<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n When AzhwAr<\/a> meditated on emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s divine form when he measured the worlds, he desired to see that form with his eyes, which are external, on his face. He becomes disgusted when he is not able to see emperumAn with his external eyes and after thinking about it, says \u201cit is not emperumAn\u2019s fault that we are unable to see him. It is our fault only\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n anRE nam kaN kANum AzhiyAn kAruruvam<\/em> kaN kaNNAl \u2013 with the external eye which goes by the name of \u2018eye\u2019 anRE nam kaN kANum AzhiyAn kAruruvam<\/strong> \u2013 our external eye will see the dark, divine form of the supreme being who holds the divine disc on his hand, only on that day.<\/p>\n When asked, \u201cOn which day?\u201d AzhwAr<\/a> says<\/p>\n enREnum kaN kaNNAl kANAdha avvuruvai nenjennum uL kaN uNarndhu kANumEl<\/strong> \u2013 our external eye is similar to the eye which is present on the feather of a peacock. On that day when our heart, which is also called as internal eye, is able to see the divine form of emperumAn<\/a>, our external \u201cpeacock\u201d eye, which is unable to see the divine form of emperumAn, will be able to see.<\/p>\n inRE nAm kANAdhiruppadhuvum<\/strong> \u2013 it is now when our internal eye of heart is unable to visualise emperumAn<\/a> that our external eye is also not able to see. When the internal eye sees him, the external eye will also see him.<\/p>\n When AzhwAr<\/a> said in the 26th<\/sup> pAsuram that he and his heart are now in harmony, why is it that his internal eye (heart) is not able to see emperumAn<\/a>? The opinion here is that only when one reaches the stage of paramabhakthi<\/em> in which the person cannot sustain himself if he separated from emperumAn, could the heart be able to visualise him. Thus the implied meaning is that when one survives when separated from emperumAn, he would not be able to see emperumAn with his external eye.<\/p>\n We will move on to the 29th<\/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> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai When AzhwAr meditated on emperumAn\u2019s divine form when he measured the worlds, he desired to see that form with his eyes, which are external, on his face.
