SETTING VERY HIGH STANDARDS
 
Our AzvAr/AchAryas set very high standards.
 
They practise these high standards and then preach-not vice-versa.
 
They never think of other deities -maRandhum puRam thozhA mAndhar.
 
They never think of other things but God-ninnayEa thAn VEANDi nEL selvam vEAnDAthAr
 
They think of only EmperumAn's happiness -  mATRai nam kAmangaL mATRu.
 
Sri PiLLai LokAchAr and Azhagiya maNavALap perumAL nAyanAr were naishtika brahmachAri-s
 
They, hence preached certain high standards without any hesitation whatsover.
 
Though certain things are permitted in SAsthrAs they proscribe these as not behoving prapannan.
 
SvAmi piLLai lOkAchARya commended this in the sUthram .
 
'prapannanukku vihitha vishya nivruthi than yEAtRam' Sri vachana BhUshaNam 101.
 
Thus though certain acts may be within the framework of the sAsthram, they may not fit in
the stricter purview of a prapannan.
 
The devotion to Emperuman a great appreciable attribute is eclipsed in front of prapannAs who maintain always that devotion to His devotees is the ultimate-the ellai nilam.
 
For instance the companies Act rquires four board meetings to be held annually. A company for the sake of better corporate governanace may prescribe for itself 6 or even 9 meetings in its articles of association. The disclousure norms for a company is prescribed by Sebi, listing agreement, Accounting Standards and Schedule VI. A comapny as a policy may prescribe for itself more stringent disclosure norms -eg. Human resources accounting.
 
The very prescriptiion in normal parlance may become irrelvevant  for a higher class of people thus.
 
This is wonderfully underlined by Sri PeriyAzvAr and Sri MAmunikaL in the vyAkyAnam.
