AchArya Hrdhayam 211 contd.

The nature of the Lord - iRai nilai - and the soul- vuyir nilai - were 
discussed in the earlier postings. In this posting the four padhigam-s dealing 
with hassles or virOdhi swarupam/nature of the obstacles that may occur in the 
path of salvation is discussed.

The four padhigam-s are a. vEdu b. sonnAl c. oru and d. koNda.


a. vEdu: "vEdu min muRRavum" thiru voi mozhi 1-2 preaches that ego and the 
egotist feelings should be removed from oneself.

b. sonnAl:" sonnAl virOdham idhu" thiru voi mozhi 3-8 teaches that subservience 
should be dedicated only to HIm and not to those who do not deserve.

c. oru: " oru nAyakamAi' thiru voi mozhi 4-1 discusses the temporary nature of 
materialistic aspects and the Lord's divine feet is the permanent one is 
emphasised.

d. koNda" koNda peNdir, makkaL, vuRRAR" thiru voi mozhi 9-1 highlights that 
relatives and friends are not to be desired and explains that with several 
instances. Only the Lord is the relative of all kind is underlined.

Thus, egoism/egotism (in vEdumin muRRavum), subservience to others ( in sonnAl 
virOdham), temporary nature of material aspects ( in oru nAyakamAi) and 
relatives and friends are not actually to be considered so( in koNda peNdir) 
are categorically listed out as the obstacles and their nature - virOdhi 
swarUpam.
