<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr tells his heart to keep enjoying further the boundless greatness of emperumAn. His heart asks him \u201cI have been enjoying his greatness. What else should I do?\u201c. AzhwAr says \u201cyou have only learnt to attain him after controlling your sensory perceptions. What have you seen among his qualities?\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n padi kaNdu aRidhiyE pAmbaNaiyinAn puL<\/em> vadivil [vadivu il] \u2013 without any form padi kaNdu aRidhiyE<\/strong> \u2013 this can be construed as AzhWar asking his heart whether it has seen and known emperumAn\u2019s qualities or it has seen and\u00a0 known emperumAn\u2019s divine form. padi<\/em> can mean either quality or physical form. emperumAn\u2019s divine physical form is a part of his qualities.<\/p>\n pAmbu aNaiyinAn puL kodi kaNdu aRidhiyE<\/strong> \u2013 have you seen the way emperumAn has given his divine form to thiruvananthAzhwAn (AdhiSEshan) and known about it? Have you seen his divine form in front of his garuda flag mast and known about it?<\/p>\n kURAy<\/strong> \u2013 you, who said that you have seen everything, please say what you have seen.<\/p>\n vadivil poRi aindhum uLLadakki<\/strong> \u2013 controlling inside the body, without letting them wander outside, the five sensory perceptions starting with ear etc. Alternatively, controlling the formless sensory perceptions. It is implied here that sensory perceptions have diversified desires, instead of converging interests. Has not thirumangai AzhwAr<\/a> said in periya thirumozhi 1-6-3 \u201ckaNdavA thirindha<\/em>\u201d (wandering as pleased)!<\/p>\n pOdhodu nIr Endhi neRi ninRa nenjamE nI<\/strong> \u2013 Oh my heart! you have controlled your senses and you are worshipping emperumAn with flowers and water. Please say what you have seen as the result of your devotion (did you see his divine form when he came in front of his flag?). Can you feel smug with the knowledge about him, before seeing him? While one should feel deeply desirous about enjoying emperumAn more and more, can you feel satisfied with mere knowledge? If one were satisfied with a little bit of enjoyment, it would not amount to really attaining emperumAn. If one were satisfied with mere knowledge, what had been attained would not be considered as knowledge at all! It would be considered as ignorance. Even nammAzhwAr<\/a>, who was granted knowledge with the dimension of devotion, through \u201cmadhinalam aruLinan<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn granted knowledge and devotion), did not feel satiated with that and with the anguish of seeing that emperumAn immediately, in the thiruvAimozhi 5.3<\/a> \u201cmAsaRu sOdhi<\/em>\u201d, threatened to carry out madal<\/em> on emperumAn (in ancient literature, madal<\/em> is a method by which the beloved girl will inform the whole town about the way the beloved boy had given hopes to her and then showed disinterest in her, with the aim of appealing to the townspeople to get them together)!<\/p>\n We shall consider the 86th<\/sup> pAsuram next.<\/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 tells his heart to keep enjoying further the boundless greatness of emperumAn.
