AchArya Hrdhayam sUthram 221
Contd.
The Third Ten
It was seen that the prime quality of
the Lord highlighted in this ten is omni-presence. It was also noted that though
He is spread everywhere, He is not easily pereceptible due to our limited nature
of sensory organs. He is not affected by the defects of the souls or insentients
where He is present.The Lord grants release from cycle of births to those souls
who consider Him as means and end. The initial grant of physical body was wasted
and it distanced one from the Lord Almighty. This led to a situation where the
soul knew only to enter various births but did not understand how to get
release. The yearning grew for AzhwAr towards the Lord which culminated in the
Lord showing Him His abode and granting it to AzhwAr. In the previous ten AzhwAr
desired the brightest mOksham. What is it actually? Service unto the Lord.
AzhwAr cherished the beauty of the Lord with His divine ornaments. The
service mentioned above was desired by AzhwAr at all places, at all times and at
all states. The Lord who is the Lord of the one and all displayed His
presence in all states, all places which AzhwAr apprecaited greatly.

Summary: After having
enjoyed the Almighty's prsence in everything, AzhwAr became very mirthful which
trsnposed into AzhwAr appreciating the LOrd through deeds, words, mind and so
on. This led to a state where AzhwAr subservience did not just stop with
the Lord but extended towards His devotees. The service not just to Him
but to His devotees, the shEshathvam not just to Him but to His devotees is the
ultimate, which AzhwAr's mind culminated into.
