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
