<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> is asking whether emperumAn<\/a> should not be attained if one has knowledge.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n yAdhAnum onRaRiyil thannugakkil enkolO<\/em> yAdhAnum \u2013 in any way yAdhAnum onRaRiyil en kolO<\/strong> \u2013 Is it not proper to know any entity? Just as it has been mentioned in mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 67<\/a> \u201coN thAmaraiyAL oruvanaiyE nOkkum uNarvu<\/em>\u201d the implied meaning is that if anything is known, then that knowledge will reach down to emperumAn<\/a>, the antharyAmi (indwelling soul) of that entity and hence it could be said that he is known.<\/p>\n thannugakkil en kolO<\/strong> \u2013 even if one does not know an entity other than oneself, one can at the least like oneself. Could that not be done? The opinion is that since there is no benefit other than desiring emperumAn, if one likes oneself, that would end up in desiring emperumAn.<\/p>\n enkolO yAdhAnum nErndhu anugAvARudhAn<\/strong> \u2013 why is it that he is not attained by offering something? The implied meaning is that since every entity belongs to emperumAn<\/a>, by offering something which belongs to emperumAn, should he not be attained. What is the reason for using the term nErndhu<\/em> (bestowing something) which is actually carrying out a huge activity? The jIvAthmA (soul) on seeing anything thinks that everything is his and (not emperumAn\u2019s) and gets bewildered. He thinks that he is independent. Since he is giving something which he thinks (mistakenly) as his, it could be said that he is bestowing something.<\/p>\n Would emperumAn<\/a> be happy if the chEthana offers something which is not his, but thinks that it is his? Just as it is mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 8-1-10 \u201cthAlgaLai enakkE thalaiththalaich chiRappath thandha pErudhavikkaimmARA thOLgaLai Araththazhuvi ennuyirai aRavilai seydhanan sOdhi<\/em>\u201d – when nammAzhwAr<\/a> gave to emperumAn as his gratitude his AthmA which is actually emperumAn\u2019s, emperumAn was so overjoyed as if he had received something which was not his, that his shoulders, heads, eyes etc multiplied in thousands, as said in the same pAsuram 8-1-10 \u201cthOLgaL AyiraththAy mudigaL AyiraththAy thuNai malarkkangaL AyiraththAy<\/em>\u201d. Thus there is no doubt that emperumAn becomes happy when chEthana offers him anything. Even by offering one\u2019s AthmA to emperumAn, he should be approached is the underlying meaning here.<\/p>\n yAdhAnum thERumA seyyA asurargaLai nEmiyAl pARu pARu AkkinAn pAl<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> held the divine disc in his hand only to destroy the enemies of his followers and not for destroying his enemies.<\/p>\n yAdhAnum thERumA seyyA asurargaLai<\/strong> \u2013 if in the assembly of demons, if there is even one who is favourable, likeprahlAdha, he will protect all the demons. The implied meaning is that he will destroy the demons with his divine disc only if they indulge in activities which do not create trust in emperumAn<\/a>. The words should be rearranged to read pARu pARu AkkinAn pAL yAdhAnum onRaRiyil<\/em> to get the correct meaning. The larger meaning is that one should offer something to him and attain him who removes one\u2019s enemies just as he had removed the demons with his divine disc. One who is powerless should attain the omnipotent. Hence only emperumAn should be attained.<\/p>\n We will take up the 34th<\/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 is asking whether emperumAn should not be attained if one has knowledge.
