AchArya Hrdhayam -219
contd.
The Lord graced AzhwAr by His voluntary Grace and
settled in Azhwar's mind. AzhwAr appreciated his mind for this and
cherished the qualities of the Lord. He started counselling the fellow souls
regarding the do-s and dont-s and gave thirumandhiram's essential elements to
them.
Further,
"..i.eLidhAga avadharithu, ii. pizhaigaLai
sahithu, iii.puraiARak kalandhu,iv.alpa sandhushtanAi, v.amrudhamE
aushadhamAkki..."
Summary:
Such a great Lord is easily accessible. He does
not take cognizance to our mistakes while approaching Him. He mixes us with us
totally.He is very happy and satisfied with even small things offered to Him
with sincerity. This whole process of approaching Him itself is the remedy for
the samsAram whcih is akin to converting the nectar into medicine-amrudham
becoming aushadham.
These are thus seen in the third to seventh
padhigam of first pathu of thiru-voi-mozhi.
The pAsuram-s which show us these qualities
are:
i."eLidhAga
avadharithu"----> the 3rd
padhigham--> "pathudai adiyavarku eLiyavan" deals entirely
with this aspect. For instance, "pal piRappil eLivarum iyalvinan"
1-3-2; The Lord's saulabhyam-easy accessibility is emphasised. He
incarnates and is easily approchable.=saulabhyam
ii."pizhaigaLai
sahithu"-----> the 4th padhigam-->
When surrendering unto Him He does not attributes weightage to our
mistakes; "en pizhaithAL thiruvadi in thagavinukku " 1-4-7
-poRai;
iii. "purai aRak
kalandhu"--->the 5th padhigam-->Not
only that He condones our mistakes but
even when the soul tries to drift-off considering ones inferiority, the Lord
freely mixes with them. " dhisaigaL ellAm thiruvaidyAl thAyOn thAn
vuruvanEa" 1-5-3;sElam;
iv."alpa-sandhustanAi"----> the 6th
padhigam---> For all this what does He require in
quid-pro-quo?
Nothing. He is satisfied with whatever little
offered to Him. alpa-sandhustan.-"purivadhuvum
pugai pUvEA" 1-6-1.
v."amrudhamEA aushadham
Akki"---> the 7th padhigam--> He being
approached is the sweetest nectar i.e. amrudham. This itself is the panacea for
the cycle of rebirths. -->aushadham.--->
"thUya amudhaip parugip parugi en mAyap piRavi mayarvaruthEanEa"
1-7-3.
