AchArya Hrdhayam 211
contd.
swAmi azhagia maNavALap perumAL nAyanAr
speaks about the means, obstacles, the nature of the soul and the
Lord.
Here, the nature of the goal is discussed.This is
summarised again in four padhigam-s of thiru-voi mozhi namely
emmA, vozhivil, nedu and vEi.
i. emmA:" emmA vEttuth thiRamum
cheppam" 2-9 of thiru voi mozhi categorically spells out AzhwAr's
opinion that the salvation/service to Him, should be for His sake and not for
ours. " thanakkEyAga enaik koLLum EdhEA" are the key
words.
ii. vozhivil: " vozhivil
kAlamellAm vudanAi manni adimai seiyya vENdum nAm" thiru voi mozhi 3-3;
prescribes service to HIm at all places, all times.
iii. nedu: "nedumARku
adimai seivEan pOle" 8-10 further extends this service to His
devotees rather than Him.
iv. vEi: " vEi maru thOl
iNai " talks to carry out the intentions of the Lord without going against His
mind eventhough that may not be to fullest liking of us. "vundhan thiru vuLLam
idar kedum dhORum" are the words which underscore the need for fulfilling His
mind being our goal to be attained.
