BlankGREAT SOULS AND THEIR FEAR PSYCHOSIS FOR THE LORD WHO IS A GREAT 
PHILANTHROPHIST

Cowardice is to be discouraged and bravery encouraged. It is said that cowards 
die a hundred times.

However, some great souls are great due to their fear. How is that? Having 
known that the Lord is the Greatest and nobody can do any harm to Him, they are 
afraid that any ill may occur to the Lord from the demons/rAkshasAs. 

Who are they? Great devotees like sri vidhurar. He was so concerned about the 
welfare of the Lord that he inspected his own bed with the sole aimed at the 
welfare of Lord krshNA. piLLai vuRangA-villi dhAsar scouted around Lord 
nam-perumaL with a knife in his hands.

They do know that the Lord is omni-potent. Their overwhelming concern and 
anxiety and affection towards the Lord instill a fear psychosis in them that 
they take extra precautions. Hence, they are great souls-mahA-madhigaL.

When the Lord entered amidst the demons, this fear emerged.

This is explained in the first pAsuram of the sixth thiru-mozhi in the second 
ten.

"naNNAdha vAL avuNar idaip-pukku...."

The Lord who helped even those who did not want Him but desired for the 
'amudham'.
Salt Essence: 
This amudham when comared to Him is only salt essence. That is why our 
pUrvAchAryAs alwyas term this as 'vuppuch sARu' . The Lord is so flexible and 
philanthrophic. He grants the desire to the devotees who do not want Him. 

Persons who do not think of such a great Lord , do not desreve to be thought at 
all-even for an instance.


Thus thirumangai mannan starts this thiru-mozhi with proscription- do not even 
think of those who do not think of the Lord-The Lord whose welfare should be 
uppermost-The Lord who lowers Himself for us-The Lord who helps even for those 
who desire things other than Him-great philanthrophist.
