The Fifth Ten
The Love for
the Lord
"pEAr amar pin ninRu kazhiya migu
yAneAyenna vAithu ARRAgillAdhu nErAi meliya vUdu pukku
vaLara..."
Summary: It was seen in the
preceding posting that the Lord is
the reason for increasing the increasing yearning for Him, the reason
for the Love and Affection towards Him. The creation of such Love, the
emancipation of such love, the evolution of such love, the impact of the Love
on AzhwAr is further explained.
The great love-pEaramar
kAdhal- emerges from the Lord's everlasting beautiful
form. This Love settles down in the mind of AzhwAr and creates
restlessness. Does it stop with that? The friends around AzhwAr comments
on this love. The love manifests itself into thriving oneself by acting like
the Lord- I created this whole world, I am the ultimate in
learning, I am the ultimate in what one sees, I am the pancha-bhUdham,
the actions, the cause-effects, the heaven, hell etc. This reflcts that AzhwAr
cannot live without the Almighty even for a second. Even the physique of AzhwAr melts on thinking of sweetness of the
Lord Almighty. Is this state of affair intermittent for AzhwAr? No this is an
experience day in and day out for
AzhwAr.
The auspicious qualities and deeds of the Lord pierces into the mind of AzhwAr and melts him time and
again. That is the nature of love towards the lord-great love-pEr amar kAdhal.
