Dear SrEvaishNavites,
First and foremost I thank sri sadagopan
iyengar for triggering a train of thought in mind which enabled me to recall and
refer vyAkyAnam-s of pUrvAchAryAs. Thanks for the food for the
thought.
In srE vachaNa bhUshaNam 43 st sUthram
states" agnAnathAlE prabhannar asmathAthigaL, gnAnAthikathAlE
prabhannar pUrvAcharyargaL;bhakthip pAravyasathAlE prabhannar
AzhwArgaL" Although this sUthram is being spelt out in a different
context, the following lines are relevant in this regard.
prabhannar-s are categorised into three. One with
lack of knowledge. We fall into this slot.
One with pre-dominant knowledge. Our
preceptors-pUrvAchAryargaL are in this category and
Prabhannar-s with extreme devotion -bhakthi-p
pAravyasyam-AzhwArgaL are no doubt in this class.
When even prabhannar can fall into a category of
"ignorant" group we who cannot even be termed as prabhannar are certainly below
that.
We need thus Lord's blessing for seeing the Lord.
