The sun , the friend of the lotus,

Tearing the darkness pervading in sky and earth.

Becomes visible to the eye,

But you having the luster of billions of suns,

Are not known to me.

Alas! the darkness of ignorance,

Surrounding me must be very dense!

Oh , Lord of all beings,

Remove all that darkness,

And become really visible to me.

Hey! ParamEswara! You are GyaanajyOthi. Soorya Bhagavan, even though he is

one, he is able to remove the darkness that pervades all of bhoolOka to

aakaasa and yet is available to the reach of the eyes (lOchanaghOcharam).

You on the other hand are equal to a crore sooryas with unequalled

resplendence yet seems incapable of removing the darkness of my moola

agnyaanam and also elude the reach of my eyes. Why are you in my case being

so out of reach? I have no idea of the depth and intensity of the darkness

of my agnyaanam. நெஞà¯à®šà®•à¯à®•à®©à®•à®²à¯ says AruNagirinaathar

emphasising its

horrible opaqueness. In truth vidwaans say that this biggest darkness

called agnyaanam is the maayai.

 

Hey! ParamEswara! This maayai called agnyaanam is deceiving the praaNis

from knowing (hiding your shine of) your nijaswaroopam.

 

Sruthi says " aanandham brahmEthi vyajaanaath'. What this maayai is doing is

that she is hiding the brahmaanandham which is the nijaswaroopam of the

aathma and prevents it from shining. In truth sath, chith and aanandham are

the the nijaswaroopam of the aathma. That vasthu that has no destruction in

all three kaalas is to be knows as 'Sath'. The consciousness is known as

'chith'. And the swaswaroopaanandam should be known as sukham. This lady

Maaya in respect of the praaNIs does not hide the 'sath' amsam and 'chith'

amsam but only hides only the aanandhaamsam. That is why the praaNis go

through untold sufferings. Everyone never doubts: 'do I exist?' or 'do I

not exist?' Everyone has the definite conviction in saying " I exist " and

thus Maayai does not hide the sath swaroopaamsam. In the same way in

respect of knowledge a person is sure of it when he says " I know " (*I

know*that I know) or " I do not know " (

*I know* that I do not know) and thus Maayai does not hide the chith

swaroopaamsam. But lo and behold! Everyone invariably, without even having

the doubt whether he is sukhaswaroopi or a dhukkaswaroopi, he has the

conviction that he is dhukkaswaroopi! Thus it is very very clear that no

one has the swaanubhavam that he is sukhaswaroopi. From this the definite

conclusion is that the maayai hides only the aathma's aanandhaamsam.

Therefore all the praaNis are endlessly roaming in search of sukham in the

dwaitha prapancha dhukka saagaram created by maayai. Therefore, hey!

ParamEswara! you are not available to me because I do not have the gnyaanam

that aathmaa is ever aanandhaswaroopi.

 

Suppose if someone were to object to the complaint and ask: " Why don't you

of your own accord remove the darkness of agnyaanam " , the answer of

bhagavathpaadhaaL was by the insightful exclamation " pasupathE " . That is,

PrabhO! Aren't you pasu-paasa vimOchakan? Only those who are not aware that

the aathmaswaroopam is aanandhamayam are known as 'pasu'. I am merely in

the status of pasu only.

 

thEshaamEvaanukampaartham ahamagnyaanajam thama: |

naasaayaamyaathmabhaavasthO gnyaana dheepEna bhaasvathaa ||

 

with this resolve, in respect of me you should remove the darkness of my

agnyaanam root and stem and with your gnyaanOpadEsam to me you should do

sabalam of my janma. Therefore it is for you alone to remove my agnyaanam.

PasupathE! Could You not reveal Yourself to me so the thirst of my eyes are

quenched? Could you not be prasannan in the lotus of my heart?

 

Anyone who recites this sloka and do namaskaaram in sivasannidhi will

definitely have the prathyaksha dharisanam of ParamEswara.

 

Aum Namasivaaya!
