<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> says that even if one does not have any connection with the means prescribed in SAsthras (sacred texts) such as karma yOgam, gyAna yOgam and bhakthi yOgam (being involved in carrying out deeds, having knowledge of the deeds carried out and having total devotion to\u00a0 respectively), if one has the knowledge \u201cemperumAn<\/a> is the Lord and I am the servitor\u201d he would attain the high place of paramapadham (SrIvaikuNtam) mentioned in the sacred texts. Alternatively, one could construe that AzhwAr is wondering whether those who do not follow the means prescribed in the SAsthras can attain him.<\/p>\n Let us enjoy the pAsuram and its meanings.<\/p>\n imaiyAdha kaNNAl iruL agala nOkki<\/em> imaiyAdha kaNNAl \u2013 with the inner eye\u00a0[heart] which does not have any contraction of knowledge vyAkyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n iamiyAdha kaNNAl<\/strong> \u2013 here, the word kaN<\/em> [eye] refers to the mind. Mind is the eye which does not blink [unlike the external eye]. One should refer to the external eye when one is talking of removing the darkness outside. When one is referring to removing ignorance, one should talk about the inner eye or mind. SrI vishNu dharmam 275-2 says \u201cmanasA thu viSudhdhEna<\/em>\u201d(he could be seen only with the pure mind). nammAzhwAr<\/a>, in periya thiruvandhAdhi 28 says \u201ckatkaNNAl kANAdha avvuruvai nenjennum utkaNNEl kANum uNarndhu<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn<\/a> cannot be seen with the external eyes but only with the internal eye).<\/p>\n iruL agala nOkki<\/strong> \u2013 thinking in such a way that avidhyA<\/em> (ignorance) etc would leave. Knowing self and emperumAn<\/a> (true nature) after the darkness of ignorance is removed.<\/p>\n amaiyAp poRi pulangaL aindhum<\/strong> \u2013 the five sensory organs of ears, mouth, eyes, nose and body and the five matters of sound, taste, light, smell and feel, which cannot be controlled and which cannot be satiated. The word poRi<\/em> also means trap and in this case, it would convey the meaning that we get trapped by the five matters of sound, taste etc.<\/p>\n namaiyAmal<\/strong> \u2013 without control. In other words, the sensory organs such as ears etc reaching their targets.<\/p>\n Agaththu aNaippAr aNaivarE<\/strong> \u2013 even if they are not able to control their sensory organs, having the knowledge that they are subservient to emperumAn<\/a>. Those who keep him in their hearts will reach paramapadham (SrIvaikuNtam). Alternatively, if one considers the word aNaivarE<\/em> as conveying the meaning \u2013 will such people reach emperumAn? \u2013 the meaning will change as: can those who keep emperumAn in their hearts but are unable to control their sensory organs, \u00a0reach paramapadham [the answer is that they cannot]. In the first case, all that is required is not to shun emperumAn when he himself comes and showers his grace [on the jIvAthmA].<\/p>\n AyiravAy nAgaththu aNaiyAn nagar<\/strong> \u2013 it is said that the entity attained by mukthAthmA (liberated from material realm) is emperumAn<\/a> who is lying on the 1000 hooded ananthAzhvAn<\/em> (AdhiSEshan). This same has been mentioned in paryankavidhyai <\/em>also. The service rendered by one ananthAzhvAn<\/em> is the sum total of all the services by all the others in SrIvaikuNtam.<\/p>\n nagar<\/strong> \u2013 as nammAzhwAr<\/a> mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 2.8.4<\/a> \u201cnalamantham illadhOr nAdu<\/em>\u201d (it is a unique place where there is no end to kainkaryam ). Instead of calling it as a nAdu<\/em> (country) AzhwAr<\/a> is referring to it as nagar<\/em> (city). It is to emphasise that it is common to all to attain the country paramapadham.<\/p>\n We shall move on to the 33rd<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/p>\n adiyEn krishNa ramanuja dhAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai AzhwAr says that even if one does not have any connection with the means prescribed in SAsthras (sacred texts) such as karma yOgam, gyAna yOgam and bhakthi yOgam (being involved in carrying out deeds, having knowledge of the deeds carried … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-iyarpa","category-mudhal-thiruvandhadhi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16621\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/paramapadhanathan.jpg\")
