The fundamental policy of srEvaishNavic
faith is chreishing the Lord alongwith fellow souls.
'Vedham
vallArgaLaik koNDu viNNoAr perumAn ThriuppAdham paNindhu' declares svAmi
Nam AzvAr.
Those who have unfailing conviction that
He is indeed the means and the end are those who are well versed in vEdham-s
(vEdham vallArgaL) -EDu.
Having said this, there are more reasons
attributed for seeking like minded company, when entering into realm of
EmperumAn's world. His auspciious qualities is
akin to the full of deep watered oceans
and likely to submerge us into it and alAs! denying the opprotunity to
relish His such wonderful kalyANA guNas. In
fact, Sri ParAnkusA requests the Lord Himself, a mind of steel and steely
resolve to overcome being melted on thinking of Sri KrshNA's sweet
attributes.(piRandhulagam vun siRandha guNAthAl vurugum
sElath thiRam thavirndhu)
He appeals to sacred poets to save
him so from sinking into the sea of EmperumAn's qualities (senjoR kavigAL vuyir kAth At
seimin..)
Sri ANDAL being naturally inclined towards
EmperumAn ( being a feminine Herself) and also a descendant of this divine
lineage of Azvar clan (anjukkudikkoRu
sandhadhi) did follow this dictum meticulously but naturally.
This was inborne and not imbibed. This GopikA convert from SrivilliputhUr
yearned for Sri KrshNA is well known.Her thirty divine songs followed by the
outpourings of nAchiyAr thirumozhi are indeed emotional sketches of real
life manifested into eternal bliss of tamil prabhandham.
The sixth pAsuram to the fifteenth sees
Sri ANDAL knocking at the doors of SrevaishNavites and reminding them of their
tryst with the Lord at Sri NandaGopA's divine palace. These disciples are
symbolic of various types of followers of our great fatih.
Knocking at doors, one expects response at
the early hours of the dawn. Going farther, indicating the
outbreak of dawn and support this with various evidences point to the patience at
its height is in itself a test of endurance. That non-response as response,
silence as reciprocation and
passiveness as reply from one of the inmates prods ANDAL not to drop this
disciple but plead for her attention. She ( the inmate ) who is enjoying Lord
KrhsnA does not reply to their calls. No Sir, unlike me ,ANDAL does not go to
the next door. She requests for Her voice at least.Cravign for her attention,
kOdhai nAchiyAr requests:
y MAdam! Your priorities are different.
You are in sacred engagment. Agreed. Need not open the doors for us. At least
give your voice for us. You may give yourself to Sri KrshNA but is it unfair to
bless us with Your voice?

Such is the endurance and the extent to
which a srEvaishNavite goes to get the divine company of another such like
minded AtmA
That is why it is again and again
