The ninth Ten.
THE TRYST WITH THE LORD ALMIGHTY
after
THE TEN STAGES
It was seen that Love is a waiting game. Can it go on
endlessly? what is the final scene are the questions which may raise? What is
this waiting? What are its nature and the evolution and what happens in the
final stages are explaine herein.
"inipathil onRu dhasama
dhasaiyilEA pEAr enRu nAt kadalAga thambik kittAdhAgAmal, nALai vadhuvai
pOlEa nALidap peRRavar.."
The Ten stages of
Love:
1. First -sight and the resultant love and
desire;
2. Second - thinking of that
;
3. Third- the same
thinking;
4. Fourth- Sleeplessness;
5.Fifth- physical dilution;
6. Sixth- indifference towards other
things;
7. Seventh- shylessness;
8. Eighth- behaving like one afflicted by
madness;
9. Ninth- fainting
and
10. Tenth- death
are the ten stages of love.
Similar to this, AzhwAr is reaching the final stage in
the pathAm pathu - the tenth ten. Hence, there is no delay but the time is
ripening for the meet. The final stage has come near, unlike in
bharadhAzhwAn's case where it was fourteen long years away. This is
akin to the Lord fixing date for sri ANdAL's union -tomorrow is the d-day- "nALai
vadhuvai" -- and the Lord Almighty assures AzhwAr,"your great devotion
will be fulfilled on your release from this body". The Tryst with the Lord was
thus fixed by the Lord Himself. After all the Lord is also waiting
eagerly hence, like the final stage mentioned hereinabove, the
physical release is the triggerfing point of AzhwAr's union with the Lord
and that is
The tryst with the Lord Almighty which is explicitly
and categorically expressed in thirukkaNNapuram thiru voi mohzi
