He continues that his mind is behind all lowly stuff in this world and never repents for doing it. He surrenders at the lotus feet of <a href=\"https:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/06\/emperumanar\/\">SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> to protect him, who is doomed into ignorance and darkness of this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/23\/azhagiya-manavala-mamunigal\/\">mAmunigaL <\/a>says \u201cHey the leader of yathis!!! My mind is deeply immersed in inferior things in this world as per the phrase \u201c<em>thImaNam<\/em> (<a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2016\/05\/thiruvaimozhi-2-7-8-vamanan\/\">thiruvAimozhi 2.7.8<\/a>)\u201d. As <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/nammazhwar\/\">nammAzhvAr <\/a>said \u201c<em>yAdhAnum paRRi nIngum<\/em> (<a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/nammazhwar\/\">thiruviruththam <\/a>95)\u201d, my mind is constantly behind all these inferior things in the world and is in constant attachment towards it. While the mind should be focused on your lotus feet incessantly, it is just doing the contrary. It just grazes on all other inferior stuff in this world. It deems those things as the final destination and goes behind them. In doing so, the mind does not even have the guilt that it is doing such a low condescending act. It never has that guilt nor feels to rectify it. Instead it yearns and lusts behind the silly things of the world. As per the phrase <em>\u201cthasmAth bAlyE vivEkAthmA\u201d<\/em>, the age of five is regarded as the right age when a human can apply his intellect to distinguish between things. If at that age of five, one is not able to learn and understand the differences in the world, he will never understand it even if is fifty years old. This is a popular adage that has been in vogue for a long time. I am wondering if this was created exclusively for me, for it applies to me perfectly. I do not know what is good for me. Hence, I request you my master, the omnipotent <a href=\"https:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/06\/emperumanar\/\">SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>, to show me a way.&nbsp; \u201c<em>nenjamum thAnozhindhavaRRaiyE ugakkum<\/em>\u201d. This can also be construed as to <a href=\"https:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/23\/azhagiya-manavala-mamunigal\/\">mAmunigal <\/a>saying \u201cIf a person does not learn \/ understand at age of five, he will never understand at even fifty. What a pity! Even today, I have no feeling of guilt for my mind going after all materialistic things in this world. It is because of this lack of guilt, my mind continues to yearn and lust for all other things in this universe except the ultimate destination of you and your lotus feet\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>adiyEn santhAnam ramanuja dasan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>archived in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\">https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>pramEyam (goal) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/koyil.org\">https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a><br \/>pramANam (scriptures) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\">http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>pramAthA (preceptors) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\">http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>SrIvaishNava education\/kids portal \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org\">http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series &lt;&lt; Previous Introduction In the previous pAsuram, mAmunigaL used a phrase, \u201cinRaLavum illAdha adhikAram\u201d.
