Medicine for
Relief from Happiness
The pangs of sufferings or agony
results in distress. The pains and ache entails physical and mental stress. The
immediate action is seeking medical aid. Aided with the daignosis through
series of tests and what not, this is carried out.
Having done all this, the cat is
out of the bag. Physcians prescribe medicines. Surgeons try their hands on
surgery or sometimes it is left to physiotherapist to treat the
ailment.
When there is blank wall, the oft
repeated words are 'We have tried our best, Rest is With The
Lord'
Be it allopathy or alternative
medicines in various regions spread in the world, the aim is to kill pain.
Anaesthesia kills the feelings for the time being but the root cause of the pain
is looked for and nipped off.
It is but natural to seek relief
from such shooting pains and seek a permanent relief from such
travails.
What about happiness, one may
wonder. What is this weird title 'Medicine for Relief from
happiness' one may question.
When everybody is
looking for happiness, everlasting joy, why should one seek relief from
happiness? Sounds strange! isnt it?
It is Sri Nam AzvAr who has uttered
this and the medicine is none other than the Almighty.
We claim for eternal bliss,Endless
joy ( andhamil pErinbam -àààààààà ààààààààà) and Lo!
AzvAr clamours for a medicine for happiness.
This seems to be contradictory, a
paradox, illogical and to put it mildly, perhaps a bit
absurd.
The superficial reading of the
following pAsuram from TiruvAmozhi lines would appear so
'marundhEa nangaL
bOga magizhhkku enRu
perum thEvar
kuzhAnkaL pithATRum pirAn...' TiruvAimozhi -9-3-4
âààààààà àààààà ààà
ààààààààààààà ààààà àààààà ààààà ààààààààà..â
àààààààààààà
à-à-à.
However, a close study of the
commenatary will unravel this mystery.
VisathvAk sigAmani SvAmi mAmunikaL has given wonderful vyAkyAnam for
this. MamunikaL for TiruvAimozhi?!
Let us go into that
