In the previous thiruvAymozhi, AzhvAr brought out the fact that the
Lord is easy to worship, not difficult. Even if the ArAdhana is easy
to do, our minds will go into it only if the refuge is sweet to us.
In our world, we see many people who take immense satisfaction with
whatever little we can offer them; even then, this is a waste unless
the refuge one might get in them is of use and is sweet right?
Similarly, for the Lord, should His refuge not be desirable/sweet?
Yes. His refuge is desirable and sweet, is told by this
thiruvAymozhi. svAmi nampiLLai says "This bhagavath samASrayaNam
(taking refuge in the Lord) is something that is so immensely
enjoyable that even the LOrd, who is not born for this, also desires
this". Seeing His magnificence/superiority, it is as though, the
Lord Himself is wanting to serve under Himself! :)
"Can this be? Is the Lord So superior and perfect?" may be thought
by people. To answer such doubts, this thiruvAymozhi is solely
focussed on showing that the Lord's sweetness has no comparison.
thiruvAymozhi nURRandhAdhi - 7
piRavi aRRu neeL visumbil pErinbam uykkum *
thiRam aLikkum seelath thirumaal * aRaviniyan
paRRum avarkku enRu pagar maaRan paadhamE*
uRRa thuNai enRu uLamE Odu.
Oh Mind! Take the refuge in maaRan's feet by knowing that they are
our best companion because nammAzhvAr taught us that the Lord, who
has the nature to bless all of us with the immense happiness of
parama padam and deliverance from the cylce of birth, is very sweet
for those who take refuge in Him.
Note: "sweet" in this post should be interpreted as "one who
provides immense happiness"
