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. The Lord is easily accessible. He condones our mistakes. He mixes with us
freely. He does not expect anything big in return. He himself is the remedy for
the births and re-births.
Further,
"..i..nEr puraiyath thannai niyamithu;ii.
bhOgathai sAthmipithu; iii.bhakthi kananaigaLukkuokka
varumavanudaiya sEvaikku.."
Summary: i. Though, the Lord mixes with us
freely, He does not expect the souls to act as per His wishes. Hence, He lowers
Himself for practically whatever is expected of the souls.
ii.The soul cannot withstand the sudden
joy and experience if they are granted at one go. Hence, the experience is given
gradually.
iii. The Lord does not expect too much
bhakthi. Even by coincidence or without intention if one calls Him the Lord is
ready to come towards the soul. Even when the number 26 the Lord thinks "Oh! I
am being called. Let Me go" 26 being the 26th thathvam.Thus, the Lord makes
Himself suitable for even such accidental/intentional/coincidental
invocations.
The relevant pAsuram-s:
i."nEr purai vaNnan" 1-8-11---> the eighth padhigam---> Instead of
the souls raising to the level of the Lord while mixing with Him, the Lord is
flexible and makes equates Himslef with them while mixing with them--->
Arjva guNam.
ii."ennudaich
chUzahl vuLAn to vuchiyuLLEA" 1-9-1-->
the ninth padhigam---> Granting joy and experience gradually to
enable the soul to withstand this.
iii. " eNNilum varum en
ini vENduvam"1-10-2;-the tenth padhigam.--> He
makes Himself available even on samll excuses.
Thus, the ten padhigam of first pathu in thiru-voi-mozhi is
explained.
