AchArya Hrdhayam
pathAm pathu
 
sUthram 228-20
 
                            BIGGER THAN THE BIGGEST
 
"mudahl aLavu thurakkaiyAlEa peRA ANai Akkina"
 Till the ninth pAsuram of the final thiru-voi-mozhi, AzhwAr swore by the Lord and periya pirAtti and put forth his points which was irrefutable.
 
The base for all this arguments was AzhwAr's immense love, affection, pining, longing, desire and so on and so forth. This became insignificant in front of Lord's desire, pining longing. love and affection towards AzhwAr. The Lord's love and affection made AzhwAr's love and affection look like nothing. How?
 
Our philosophy is full of paradox. Can anything be bigger than the biggest? This is again a case of paradox.
 
All the worlds is a hybrid mixture of all inanimate objects-achith. All the things are encompassed in these. Hence, relatively, the achith comprising all the worlds is very big- the endless big mass- mudivil-perum-pAzh. 10-10-11;
 
The soul which can pervade, permeate and pierce all through this in subtle and other forms, more knowledgede, capable of enjoying and superior is defifnitely bigger than this. the chith- para-nan-malar-chOdhi.10-10-11;
 
The Lord who is the ultimate-who is the one and all- who is the cause of all - who is governor of both the above is in fact the biggest.-chudar-gnAna-inbam.10-10-11; Eswaran.
 
What is bigger than this ? As per AzhwAr his desire on the Lord, his affection and love towards the Lord is bigger than the above three.sUzhndhadhanil periya en avA. 10-10-11;
 
Then if AzhwAr's desire is bigger than all the three -chith, achith and Eswaran-thathvathrayam- then AzhwAr's desire/love and affection is the biggest, being bigger than the aforementioned three.
 
However, AzhwAr finally adds that the desire of the Lord, the Love and affection of the Almighty towards nam-AzhwAr ultimately encompasses his desire, belittling his desire, which is considred as the biggest -being bigger than the three.
 
Putting in the ascending order, the achith, chith, Eswaran, AzhwAr's love and affection and
The Lord's love and affection towards AzhwAr. 
 
That is nothing but:
                                                        BIGGER THAN THE BIGGEST
