SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,
 
You had mentioned that you did not perform Karma,
jnana, yogas and na dharmanishtOsmi etc? Just because
you did not perform them, does not make you
automatically qualified to perform Saranagathi. If
that?s the case, all bhakt yogins can also stop doing
bhakti yoga and say, ? I am now qualified for
Saranagathi..and perform Prapatti. You say.. aparaadha
sahasra bhaajanam? thousands and thousands of paapams?


Tell me Alavandhaar.. In this samsaaram, is there
anyone who does not do aparaadha sahasra bhaajanam?
everyone does.. Hence it is not right to compel me
with those reasons. Alavandhaar responds: It is
absolutely right of course.. in this verse.


avivEka ghanaandha dhinmukhE 
bahudhaa santhatha dhukka varshinee
bhagavan! bhavadhurdhinE patha: 
skhalitham maam avalOkaya achyutha!  [49]

Hey Bhagawan! Oh Lord! The One with the bhagavath
kalyANa guNAs! The One with no imperfections and
having innumerable kalyANa guNAs! Achyutha! The One
who never ever lets anyone down! Please bless by
showering and casting Your most merciful glances on me
(maam) who has fallen ? swerved- strayed away from ?
the path of spiritual life with absolutely no jnAnam
on Para, tattva, hitha purushaartthams-  from the
injunctions of saasthrAs in the most darkest,
gloomiest world of samsaaric life (existence); where
all corners of the sky [where I live] are always
darkened with heavy clouds of non-discrimination
{avivEkam) and showers of rains of sorrows drench me
always for ever and ever uninterruptedly in different
ways and in all sorts. 

You ? with no room for any imoerfections- with no
defects or bad qualities- the Supreme Lordship- with
jnAna, bala, aishwarya, veerya, shakthi thEjas- six
opulent kalyANa guNAs- and hence named Bhagawaan.. You
are the Lord with infinite most auspicious attributes
like Sauseelya, Vaathsalya, Maardhava, Arjava,
Sowhaarda, kaaruNya, maadhurya, Gambheerya, audhaarya,
chathurya, sthairya, dhairya, sowrya, paraakrma,
sathyakaama, sathyasankalpa, kruthithva,
kruthagnathai? etc? With such Supreme Lordship
qualities, You dispel the sorrows of Your devotees and
remove their suffering and also support /Save them. 

 That- I am seeking from You is this: My state is
lowliest and pitiable. This wordly life for me is the
darkest day.. There is absolutely no chance of any
sunshine for me.. in this worldly life of mine? (if
you consider as my whole life as one day). Not a
single second sun shines with His splendour on me? The
clouds engulf the whole day with pitch darkness and
torrential downpour of greatest suffering befall on
me? the clouds are none other than the avivEkam-
non-discrimination. What is vivEkam? That the body is
not AthmA; the athmA is NOT swathanthran; the idhara
devatha is not You? You are the Paradevatha; What one
should seek is mOksham? DhEhaathma vivEkam; Athma
paramaathma vivEkam, mOkshaamOksha vivkEkam etc.. 

 Thus with such avivEkam, I perform what should not be
done in accrdoance with saasthrAs; and not do what
saasthrAs prescribe us to do. akruthyAnamcha karaNam;
kruthyAnAm varjanamcha mE.. kshamasva nikhilam dEvA!
PraNathaartthihara prabhO! 

Thus with all those avivEkam (clouds) engulf me from
all eight directions, and rain uninterruptedly (due to
my own avivEkam) on me with suffering. AdhyAthmikam,
Adhiboudhikam, Adhidaivikam? 

With such heavy rains, great floods, I do not know
where is higher point, which is the hole and hence
keep on slippoing down and further down and am not
able to even stay afloat. I have lost all the sense of
directions as well as the lost track of where to go
and how to. As it is also dark and no sunshine there
is not even a milestone for me to know the whereabout
of myself. You have even lost sight of myself for ages
and I [have been blessed] to see the glimpse of
Yourself now.. But having blessed me so much, now that
You have seen me due to Your dayA, and since You are
also Achyuthan (one never les down), You would not
leave me- I am sure. You can not let me find out the
paths of karma, jnana, bhakti yoga? as I have lost all
tracks. I am very far from any of these paths deeply
immersed in floods. I- who am not able to even walk ?
leave alone stay afloat- You should not leave me and
go away. You should embrace me and take me with You?
else I will perish. Please cast Your glance on me- as
per and in line with Kshathabandhau vaakya
(statement).  Thus I have no power at all for bhakti
yoga. 

Alavdnahaar ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam
