THE
NATURE OF THE SOUL-VUYIR NILAI It was seen in the preceding posting the four padhigam-s of thiru
voi mozhi explaining the Lord's supremacy -iRai nilai
was seen. The pAsuram-s which go on to explain the nature of the soul- vuyir nilai-
are listed as a.
payil; b;ERu; c; karu ; d a.
payil: This refers to
the thiru voi mozhi 3-7 " payilum sudar oLi
mUrthiyai"-àààààààà ààààà ààà àààààààààà
à-à;wherein the subservience to the devotees of the Lord is emphasised. The
nature of soul is that devotion to the devotees of the
Lord. b. ERu: This refers to the thiru voi
mozhi 4-8 " ERALum iRaiyOnum"- ààààààà ààààààààà à-à wherein, '
Those which are not sutiable for this subservience are to be withered off' is
spelt out. c. kaN:
This refers to the thiru voi mozhi " kaNgaL
sivandhu"-ààààààà ààààààà
à-à-à where out of the characteristics of the soul namely,
knowledge, subservience and enjoyment, the subservience is the basic nature is
explicitly given out. - Refer the lines "adiyEan vuLLAn, vudal vuLLAn"-
c.
karu:
This is "karu mANikka malai mEAl"-ààààààààààà àààà àààà-à thiru voi mozhi
8-9. Here, the soul is subservient only to Him and for none else is
narrated. Thus
in the above four padhigam-s,
--the
nature of the soul being devotion to the devotees-
-- the
withering off of those which are not apt for such
devotion,
-- the
basic nature of soul being subservience rather than knowledge/enjoyment -ààààààà ààààààà
--and
the subservience only Unto Him and none else (ààààààààààààà ààààà ààààà) is categorically
crystallised
Let
us now move on to the TiruvAimozhi pAsuram-s which deal with the aspects of
obstacles, as pointed out by Sri Azhagiya MaNavALap perumAL nAyanAr and
explained by Periya JEyar.
