THE NATURE OF MEANS-UPAYA SWARUPAM

 

 In the previous posts, we dealt with iRai nilai, vuyir nilai and thadai. That is, the nature of the Lord, the nature of the soul and the hassles in attaining Him.

 

The means of attaining Him are spelt out by AzhwAr in "nORRA nAlum" ààààà àààààà

 

1.nORRa nOnbu ilEan:  the thiru voi mozhi "nORRa nOnbilEan"-ààààà àààààààààà à-à detailing on the means of attaining Him culminating in the pAsuram "ARenakku nin pAdhamE charaN Agath thandhozhindhAi"-"àààààààà àààà ààààà ààààààà àààààààààààààà" 5-7-10; spelling out that the divine feet of the Lord is the way to attain HIm without any quid-pro-quo -The Causeless Mercy

 

and the three thiru voi mozhi-s following this:

 

2. ARA amudhEA: 5-8 ;mentioning "kaLaivAi thunbam kaLaiyAdhozhivAi"  and 'kazhalgaL avaiyE charaNAgath thandhozhindha" 5-8-11- ààààààà ààààààà ààààààààààààà spelling out the the Lord has given His feet as the resort to AzhwAr.

 

3. mAnEi nOkku nallEr: 5-9; mentioning nam-perumAn adimEal shEmam koL then kurughUrch -ààà àààààààà ààà àààà ààààààà-satakOpan, reflecting AzhwAr taking refuge in the Lord's divine feet.-àààààà àààààà ààààààà

 

4. piRandhavARum: 5-10; declaring nAganai misai nampirAn charanE charaN namakku" 5-10-11 proclaiming that the Lord's divine feet as the ultimage refuge and means - àààààà àààà àààààààààà ààààà àààà àààààààààà à-à0-àà.

 

thus in the aformentioned four successive thiru voi mozhi-s AzhwAr lists out the only means - the Lord - His feet - HIs causeless Mercy.

 

NOw we will move on to the upEya svAruPam or the nature of the end
