thirucciRRambalam

Meaning:

It is not appropriate to see the ignorami.

It is not a duty to listen to the ignorami.

For the ignorami, (other) ignorami are great people.

The ignorami do not understand the concept.

Notes:

1. It is very important to understand the context

of this chapter (and the preceding chapters),

before interpreting this song.

Here the saint is not talking about the general

material/technical education. Here it is the learning

for wisdom that is talked about. In the previous

songs of this chapter, thirumUlar explains how the

ignorami fail to see the God Who is pervading

everything they see/deal with. Those who do not

learn the divine knowledge miss out their whole

life!

2. The ignorami dwell in the darkness and celebrate

the ignorance. The wise should not be perturbed by

their actions.

aRivilA thavaraik kaNDAl amman^Am anycha mARE. - thiruvacakam

3. So, if the wise insulate themselves away from the

ignorami, wouldn't the wisdom be lost for the world?

And the ignorami will never have an opportunity to

learn! The people of divine wisdom will be compassionate

to the people around and hence they will look for the

ways, the world could benefit. However they will not

come down from the wisdom and dilute it with the

ignorance of others.

A beautiful depiction of this is found in thiruvempAvai.

The girls singing Lord shiva come and wake up one

of the friends to take her along to sing the Lord.

However that lazy friend asks whether everybody else

have assembled. The devotee girls though in compassion

came to take her along, refuse to oblige her request

and focus on singing the Lord. (Else they would have

lost their focus!)
