 kUdArai vellum sEr

'KUdArai vellum sEr' is an excellent term to indicate the efficacy of 
emperumAn's guNangaL. The attributes of the Lord is such that, it even makes 
those who do not want to see Him, make a beeline towards Him. 

For those who are against Him, His valour comes into play-saurya-vEryAdhigaL. 
With the valour the enemies are won over.

There are three categories of souls who are won over by the Lord -by His 
gunangaL. 

The categories are:

a.Those who do want to join Him but do not approach Him as swarUpam does not 
allow it. 
b. Those who do not approach Him but do not do so as women are not supposed to 
take efforts to join HIm. and 
c. Those who are 'dhehAthmabhimAnigaL' are attracted by these gunangaL towards 
Him. 

The first two categories of devotees are srEvaishnavites but are passive 
awaiting His efforts rather than their steps to attain HIm. Even these souls 
are greatly attracted towards Him as these guNam-s do that trick.

The third category of souls are those who are

i. very much attached to their body and the desire the happiness from 
that-dhEha abhimAnigaL and
ii. very much attached to their souls and think that the souls are themselves 
in contrast to soul being subservient to the Lord. 

These people do not want to be with the Lord. They are attracted towards other 
things and other deities in such a way that they do not believe in steadfast 
devotion to the Lord-like pathirvrithA. Even these souls are attracted towards 
HIm by His guNangaL.

The ARAyirappadi vyAkyAnam is great in this regard.
"vellum sEr= swarUpAnusanthAnam paNNi 'vArOm' enRiruppavar pradhigzhazhai 
varappaNNikoLLavaRRAi-
strEthvAbhimAnathAlE 'vAsal vittup puRappadOm' enRiruppArudaiya abhimAnathai 
muRithu varappaNNina guNam
dhEhAthmabhimAnigaLai thalai saipikkach solla vENumA?"

"Agnarai sarvagnar Akkum. sarvagnarai 'ethiRam' eNNap paNNum". Those who do not 
have knowledge become possessed with abundunt knowledge. Those who have 
complete knowledge become completely submerged and drown in His attributes. 

Such is the nature of the 'guNam' of emperumAn.
