< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> tells his heart \u201clet the chEthanars (sentient entities)<\/a> carry on with whatever they are doing. Oh my heart! Consider first what I am telling you\u201d<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n thiRambAdhen nenjamE sengaNmAl kaNdAy<\/em> en nenjamE \u2013 Oh my heart! (this meaning) thiRambAdhu kadaikkatpidi<\/strong> could be added in the end [of the verse] to get the meaning. Or, it can be recited together as in thiRambAdhu aRam pAvam enRu iraNdum AvAn<\/strong> to get the meaning. Alternatively, thiRambAdhu en nenjamE<\/strong> could be considered as it is and meaning can be obtained. Oh heart! You, who are carrying out whatever I tell you, without any mistake! Oh heart, who says unless I see emperumAn<\/a> I will not go back!<\/p>\n en nenjamE<\/strong> \u2013 Oh heart, who keeps asking me to tell everything!<\/p>\n sengaNmAl kaNdAy<\/strong> \u2013 look at emperumAn who has lotus like eyes. chAndhOgya upanishath 1-6-7 says \u201cthasya yathA kapyAsam puNdarIkam Evam akshiNI<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn\u2019s eyes are like lotus just blossomed by sun); nammAzhwAr<\/a> in his thiruvAimozhi 6-7-10 says \u201canaiththulagum udaiya aravindhalOchanan <\/em>\u201d (the lotus eyed (emperumAn<\/a>) has all the worlds). Alternatively, sengaNmAl<\/em>\u00a0 could be taken to mean having reddish eyes out of affection for us, his followers, and hence we can take it that AzhwAr<\/a> is asking his heart to look at emperumAn who has reddish eyes due to overflowing affection for us.<\/p>\n aRam pAvam enRu iraNdum AvAn<\/strong> \u2013 he [emperumAn<\/a>] himself is both puNyam<\/em> (virtuous deed) and pAvam<\/em> (bad or sinful deed). His anugraham (kindness or liking) is puNyam<\/em> and his nigraham (disliking) is pAvam<\/em>. There is nothing else apart from these two which would give the benefits [of our actions]. All are under his disposal only. kaushIthaki upanishath 3-9 says \u201cEsha Eva sAdhu karma kArayathi<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn himself makes us perform good deeds). AzhwAr<\/a> will not hold on to deeds which do not make sense as means as he avoids both action and activity as emanating from him (Isn\u2019t he one who holds on to emperumAn as the means!). Looking superficially, it would appear that puNyam<\/em> and pAvam<\/em> are different from him. But if one were to look at things deeply, it would be clear that he is the one who controls everything.<\/p>\n How is this?<\/p>\n puRandhAn immaNdhAn maRikadaldhAn mArudhandhAn vAndhAnE kaNdAy<\/strong> \u2013 all are under the disposal of emperumAn<\/a>. maN<\/em> (earth), maRikadal<\/em> (agitating ocean, with lapping waves), mArudham <\/em>(breeze), and the entities which are outside these elements such as mahAn<\/em> (great entity) etc are all his manifestations, says the AzhwAr<\/a>. AzhwAr tells his heart to hold on to the fact that emperumAn is the chEthanan<\/em> (sentient entity) with the body. Or, kadaikkaN<\/em> \u2013 hold on to this till the end, without any error. nammAzhwAr<\/a> has also mercifully said this in his thiruvAimozhi 6-9-7 \u201culagil thiriyum karuma gadhiyAy ulagamAy ulagukkE OruyirumAnAy<\/em>\u201d (you are the deeds, the entities which carry out the deeds and the life of these entities)! When emperumAn\u2019s independence is absolute without any shortcoming, how can the chEthana (sentient entity)\u2019s thinking that he is independent be congruent? The fact is that chEthana is never independent; it is just that he<\/em> thinks that he is independent. In mahAbhAratham uththara kANdam 42-35 it says \u201cya: anyathA santhamAnam AthmAnam anyathA prathipadhyathE<\/em>\u201d (whoever thinks that emeprumAn\u2019s possession of AthmA<\/a> is his…). Even when chEthana thinks that he is independent, due to the grace of emperumAn, the chEthana\u2019s nature is not destroyed.<\/p>\n We shall consider the 97th<\/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 \u201clet the chEthanars (sentient entities) carry on with whatever they are doing.
