nam-piLLai
Another greatness of nam-piLLai is his syle
of avathArigai. When commencing commentary of anyten pAsuram-s the spirit or the
essence or the nucleus of the ten pAsuram-s are given in the introduction. The
meanings of the ten pAsuram-s are brought to the audience in a macro level with
apt illustrations which enables us to have a full understanding and also gears
up for the micro-meanings of the vyAkyAnam-s of each pAsuram to
follow.
For example, after AzhwAr preches what to be
left and what to be followed in the second thiru voi mozhi, he appraises that
The LOrd is easily accessible to those who desire Him.
This is the crux of the ten pAsuram
following "vEdumin muRRavum"
The avathArigai for "pathudai adiyavarku
eLiyavan" thiru voi mozhi 1-3.
Edu:
In the first thiru voi mozhi
AzhwAr stressed that He is supreme. Hence, surrender unto His divine feet was
the counselling given by AzhwAr. Is it possible for a person who does not have
to hands to mount on an elephant? Likewise, will the souls who are submerged in
this worldly materially inclined things be able to access Him? If the
elephant comes down to the level of handless person to enable him to mount
easily, is it not possible for it should not be impossible for him to
mount?
During incarnations, those who
are not fortunate are distanced away from Him while those are indeed fortunate
are able to access HIm very easily. If the Lord is difficult to access then
those in this world will find it complicated to attain HIm. Hence, he came
down to the level of simplicity. This simplicity itslef - Oh! is He so simple-
was the opinion which destanced them. "The same simplicity made
you enjoy Him" was udayavar's comment on seeing
embAr.
If some philonthrophists create
lakes for drinking facilities.Some people fall in that while some quench their
thirst in that.
If a lamp is lit, some survive
with that light while some fall in that get finished. He is the lamp of vEdhAs.
