Previous Decad<\/a><\/p>\n No specific introduction.<\/p>\n In the sixth decad – for those who wonder “Is there any way for the most lowly person with very inferior tools to approach emperumAn<\/a> who is avAptha samasthakAman (one who has all desires fulfilled), nirapEksha (one who has no expectations), paripUrNa (fully complete)?”, AzhwAr<\/a> explains that though emperumAn is fully complete, he being very simple due to his sriya:pathithvam (being the husband of srI mahAlakshmi<\/a>) and those who worship do not have the ability to fully satisfy emperumAn<\/a>, and emperumAn too does not have any specific need that will be fulfilled by such offerings, as explained by bhagavAn<\/a> himself in the middle portion of bhagavath gIthA, approaching him is very easy to do.<\/p>\n In the sixth decad – for those who wonder “Though he is simple with auspicious qualities, since he has no unfulfilled desires due to being the husband of srI mahAlaklshmi, what to do with our limited tools if it is difficult to worship him to match his complete nature?”, AzhwAr<\/a> explains that emperumAn<\/a>‘s completeness is that which accepts the worshipper turning towards him alone as the single quality to acknowledge\/accept him. To explain the simple nature of worshipping emperumAn<\/a>,\u00a0AzhwAr<\/a> highlights that:<\/p>\n See nampiLLai<\/a>\u2018s introduction.<\/p>\n In the first padhigam<\/a>, AzhwAr<\/a> enjoyed emperumAn<\/a> being sarvasmAthparan (superior to everyone else). In the second padhigam<\/a>, he asked everyone to worship such supreme lord. Subsequently (in the third padhigam<\/a>), his easy approachability which is required for worshipping him is explained. Then (in fourth padhigam<\/a>), AzhwAr<\/a> explained his aparAdha sahathvam (tolerating mistakes) which is the cause for his easy approachability. Subsequently (in fifth padhigam<\/a>), his simplicity and easy-going nature are explained. When asked “what is the use of all of these if he is very difficult to worship?”,\u00a0AzhwAr<\/a> says that he is svArAdhan (very easy to worship).<\/p>\n In the previous padhigam, AzhwAr<\/a> said “I am unqualified” and emperumAn<\/a> convinced AzhwAr to be with him and then thinks that\u00a0AzhwAr<\/a> was accepted by him for some purpose, but since then nothing has happened. Now, if one thinks that the insignificant jIvAthmA<\/a> with his inferior tools cannot worship sarvEsvaran (supreme lord) matching his greatness, that is not true. Though bhagavAn<\/a>, due to his being the master of srI mahAlakshmi<\/a>, has no unfulfilled desires and does not become any more complete by the offerings given by the samsAri jIvAthmA<\/a> who is bound in this material world), how can one worship him? When the jIvAthmA<\/a> performs a small kainkaryam to fulfil his own nature of servitude, bhagavAn<\/a> considers that itself as a great favour. Since\u00a0bhagavAn<\/a> already has everything and does not need to be satisfied any further by the jIvAthmA<\/a>‘s offerings, since he is waiting to acknowledge the jIvAthmA<\/a> irrespective of whatever is offered by him and since he is ready to freely interact with the jIvAthmA<\/a> due to his being the master of srI mahAlakshmi, approaching bhagavAn<\/a> is a lot easier unlike approaching other dhEvathAs. As one engages in bhagavath vishayam, all the obstacles will be removed. Approaching emperumAn<\/a> would also be enjoyable; jIvAthmA need not seek out for additional materials to satisfy emperumAn. Since it is relating to approaching bhagavAn<\/a>, there is no question of prathyavAya (limitations\/mistakes); there is no restriction based on materials, time and the qualification of the worshipper. Thus AzhwAr<\/a> says bhagavAn<\/a> is easily worshippable.<\/p>\n nampiLLai beautifully explains sthOthra rathnam slOkam 28:<\/p>\n thvadhangrimudhhdhisya kadhApi kEnachith yathAthathA vApi sakruth kruthOnjali |<\/em> nampiLLai then explains bhagavath gIthA slOkamn 9.26:<\/p>\n pathram pushpam palam thOyam yO mE bhakthyA prayachchathi |<\/em> mahAbhAratham udhyOga parvam 87.13 “anyath pUrNAdhapAm kumbhAdhithyAdhi<\/em>” (bhagavAn<\/a> vishNu does not expect anything more than a pot of water for washing hands\/feet and a kind enquiry).<\/p>\n nampiLLai also quotes mOksha dharmam slOkam 171.63:<\/p>\n yA: kriyAssamprayukthA: syurEkAntha gathabudhdhibhi: | In this way, AzhwAr<\/a> establishes that it is very easy to worship emperumAn<\/a>.<\/p>\n Each pAsuram is discussed subsequently.<\/p>\n adiyen sarathy ramanuja dasan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> srI: srImathE satakOpAya nama: srImathE rAmAnujAya nama: srImadh varavaramunayE nama: Full series >> First Centum Previous Decad vidhura presenting banana peels to krishNa with great love Highlights from thirukkurugaippirAn piLLAn\u2018s introduction No specific introduction.
