Synopsis:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One\u2019s AchAryan is very much accessible and easily approachable to his sishyAs. However, if a person were to disregard such an AchAryan with a pretext that he is still a human and would go ahead and perform the most difficult yOgam etc. in order to see perumAL, thinking that HE will be of help when he needs HIM, this act is nothing but ignorance. This point is being illustrated in this pAsuram as well with an example.<\/p>\n

eRRe<\/td>\nwhat a foolish \/ ignorant act!!!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

paRRu guruvai: <\/span><\/span>This describes the qualities of an AchAryan to whose lotus feet a person surrenders. AchAryan is someone who is very easily approachable, one who mixes and mingles with us very amicably, one who is very pleasant to interact and one who protects us.<\/p>\n

paran anRu enRu igazhndhu:<\/span> <\/span>AchAryan is none other than sriman nArAyaNan HIMSELF in human form. \u00a0If a person were to dismiss such an AchAryan as just another human being and disregard him as not a manifestation of god, the impact of such a foolish behavior is being elaborated in this pAsuram.<\/p>\n

maRROr paranai vazhippadudhal: <\/span><\/span>To worship another one apart from one\u2019s own AchAryan. The one that is reference here is none other than perumAL sriman nArAyaNan HIMSELF. HE is very difficult to reach by one\u2019s own efforts. HE is not to be seen by one\u2019s naked eyes. HE is not so easily attainable through yOgams etc. If a person goes behind such a perumAL as the ONE who protects him forever and one who will be pleasant to interact with, disregarding his own AchAryan, it is very foolish says svAmi aruLALa perumAL emberumAnAr.<\/p>\n

eRRe! :<\/span> This is an exclamatory remark. svAmi aruLALa perumAL emberumAnAr weighs out both AchAryan that a person had ostracized and perumAL and lets out a sigh, \u00a0looking at the pitiable and foolish state of this particular person who had disregarded his AchAryan. He says \u201ceRRe\u201d with a lot of pain and loss of hope towards this person. Then he goes ahead and gives an analogy to this situation.<\/p>\n

than kaiporuL vittu:<\/span><\/span> A person throws away his money that he has in his pockets. He has saved that money in his pocket in order to use it when the need arises.<\/p>\n

ArEnum kAsiniyil thAm pudaitha:<\/span><\/span> This person goes ahead and hunts for a treasure that he believes would be there underground. He believes that someone some time ago might have buried some treasure here and goes to dig it up in order to use that a source of funds to meet his timely needs.<\/p>\n

apporuL thEdi thirivAn aRRu: <\/span><\/span>Hence, the act of such a person that is being reference above in the \u201ctreasure\u201d example above is being compared to the act of a person who disregards his own AchAryan and goes ahead to find perumAL sriman nArAyaNan somewhere. \u201cthirivAn\u201d strictly would mean the person but in this context it points to the act of such a person rather than the person himself. It is called \u201cthozhil uvamam\u201d in thamizh grammar.<\/p>\n

Hence, we can see that if a person disregards his AchAryan and goes to seek perumAL sriman nArAyaNan on his own efforts, it is as foolish as digging up the ground to seek treasure when in fact, he has ready cash in his hand to meet a timely need.
