                                    PRAMEYA SEKARAM

 

**On Surrendering to an acharya one realizes the wanted and the unwanted;

 

All along the jeevatma has been desiring to possess a lot of wealth and live 
happily in this world but now the acharya shows him a different treasure and 
now all his confusion is totally removed and he perfectly knows what is to be 
desired and that which has to be left.

 

**Further a vairakya towards prApyAntaram (the worldly affairs) and a deep 
involvement towards the paramaprApyam (bhagavan) is created;

 

There are number of gurus in the world today.  Who is a perfect acharya? One 
who releases us from the clutches of samsara and one who shows us the divine 
feet of emperuman the paramaprApyam is a sadAcharyan.  So on reaching a 
sadacharya and getting his advises one gradually starts to get a affinity 
towards bhagavan and a disregard for all the lowkika pleasures.

 

**The next step is the effort of the jeevatma to get away from the lowkika 
affairs and reach the divine goal by holding on to the siddhOpAyam

 

To attain the ultimate goal there are two ways, 1) siddhOpAyam (holding on to 
the readily available emperuman's feet and reaching the divine 
abode-saranagathi unto the divine feet of the lord) 2) sAdhyOpAyam (reaching 
the divine abode by doing various sAdhanas (karma yoga, bhakthi yoga, jnana 
yoga etc) which requires a lot of effort)

If a thirsty person drinks water from a pond and quenches his thirst it is 
siddhOpAyam whereas if he has to quench his thirst by digging a well then it is 
like holding on to a sAdhyOpAyam.

 

**On holding on to the siddhOpAyam one wants to immediately reach the divine 
feet of the lord

 

Now the jeevatma slowly realizes the hardships in samsara and sweet anubhavams 
under the divine feet of emperuman and hence wants to reach the divine abode 
immediately.
