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 kaN.

 

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"- 8-8-2.

 

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.
