nam-piLLai 9 -avathArigai Contd. nam-piLLai
Continuing on nam-piLLai's avathArigai for
"pathudai adiyavaRku ELiyavan' 1-3 of thiru voi mozhi:
Edu:
He is the person who beheaded
vAnasura then. He incarnated here and became easily accessible to one and all.
Those who opposed Him like sisupAlAdhigaL, bhUdhanai, sakatAsuran
,yamaLArjunargaL were vanquished by Him and those who desired Him thrived on
HIm.
Azhwar mentions several times "
worship Him" . Unless, He is in one's vision one is unable to worship. Unless
worshipped, He is not in the vision. Then how to surrender unto
Him?............
The Lord being the supreme
entity, is it possible for Him to come down to such a
level?
Being, omnipotent it is indeed
possible. In fact, He Himself has mentioned this as :
"My births are not due to kArmic
effects but due to my volition. Even at that low level His supremacy is
attained. ....Hence , in rAmakrishNAdhi avathArangaL He is sulabhan and Hence
easily accessible, surrender unto Him, is AzhwAr's counsel.
Among avathAram-s
krishNAvathAram is the extreme end of this simplicity. Even, in that the episode
of butter mouthed Lord makes AzhwAr faint for six months
exclaiming
"ethiRam"
.
First, AzhwAr submerged in
Lord's supremacy. He adjusted himself and preached to the world in the next
thiru voi mozhi. In this thiru voi mozhi, AzhwAr submerged in His simplicity and
fainted.
Thus swAmi nam-piLLai's introduction for
this padhigam visualises and brings in front of us the Lord with butter in His
hand, in His mouth in the simplest of the simplest state. That, this is the
reflection of the supreme is explained.That, this simplicity cannot be taken for
granted is also mentioned by those opposing being demolished. That many are
enjoying this simplicity while some who oppose fall, is explained through
illustration like water-pond, lamp. That, though a supreme entity cannot be
reached by ordinary mortals like us being the question raised by one and all is
answered by mentioning that it is possible to reach Him, if He lowers Himself to
our reach. That, He cannot be worshipped as He is not in our vision is answered
by the fact that He has indeed given vision in the incarnations and these are
out of His volition are explained.
Last but not the least, the fact that AzhwAr
was able to retrieve himself from the impact of supremacy and preach but fainted
on turning his thoughts on His extreme simplicity is emotionally spelt
out.
This grand introduction, will take
anybody into levels of ecstasy and automatically push us into the spirit to
dwell into the micro vyAkyAnam-s of each pAsuram-s to
follow.
Is that not the greatness of swAmi
nam-piLLai?
