Dear Sri Venkatesh svAmi,
 
Dwelling on the first sUthram of dvhyap prakaraNam of MumUkshuppadi
'irukkum nAL varai vugandharuLina nilangaLil pravaNaNAi pozhudu pOKkaiyum'
 
Seen in isolation this may indeed look like one spends time in divya-dhesam-s. However, should be seen with two other words
pEARu thappAdhu enRirukkai-PEARRukkuth thvarikkai
 
One has to realise that He is the granter or salvation and having realised so , should have complete faith in Him, that He will elevate us -visumbEARA vaikkum endhai -Periaya Thirumozhi 2-1; and also it is well known that the release takes place to ThirunaDu at the time of the end of this life and He grants it
'maraNam AnAl vaikuntham kodukkum pirAn' thiruvAimozhi 9-10;
 
Can one be then docile till then. The yearning and expectation to reach Him grows;This is the pEARRukkuth thvarikkai.
 
Now in this backdrop, Sri pILLai lOkAchAr sums up the whole issue. irukkum nAL varai
what does one do while awaiting the final release -gUNAnubhavangaL, kainkarayangaL and so on.
The aim here is not to pass on the time. The soul has surrendered at His divine feet and having done so awaits His final dictum and the mind cannot go into other materialstic aspects.
Who can but look towards any other thing but towards the kalyANa guNangaL of EmperumAn
'sEr kalandha sol ninaindhu pOkkArEal en ninaindhu pOkkuvar ippOdhu' Periya thiruvandhAdhi
 
IN the same vain, Sri Thirumazhisaip pirAn also mentions 'Therithezhudi vAsithum kEATTum, pUsithum pOkkinEan pOdhu'
and also
'thozhil enakku thollaimAl than nAmam yEAtha''
 
 
The basic difference thus is
this is a way of life for us. Not a pass time. The aim here is not to pass time.
It is a living style in tandem witht he nature of the Atman. The above pAsuram-s talk about the souls who have complete conviction that He is the measn and the end and will bequeath us with exalted status at the opportune moment.
 
the pAsuram 'pOzhdhu pOgagiRkun pUNmai' does not talk of these souls but those who spend time for that sake
 
dasan
vanamamalai padmanabhan
