. Swamy Nammazhwar requests this kind of kaimkaryam from ThiruVengadamudayAn...ozivil kaalamellaam udanaay manni,vazuvilaa adimai seyya vENdum_naam,theziku ral_aru vitthiru vEngadatthu,ezilkoL sOthi enthaithanthai thanthaikkE (TVM 3.3.1)Again, Azhwar advocates that in order to get this nitya kaimkaryam, all we need to realize is we are not ours, but we all belong to him. Hence, is the Swami and we all are his servants.vEnga dangaLmeym mElvinai muRRavum,thaangaL thangatku nallana vEseyvaar,vEnga datthuRai vaarkku namavennalaanga damai,a thusumanN thaarkatkE (TVM 3.3.6)With all the above discussion, it becomes very clear that in our sampradAyam, We should not try to attain something other than mOksham through Sriyapathi, also we should not try to attain him through some other means.The conclusion is:We should attain Perumal only through him.aDiyEn would like to conlude the series with the following Nammazhwar pasuram on VaithamAnidhi Perumal of ThirukkOlur:uNNuNY chORu parugunNeer thinnumveR RilaiyumellaamkaNNan, emperumaan NnenRen REkaNkaL neermalgi,maNNinuL avanseer vaLammik kavanoor vinavi,thiNNa menniLa maanpugu moor_thiruk kOLoorE.
