AchArya Hrdhyam -sUthram 222
Contd.
It was seen that the Lord Almighty is present
everywhere. Is it a great thing? Even the sky encompasses everything. The great
thing is the Lord is not just omni-present. He is not merely inside and outside
the souls and things. He is the Governing factor of one and all in the whole
scheme of things. The omni-presence sparkles because of this factor.
Moreover, AzhwAr desired service to the
Almighty at all sates, all places and all times. The Lord displayed His great
deeds in the past as if it is present period to AzhwAr. AzhwAr's present
period and pAst of the Lord became equated. This enabled AzhwAr to exprience the
great deeds, pranks and other activites and events of the Lord
.
AzhwAr felt very much that he was not able to serve
the Lord with flowers and worship during the Lord's great deeds like vanquish of
lankA or the conquer of the seven bulls and so on. The Lord removed this
grievance by accepting AzhwAr's nenjam as an adornment- pUsum sAndhu, AzhwAr's
soul as a garland- puNayum kanni enadhu vuyir, AzhwAr's song as silk robe-
vAsagam sei mAlaiyEa vAn pattAdai and so on. AzhwAr became so fulfilled on His
activieties soul and body being accepted as desired ones by the Lord Almighty.
This reflected the Lord's immeasurable affection and Love towards AzhwAr. This
led ot ecstasy and pangs of separation.
The pang transposed into search for Him which
culminated into seeing all the things around as Him.-yEaRia
pithu.AzhwAr
desired the Lord as He would be in the nithya-vibhUthi. The Lord granted this to
AzhwAr in this world. AzhwAr got the vision of the "Lord with peirya pirAtti".
The vision enjoyed by the souls there is granted to AzhwAr here. The time
restriciton, place restriciton are all removed. The unparallel joy , eternal
mirth is expressed by AzhwAr as "vEvil inbam", thus. The matchless divine feet
granted to AzhwAr by the Lord is appreciated time and again by swAmi nam-AzhwAr.
This automatically culminated into a. Indifference
towards other deities. b. Indifference towards ones' body and soul and c.
Indifference towards worldly pleasures including materialistic
ends.
These convictions are expressed in a. thErpArai yAm ini thiru voi mozhi 4-6- indifference towards
other deities--dhEvathAnthra vairAgyam. b. yERALum iRaiyOnum
thiru voi mozhi 4-8- indifference towards ones' body and souls
and
c. indifference towards joyless world -worldly
pleasures-materialstic ends but painful earth in 'nannAdhAr
muRuvalippa" thiru voi mozhi 4-9.
Further, The Fourth Ten
"oru nAyakam enRu, rAjya
swargAthmAnubhava alpAsthirathva
sAvadhigathvAdhigaLaiyum..."
Summary: It was seen that AzhwAr
shunned materialistic and other pleasures. AzhwAr explains the temporary nature
of these in the thiru voi mozhi "oru nAyakam". The worldly pleasures are
temporary. The status -royal and other status -is temporary.The materialsitic
wealth is temporary. The enjoyment in the heaven is temporary. The enjoyment of
ones soul is also not eternal happiness is explained in this thiru voi mozhi
from the first to final pAsuram.
pAsuram-s: The demerits of the worldly
pleasures , the disadvantages of this materialistic wealth and stauts, the
temporary nature of the heavenly enjoyment are all listed out in the thiru voi
mozhi "oru nAyakamAi" 4-1;
"peru nAdu kANa immaiyilEa pichai thAm
kOLvar"-------------------------->} The Worldly
pleasures,status, royal
"vAzhndhArgaL vAzhndhadhu vAzhndhE niRpar
enbandhu illai"----->}status are all temporary and vanish
within
"vemmin oLi veyil kANagam pOi
kumaithinbargaL"----------------------------------->} no time. Hence,
apporach the feet of
"podi sEAr thugaLAi pOvargaL
"-------------------------------------------------------------->}
the Lord Almighty.
"kudi mannu suvargam eidhiyum mELvargaL"--->
4-1-9---> Even after reaching the Heaven, the souls are bound
to come back to earth after the puNNIyam in
their acct. is exhausted.Hence,suvargam is not
permanent.
"iRugal iRappu
ennum"------>4-1-10----> The enjoyment of ones soul is also not
entirely satisfactory. This is also not eternally yielding happiness and is not
with unlimited joy.
