sUthram 227-4.
The ninth Ten.
Single Minded
Devotgion of AzhwAr- kavaiyil manam inRi.
"yEgameNNik,kANak karudhi, ezha
nanni ninaidhoRum vurugiyalaRRi, kavaiyil manam inRi..."
The state of AzhwAr's mind is described
here.
The one and only mindset of AzhwAr is to
reach the Lord's abode and he is thinking of this in all times -without
discerning day or night.
Further, what does AzhwAr want? he wants the
vision of 'The Lord with periya
pirAtti'
AzhwAr is reminded of the Almighty when he sees
anything which provokes him to finish off himself.
What does one need to experience the Lord and His
qualities? The mind is indispensable. However,
the mind of the AzhwAr melts. When does it melt?
Does it melt when He sees the Lord Almighty or does it melt when he talks about
Him? It melts when he just thinks about the Lord Almighty - When he thinks about
His auspicious quailities of mixing up with one and all liberally.
The aforementioned state of affairs depreciates
into a stage where AzhwAr sends emissaries in the form of birds to the Lord
instead of watiing for HIm.
Thus, the mind of the AzhwAr is set steadfast,
unequivocally in an unified manner and without any doubts or double mind to
achieve this end.

abode

the
pAsuram is

Lord. This is the thiruvoi mozhi "vurugu mAl nenjam"

that of the

contemplates the Lord.
AzhwAr sends emissaries in "engAnal agam kazhivAi' thiru voi mozhi
9-7
Who are all sent? Several birds like nArai, kokku
, kurugu, kiLi and so on.
"thamarOdu angu vuRaivArku thakkiLamEa kEALErgaL'

AzhwAr to the ambassadors.
The state of affaris reach a stage where these
messengers are sent instaed of waiting for the Almighty.
This is beacuase AzhwAr has single minded
devotion, a mind without hesitation, A state without two minds which is
described aptly as
'kavaiyil manam inRi'
9-8-3n the 'aRukkum vinaiyAina' thiru voi
mohzi.
