<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> was asked \u201cwhen you are very sure that the means to attain him is through his mercy, why are you, having\u00a0 been in this swirl of births, compelling him to shower his grace on you when you should stay aloof, saying \u2018let him do when he wants\u2019?\u201d. AzhwAr responds saying \u201cisn\u2019t that behaviour of staying aloof, only for those with true knowledge [about emperumAn<\/a>]? Is it possible for those who have attachment towards emperumAn born out of ignorance, arising from their affection for him, to stay quiet?\u201d. AzhwAr was again asked, \u201cYou are his servitor. Should you not be as per your nature [of being his servitor]? Could you compel him like this?\u201d AzhwAr says \u201ceven though that [of staying quiet] is the rule, when the affection starts growing, is it possible to remain like that?\u201d<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n kANak kazhi kAdhal kaimikkuk kAttinAl<\/em> thirumAlai kANak kazhi kAdhal \u2013 the deep desire to worship emperumAn<\/a> kANak kazhi kAdhal<\/strong> \u2013 an affection which will not diminish, even if not seen. Alternatively, an affection which goes on increasing as one goes on seeing<\/p>\n kai mikkuk kAttinAl<\/strong> \u2013 various meanings are given \u2013 if it grows abundantly; if it breaks through the shore;\u00a0 if it increases excessively; if I get involved more.<\/p>\n nANappadum enRAl nANumE<\/strong> \u2013 is it possible for one, until emperumAn<\/a> himself comes head over heels, to stand in a corner, unobtrusively, shyly? Is it possible to say that we should not fall head over heels towards him? Is it possible to say that you are the lord and I am the servant?<\/p>\n nANumE<\/strong> \u2013 is it possible to hear mere words and stay quietly?<\/p>\n On top of that<\/p>\n karumAlai<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> who has dark complexion, which removes one\u2019s fatigue.<\/p>\n ponmEni kAttA mun<\/strong> \u2013 before showing his form which attracts one\u2019s mind<\/p>\n thirumAlai nangaL thiru pENi mun kAttum<\/strong> \u2013 thirumagaL<\/a>, who is periya pirAttiyAr (SrI mahAlakshmi), will show us emperumAn, the consort of thirumagaL, desirously. Just as it is mentioned in mUnRAm thiruvandhAdhi 1 \u201cthirukkaNdEn ponmEni kaNdEn<\/em>\u201d, only after having dharSan<\/em> (audience) of pirAtti can one have dharSan<\/em> of emperumAn. If the chEthana<\/a> (sentient entity) commits an offence by falling head over heels on them, not considering his faults, due to the radiance of their two being together, pirAtti is there near emperumAn<\/a> to say, as said in SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 166-4 \u201cna kaSchith nAparAdhyathi<\/em>\u201d (there is none who has not committed a fault) and to make emperumAn to ignore his offence and unite with him.<\/p>\n nANappadum enRAl nANumE<\/strong> \u2013 for the chEthana<\/a>, the involvement [with emperumAn] is there without any shortcoming. emperumAn does not mind the faults in the chEthana. Why then should he feel shy?<\/p>\n nangaL thiru<\/strong> \u2013 this implies that she is the mother for us, to carry out the role of purushkAram <\/em>(recommend us to emperumAn<\/a>). Since she is there to carry out that role, the chEthana<\/a> does not have to move away from emperumAn thinking that he is not qualified to attain him. Neither does he have to fear that he has committed an offence. He cannot also stand aloof, saying \u201clet him shower his mercy when he chooses to\u201d.<\/p>\n We shall move on to the 57th<\/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 was asked \u201cwhen you are very sure that the means to attain him is through his mercy, why are you, having\u00a0 been in this swirl of births, compelling him to shower his grace on you when you should stay … 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":[72,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-irandam-thiruvandhadhi","category-iyarpa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18738","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=18738"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18738\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/vishnu-lakshmi.jpg\")
