MODERATION VS
AGGRAVATION
Thirumangai AzhvAr should have jumped in
glee. His outbursts should have exhibited exuberance and happiness. EmeprumAn
blessed him with causeless mercy. Kaliyan however
commences
'vADinEan vADi'
.
Nam AzvAr misses the Lord very much. He
pines for Him. The Lord delays for His arrival. Then He comes. What happens?
Instead of moderating the sitaution, it aggravates. ParAnkusa nAyaki becomes
wild with anger. She refuses to meet His eye and is extremely cross with
EmperumAn.

These are not isolated incidents confined
to these two. KulasEkarazvar is also so furious that he
challenges
'Oh! Lord.Let me wait for your arrival and
exhaust my wrath'
'varudhiyEal en sinam
thErvan nAnEA'
What does this mean?
One expects to attain eternal happiness on
Lord's arrival. They are submerged in distress calling for Him, fainting,
sending emissaries and so on. Spending sleepless time, they are in tears.
The Lord's blessing aggravates rather than
moderates the feelings.
It stokes rather assuaging the passions.
We ordinary souls perhaps, feel happy on
the blessings of the Lord. They who are epitome of bakthi pAravasyam suffer
pangs of separation -bakthi pAravasyathAlEa
AzvArgaL-svb- cannot but display the growing desire transforming into
emotional outbursts in public. 'The tiff between the svarUpam being confident
that He will come (pEARu thappAdhu enRu
thuNindhirukkai) and elevate us and the expectation -thvarai to
reach Him instantaneously(pEARRukkuth thvarikkai)'
goes on and the thvarai overtakes the composure.
This is what happens in
ThirunedunthaNdakam. The ThirunAmam of EmperumAn awakes parkAla nAyaki
'vaLarthadhanAl payan
peRREAn' - but makes her feel more. The thriunamam aggravates the
position whcih is also seen with parAnkusa nAyaki - kaNNan
nAmamEa kuzharik konREr.
What is expected to be the medicine is
becoming the cause for concern -kadal vaNNar idhu seidhAr
kAppAr AREA?
Well, SvAmi Azhagia maNavALap perumAL
nAyanAr excellently analysis this syndrome and explains that
EmperumAn breeds the feeling for Him
-increases the expectations for Him in geometrical proportions -ini ini enRa irupadhinkAl.
Who can question His methods. Instead of
Modeartion He Aggravates. The Moderator Himself
aggravates.
