The matter Not the form,
age or size or location or the previous history
matters.
ParakAla nAyaki's mother feels for her
daughter not only for her involment with KaNNapurathu EmperumAn but also that
she is not yet grown up. 'She is after all a child and see the situation she is
in" was her thoughts.
The questiion now comes up? Does the age
matters. Should one be grown up to be able to concentrate in bhagawadh vishayam?
The mahAbhAratham araNya kANDam talks of
Periya ThriuvaDi observing a bakthai -a devout women in remote hill. He
felt that 'such a great devotee should be in a divine place', little realising
that location for a srEvaishNavite is immaterial but the matter -the devotion is
the crux.(This is also referred to in SrEvachana
bhUshaNam)
The point here is that neither the
location nor the age matters when it comes to bhagawadh vishayam. In fact, one
should be thankful for having got such devotion at such a small age.
Sri Periya VAchAn PiLLai states in the
vyAkyAnam ' bhagavath vishayathil oru
kERRu pugura ninRAn yAvanoruvan, avan pUrva vruthathai pArthuk kuRai
ninaikkak kadavan allan, avan irundha padiyEa
uthEsyam paNNik koNDADa adukkum'
That is for one, who is immersed in
bhagavath vishayam his previous history does not
matter. His present state is enough to be
commended.
This is clear from this
pAsuram
'...kaNapuram kai thozhum piLLayai-piLLai enReNnap peRuvaREA" 8-2-9 of Periya
ThiruMozhi.
One should not think her as your daughter.
She is a bhagavathai and should attract appreciation and not a matter of
concern.
