=====Sri U.Ve ESB Swami's write up starts here=========
Pasuram 5: maayanai

 Among the assembled gopis,one expressed a doubt,"we
are planning elaborately for getting the company of
Krishna. But remember, we are sinners and our sins
will throw obstacles in our path. It always happens
when a good deed is contemplated. It is the way of the
world. Take the case of Dasaratha who planned the 
coronation of Rama; the great omniscient sage Vasishta
fixed the date; the citizens clamored for him and
applauded the decision. But what happened ? Rama went
to the forest forsaking the city,and it was His
Paduka (holy sandals) which sat on the throne for
fourteen years. So what is the surety that we will
succeed?"
         
The answer is given in this verse: Recite the name
of Krishna; think of him; offer flowers; and all
obstacles will vanish. All sins committed before
taking Refuge with Him, as well those unwittingly
accruing after Surrender (Saranagati) will perish.
The Purva Agha (earlier sins) will be burnt to ashes
like cotton bales in a fire;and the Uttara Agha
(Subsequent Sins) will not stick to the person like drops
of water to a lotus leaf.
 
Milk is both a pleasurable food as well as a medicine
to cure bile. The same is the case with Him. (Maruttuvanai
ninra mamanivanna)
