SrI: Dear BhakthAs : Today adiyEn will cover the last KaalakshEpam highlights of Srimath Azhagiya Singar ( slOkams 79-80 ) covering the conversation between Mahaa RaaNi Sumathy and her husband , VivEka Mahaa Raajan . SlOkam 79: Svayaa jushta: pathnyA vidhivadhiha yashtA svayamaham vidhatthE chArtthivyajam sama-dhama-mukhOyam guNagaNa: akasmAth uddhEsyO bhavathi BhagavAn aathmahavisha: pasurBaddhO mukthim bhajathi vigalath karma nigala: (Meaning): Myself (VivEkan ) will become Yajamaanan of this Yaj~nam with You (Sumathy) as my dharma pathni. The guNams like Samam and dhamam will become the officiating priests ( Rthviks). Without seeking any Phalan , this havis of AathmA will be presented to the Lord in this Yaj~nam. As a result , the handcuffs of karmAs will break and the Bhaddha Jeevan will become free to gain Moksham. The Jeevan becomes the adhikAri in this Yaj~nam of aathma- svaroopa SamarpaNam through the overcoming of dEhAthma Bramam and knowing about the Sesha-sEshi relationship ( Aathmaa- paramAthmA vivEkam ) . Here the bound Pasu is the Bhaddha Jeevan . AathmA is the havis . The target (uddhEsyam ) for this aathma havis Yaj~nam is the Supreme Lord , the owner of that aathmA . The handcuffs of karmAs are broken ( Vigalath karma nigala: ) and the aathmaa reaches the state of Mukthi (Mukthim Bhajathi /Mukthi sTAnam prApnOthi) . After this slOkam , VivEkan appeals to his dharma pathni : idham api athra bhavathyA bhAvaneeyam ( You must now understand this as well ) . He addresses his wife with respect by choosing the term , BhavathyA:( BhavathyA: bhAvaneeyam ). SlOkam 80: svaraakshaNa-bharArpaNa-kshaNika-sathriNa: pravartya krupayaa sTithim prabhrabhUtha-poorvOdhayaam jagath-viparivarthana-praTitha-nithyasakthi : svayam kshipathya-punarankuram dhurithamasya Lakshmeepathi: (Meaning ): Here , the general aathma samarpaNam was described . Now for those , who do not have the power to perform the rigorous and demanding Bhakthi yOgam , there is a Sathram (Yaagam ) , which is the handing over the burden of one's rakshaNam (RakshaNa Bharam ) to the Lord Himself ( Bhara SamarpaNam ). This is a Yaagam that can be performed in a KshaNam ( second) . Rakshaa Bhara samarpaNam and Phala SamarpaNam from that raksha should also be placed at the sacred feet of the Lord with prayers and MahA viswAsam in Him as the unfailing protector. Until now , one vyAjam/upAyam for Mukthi ( Bhakthi yOgam ) was mentioned. Now , another VyAjam/UpAyam(VyAjAntharam) is referred to for gaining Moksha Siddhi ( MumukshumAthra-saamAnyam SvaroopAdhi SamarpaNam ) . This is " SvarakshaNa-bhara-samarpaNam " that could be completed in one second ( little time). This Yaj~nam is approved by the VedAs ( VedOktha Sathram ) . This is therfore "Vaidhiki NishtA ". This can be completed in atrice and is capable of sedtroying all sins on anushtAnam ( Sarva paapa vimOkshaNam). Here , Sumathy asks the question: When does Jeevan arrive at Moksha Dasai ? VivEkan answered that one should not expect it happen instaneouly and that dasai (occasion ) will come , when the Saasthra Jn~Anama nd Yukthi are united . This was followed by SlOkam 81 , which was covered in the previous posting . In this slOkam , the one who desires moksham ( MUmukshu) should climb on the steps of the ladder representing Bhagavath dayaa , which was revealed by blemishless SadAchAryAs . The climb by the lucky one should be step by step to reach Paramapadham of the Lord , which is totally devoid of any RajO or TamO guNams (Suddha Satthvamayam). Now , VivEkan anticipates the question from Sumathy : will LeelA DEvi make that climb happen ? He answers with slOkam 82: Svayam upasamayanthi Swaamina: svairaleelAm svamathamiha duhAnaa svaadhu paTyam prajAnAm niyatham-iyam-idhAneem anayadhA vaa bhavithree niravadhi sukhasiddhyai nishprakampAnukampaa (Meaning ) : Dayaa DEvi neutralizes the propensity of the Lord to do whatever He wishes (yadEccha Leelaa) and comes forward to grant what will be beneficial (hitham ) for the Jeevan and what she is fond of doing for the well being of the Jeevan . She stays firm and grants this limitless bliss for the Jeevan immediately or later ( immediate MOksham for aarTa Prapannan and Moksham at the end of the present life for dhruptha prapaanan ) . When the moment for Dayaa strikes , no one and nothing can stop its effect . SlOkam 83 : avirala-guNacchAyaa mAyatama: prathirOdhini parihrutha-raja: pankaa taapairasamgaDithaa thribhi: Madhuripu-dayaamoorthyr-dhivyaa nirAkruthakaNDakaa vahathy nigamAth varthanyEshaa pureemaparAjihtaam (Meaning ) : Lord Madhusoodhanan's Dayaa is the raaja maargam (royal road). That stretches from here to Parama Padham. On this road, the limitless auspicous attributes of the Lord (Soulabhyam , souseelyam etc) are densely present as comforting shade (aviralacchAyaa) . This Dayaa of the Lord will banish the darkness of Moola Prakruthi . There are no sins here that result from the operation of the RajO or TamO guNams . The three kinds of sufferings ( Taapams) like aadhiboudhikam are NOT seen here . The thorns , which are obstructing enemies in the path to Vaikuntam have been removed now to make the journey by the Muktha jeevan comfortable. This is the nature of Dayaa devi standing in the form of the ladder to Parama Padham . Brahmapuram is our body , the starting point of the Jeevan and the invincible (aparAjitham) Vaikunta Nakaram is the end point . The ladder of the Lord's Dayaa connects both . Now Sumathy asks: Oh VivEka Mahaa Raajaa ! It is so pleasing to hear your words. It is however looks like a descptive utterance made to children ,since it is hard to believe that the Jeevan bent under the back-breaking weight of its karmAs can lift itself out of its ocean of sorrow and arrive at Sri Vaikuntam . It all sounds very sweet to hear (ukthAvath athyantha maadhuryam) ; in practise however , it is impossible to accomplish ( anushtAnE athyantha kaDuthvam ). VivEka Mahaa Raajaa sighs and is incredulous about his wife's statement . He responds : Oh Auspicious wife (BhadrE ) ! You are known for rejecting things that actually exist ! Do not be influenced by false visions ! Have You ever come across an instance , where Vedam touts untruth ? Have You ever heard that he Lord has changed his mind about the vow that he undertook to protect His bhaktha janams ? How can I grow your faith in what I said earlier ? Let me try to convince you about the mahimai of the sanklapam of MurAri : sapE dhaishtikyEna svayamiha bhavathyA cha SumathE thvayaiva dhrashtavya: svapanavigamOnmeelitha dhiyaa ahamkAragrAha-graha-kadhanasAkrandha tanubrun- mumuksha-samraBdhO MuramaTana sankalpa mahimaa Oh Sumathy ! I swear on You , my dear one ! I swear on all acts performed with faith that are unseen (adhrushtam) ! You yourself can witness the glories of Bhagavath Sankalpam ( the will of the Lord). May you awaken from the sleep and open your eyes ! The attachment to the ahankAram linked to dEhAthma abhimAnam is the crocodile that caught hold of the leg of the GajEndhran in that lotus pond . That ahankAram is the one that sinks the unfortunate ones in the ocean of samsAram. It is the soulful cry about being grabbed by that ahankAram and the manifestation of intense desire to gain moksham will lead one to see in action , the Lord's sankalpam to rush to respond . One can experience the paraparappu of the Lord's Sankalpam . Is it fair to close one's eyes and say that the object does not exist ? (Comments): One who argues that there is BhAgyam by pursuing some thing noble and auspicious such as the subha karmaa of Prapathti and believes in the the power of the Sankalpa Sakthi of the Lord is Dhaishtikan . He is a Mumukshu ( one desirous of Moksham) and cries out loud about the pain caused by dEhAthmAbhimAna ahankAram that has caught hold of his leg and is making him sink deepr into the samsAric ocean . He cries out for BhagavAn's protection . The act of such a dhaishtikan is Dhaishtikyam . The opposite of Dhaishtikan is Naishtikan , who does not believe in such things. VivEkan asks his wife to open her eyes and see the truth . He says that BhagavAn's sankalpam to protect the SaraNAgathan at all times and places and at all costs will not fail .
