The Sixth Ten
Contd.
You but nobody else is my refuge- An
impact of extreme devotion.
"AgnAna asakthi yAdhAthmaya
gnAnangaL aLavAl anRikkEa anguRREan ennAn puNarAi ennumpadi meyyamar
bhakthi bhUma balamAgavum ananya gadhithvamudaiya
thamkku..."
Summary: It was seen in the
earlier posting that AzhwAr declares the Lord as the means and also surrenders
at His divine feet. Is it becuase AzhwAr does not have the knowledge of other
means? Or is it beacuse AzhwAr is incapable of executing other means? Or is it
because AzhwAr does realises that the nature of the soul is to surrender unto
Him and it does not behove the soul to consider other
means?
These apart, AzhwAr mentions that " i am a person who has not followed any means. Hence, you have to
be my means and rescue me. I do not have anyone else to salvage me. Please, see
to it that I reach your divine
feet" is AzhwAr's plea. The immense affection and love makes AzhwAr
think in these terms. Hence, it is to be understood that apart from the facts
mentioned above, the effect of extreme devotion- migundha bhakthi- makes AzhwAr to think
about the Lord Almighty and only Him.
