AZHWAR'S COUNSEL TO HIS MIND

"mundhuRRa nenjukku paNi maRavAdhu maruLozhi, nagu, kaividEal, enRu kruthya, 
krithyangaLai, vidhithu nenju pOlvAraith thoNdEr enRu azhaithu.."


AzhwAr's mind raced towards the Lord even before he did. Hence, AzhwAr first 
prescribes the do-s and dont-s to his mind and then extends the same to fellow 
souls. That is why he mentions his mind as "mundhuRRa nenjEa " in peirya thiru 
vandhAdhi 1.

Right in the first thiru-voi-moizhi AzhwAr counsels "thozhudhu, ezhu en 
mananEa" 1-1-1; 

What are the things that are mentioned for the mind:

1. Worhsip Him daily.
"paNi nenjEa nALum, parama param paranai" thiru-voi-mozhi 10-4-7;

2. Good! Do not forget HIm.
"vAzhi nenjEA! maRavAdhu vAzh kaNdAi" thiru voi mozhi 10-4-8;

3. Forsake the anxiety.
"maruL vozhi ne mada nenjEa!" thiru voi mozhi 10-6-1;

4. Laugh at this world of samsArA.
"naragathai nagu nenjEa!" thiru voi mozhi 10-6-5;

5. Never forget this dhivya-dhEsam. All this divine wealth was blessed in this 
dhivya-dhEsam-s . Hence, though we are proceeding the final place -thiru-nAdu- 
never forget this divine dhivya-dhEsam.
"vAzhi manamEa kaividEal" 10-7-9; thiru mAl irunjOlai.


And

calls upon the srEvaishNavic devotees who are intimate like his mind and 
counsels thems

"thoNdEr vammin" thiru voi mozhi10-1-5;
