SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest all, Bhattar establishes ubhaya vedantha based on this verse and the 2nd. AzhwAr mentions deep, vast saasthrArtthams in the verse and immerses himself in ArchaavathAra anubhavam. The TNT is an elaboration of the last two verses of TKT says Sri Uttamoor swami in his commentary. minnuruvaay munnuruvil vEdham naan_gaay viLakkoLiyaay muLaitthezundha thingaL thaanaay, pinnuruvaay munnuruvil piNimoop pillaap piRappiliyaay iRappadhaRkE eNNaathu, eNNum ponnuruvaay maNiyuruvil bootham ainthaayp punaluruvaay analuruvil thigazuNY sOthi, thannuruvaay ennuruvil ninRa endhai thaLirpuraiyum thiruvadiyen thalaimElavvE. 1 mun uruvil ? in the object that is in the front (achit); min uruvaay ? like the lightning, the non- permanent states of achethanas ? He is the nivaahakan (director and controller) of these achethanas; vedam naangaay ? Veda Vedyan- Lord of all four Vedas; viLakkoLiyaay ? the essence of those Vedas- the very upadesa jnAnam itself muLaitthu- sprouts from sravaNam (listening); and gets into mind and thoughts, contemplations yezhundhu- thus arises jnAnam and culminates into dhyAnam thingaL thaanaay ? which results in samaaadhi ? the blissful state of jnAnam - He is the nirvAhakan for this jnAnam pinuruvaay- above the achethanas (non-sentient), the chethana taatvas (sentient) that gets known later (after knowing achethanas) mun urvil ? the earlier uttered achethanas? piNi mooppillaa- diseases, old age are not there; (in chit ? or jeevathmas) piRappu ili aay- birthless chethana (Jeevathmas)? nivraahakan (Director and Controller, Lord) iRappadhaRkku E- The death ?like kaivalyam eNNaadhu ? not letting the jeevathma like and aspire for it (Kaivalyam); eNNum ? in order to think and enjoy pon uru aay- hitha ramaNeeya, most wonderful, and dievne Paramaathma swaroopam maNi uruvil ? grander than that- is the gem like prescious divya mangaLa roopam (divine body) and in that form bhootham aindhu aay- panchOpanishad, aprAkrutha bhoothas ? five ; punal uruvaay - the sowseelya guNa paripoorNan; anal uru vaay- for ?other? He is like the fire and inaccessible (Parathvam) thigazhum jyOthi ? He manifests everywhere like the resplendent lustrous form than uru aay- the jyOthi that lights up everything (swayam prakasam) en uruvil ? in my body (sareeram) as well ninRa enthai ? He resides eternally ? my Father; my Lord thaLir puraiyum thiruvadi- tender divine lotus feet of His en thalaimE ? adorn my head Firstly achethana (non-sentient, or matter) ?s dhoshams (imperfections); hence they can not be Purusharttham (goal to be attained); - Then, jeevathmas (soul?s) Athma saatshaakaaram- and Jeevathma swaroopam (nature of jeevathmas) and that is also imperfect; and Divine Lord?s Supremacy, His Divya Athma swaroopam, and grander and more enjoyable than that is the divine dhivya mangaLa vigraham of His, its luster, and further, He on His own has decided to help and has hence entered into my heart and resides therein; I am His servant eternally and to show his (AzhwAr?s) gratitude, he places and adorns the Lord?s Lotus feet on his head. ? this is the summary in this verse. Thus the achethanas can NOT be the Goal as they are non-permanent; change their states; They keep changing every fraction of a time; the body keeps changing, objects change; Birth, diseases, death growth, tapering off- they undergo changes. They change and survive like the lightning, though they are attractive like the lightning. It is the Lord who has created them all in such nature for us to nejoy as upakaram. In order to understand the one higher than this achethanas- one needs to have saasthra pramANas and can not comprehend from the perception or logic as we understand the achith. Thus the saasthras are laid out by Vedas and Upanishads for which He is the Veda Vedyan. Only through vedic saasthras, can jeevathma nature and relationship be laid out. The Vedic scholars spread their jnAnam like the very light themselves. By listening to such jnAnam (thorugh vedic learning as well as kalakshepams) one gets jnAnam and the jnAnam is spread and thus arises contemplation in their minds. Then comes dhyAnam, that results in samaadhi (jnAnam) Sruti vaakhyam - "AtmAvArE drashtavya: srOtavya: mantavya: nidhidhyAsitavya:" This is the order in which we will have to realise Brahmam. First see Him, next hear about Him, thirdly think about Him, lastly think only about Him without any hindrance. Is this order correct. We hear and think about Him, finally to see Him. If you see Him in the first instance then why should we hear about Him. So the order has to be "AtmAvarE srOtavya: mantavya: nidhidhyAsitavya: drashtavya:" First hear about Him from your guru, think about what you heard, then lastly have darsan. bhogyam, bhOkthA, prErithA ? He is the SEshi. He is Swami(Supreme Lord )to all. He is "SEshi"(Master) and rest are all SEshans (subservient). The Upanishad Vaakyam, "BhOkthA-BhOgyam-prErithAram cha mathvA " has to be remembered here. BhOkhthA is the Jeevan; BhOgyam is the insentient prakruthi and its varieties; PrErithA is the Lord, who acts as the Lord of both Jeevan and prakruthi in His role as Seshi. He (the Lord) has created the three guNams (Satthva-Rajas-Tamas) in insentient objects and have made it possible for the chEthanams to enjoy them as bhOgyam. The "enjoying " jeevan is the BhOkthA , who enjoys the BhOgyam. He stays as the One , who commands this anubhavam of Jeevan as PrErithA. The achEthanmas ( insentient) like fruit et al are for the enjoyment of the chEthanan (sentients). This arrangement or niyathi has been made possible because of Your sankalpam. He considers the creation of the ChEthanams and achEthanams as part of Your sport (leelai). iRapaadhaRkkE eNNaadhu death for jeevathma ? Kaivalyam? (realizing just Jeevthma saakshaathkaaram); When you are given the Kaivalyam with sUkshuma sarIram, you will not have the sthUla sarIram (Body like what we have) to serve and have Bhagavath anubhavam and enjoy the same. After the kaivalya anubhavam is completed (i.e, until dissolution, praLayam, they will be in that enjoyment of jIvAThma sAtshAtkAram and then the sUkshuma sarIram is put into moola prakrithi), then when you get next sthUla sarIram in next kalpam, you may also not have the desire for material wealth and get this sarIram again. Because, you get this kaivalyam because of your virakthi on these sensual pleasures which are transitory. That time, you will join us to have Bhagavath anubhavam to reach higher. Why to waste time so long? First kaivalyam and then exhaust that and come back. There is also another view that during Kaivalyam, theymay not have any sarIram, in which case, the commentary is still easier; Since you will not have sarIram till next kalpam, right now join us. You will also get that jIvAthma anubhavam even when you have the mOkshAnubhavam simultaneously. You will get to know the jnAna, Anandha, SwarUpa guNaN, aNu, dhEhAdhi vilakshaNan [jIvan] in its entirety and its eternal servitude naturally to the Lord. Thus the Lord is kOti Surya prakAsan. DivyAthma swaroopam ? Paramatha swaroopam does not have luster. Only His divya mangala vigraham is Param jyOthi. He is easily accessible to His devotees and Asrithars, jnAnis, sages; while He is complete inaccessible and is like fire for others (though he resides in all human beings) Though He is in everyone, He stands in me (en uruvil ninRa). adiyEn places His divine tender lotus feet on my head. Though He is the antharyaami rupam in everyone; others don?t get that anubhavam of His being therein. For me- He has blessed me with that anubhavam always.
