Dear Swami,
'mAyavan adi paravi pozhdu pogakiRkum puNmai' clearly means that one
should not spend time at lord's feet for leisure. At the same time,
tt must definitely be noted that once we are at the feet of lord,
whether we do that intentionally or unintentionally being irrelevant,
bhagavAn krupai falls on us and we start attaining gnyanam of our
Atma-swaroopam. And our swaroopam is bhAgavatha kainkaryam. So, after
falling at his feet, benefitted with athma gnyanam, if one, instead
of performing bhAgavatha kainkaryam, spends his/her time enjoying at
lord's feet, it is definitely futile.
mAmunigal's kovil thiruvaimozhi for koNdapeNdir pathigam says(third
line being the wonder line):
koNdapeNdir thAm mudhalAk kURum utRAr * kanmatthAl
aNdinavarenRE avaRaivittu * - "thoNdarudan
sErkkum" thirumAlaich chErumenRAn * Arkkum idham
pArkkum pugazh mARan paNdu
And, as everyone knows in this forum, devarIr's writings, clarifies
and gives insight of, so many pUrvAchArya granthams, which
undoubtedly purifies many mundane minds as that of mine - clearly a
bhAgavatha kainkaryam! So, how could you consider yourself being
accused of any such thing:)?
apologies for mistakes,
adiyEn,
rAmAnuja dAsan.
