Dearest Srivaishnavas,

  LuLLiyuLLam thooyaraay,

Concentrating the mind on the red lotus eyed Lord
Sriman Narayanan; detaching from the external objects,
pleasures; for very many births, performing the karma
yOga selflessly without the desire on fruit; 
listening, thinking, reading or studying His every one
of kalyANa guNAs; and contemplating and enjoying them
in the minds; [if we
do that], the nithya karmAs- when performed help in
purifying the mind
slowly and steadily; and every day with more focus and
concentrated mind, performing meditation or dhyAnam;
thus becoming the persons of worshippable nature even
by Devas and other demi gods; [unlike them - who are
devoted to the Lord for lower fruits and materialistic
fruits]; all these are performed uninterruptedly with
a only focus and objective of pleasure for our Master
Sriman Narayanan; and it is due to His parama krupai
[unlimited and unbounded grace] and blessing us who
are not capable of doing the above otherwise at all.
Such Greatest red lotus eyed Lord [who blesses us]-
who can see Him [in any other way? 

 None.. 

Oh people! For other fruits, you all think you can
pray to other demi gods and when seeing them, you can
ask for boons and can thereafter thus see thereby
enjoy the Supreme Lord Sriman Narayanan. Seeing Him-
oh fools- it is not that simple... Firmly, one has to
be selfless, [without attaching yourself to the fruit]
- nishkAma karma yOga needs to be performed; which
will culminate slowly into jnAna yoga [of visualizing
your jeevathma and have jeevathma saathshaatkaaram] ?
which will qualify you little by little to do dhyAnam
on His Lotus feet to perform bhakti yoga - which
should be done uninterruptedly and then only one can
attempt to or even hope to see Him.. 

For getting to know these, one has to first approach
the sadAchAryan (who is in the lineage of Sriman
Narayanan [peethakavaadai piraanaar biramaguruvaagi
vandhu]- The PeethAmbahara dhAri came as the First
AchArya and taught Sri Mahalskahmi - and then she
passed on to Sri Vishvaksenar.. and NammAzhwr- thus
comes Acharya paramapara] If one gets saasthra jnAnam
from sadAcharya, continues to perform anushtAnam in
accordance with saasthrAs and perform what is
instructed by acharya; Why should one go to idhara
devathAs? Even if one wants to become Devas, can one
go and ask for same Devas? 

By being devoted to Sriman Narayan, those Devas
themselves will look upon you and have high regards to
you- says AzhwAr. 

He is unparalleled Sriman Narayanan. senkaN maal- red
lotus eyed- full of dayA, compassion on us- and He is
not interested in what You offer; he is interested in
your heart- which is for his pleasure alone; and He is
ever ready for protecting such devotees. Hence, you do
not have to go and ask others for the same. He is
ParamOdhAran- most merciful One- who is every ready to
offer the unlimited kaimkarya
prApathi at Srivaikuntam at His lotus feet and He also
is ready to be in place of bhakti yOgam and is willing
to grant us moksham-
seeing our utter helplessness (Akinchanyam) and our
jnAnam that He alone is the only one whom we can go to
for saving us (ananyagathithvam).

deva devaraay- umbar umbar umbar aay anRi- even if it
is Sivan, or above him- Chathu mukha brahmA; Sanaka
sages; or those who are in Vishnu loka- they are all
in their respective positions due to their poorva
janma phalam- due to their karma (good ones) and they
need to continue to perform upAya anushtAnam (of
either bhakti yoga with such austerity measures -as
listed above-; or the prapatti- Saranagati- with
complete utter helplessness due to lack of
qualifications- Akinchanyam; and having no other
refuge other than Him- Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan-
ananya gatitvam]
