                      WHY THE INORDINATE DELAY?
 
    "vuRAmiyOdEa vuRREAn AkkAdhoyindhadhu, nAdu thirundha, nacchup poiga Agamaikku, prabhandham thalaikatta, vEAr chUduvar maNpaRRu pOleA ennum avaRRilum, "ini, ini" enRu irupadhinkAl kUppidum, Arthi adhigAra pUrthikku, ennumadhu mukyam"
 
 
AzhwAr commenced with thiu-virutham "poi ninRa gnAnam...ini yAm vuRAmai.." expressing his distaste in this world and desire to attain Him. The Lord who is supreme could have removed the hurdles and have granted AzhwAr the salvation then and there instantaneosly. Why was this not done?
 
 
The prominent reasons for the delay are:
 
a. nAdu thirutha:  To rectify the other souls in this world. The Lord had Himself taken incarnations. He had followed several methods. Still the souls did not completely educated. To rectify and rescue them, AzhwAr was left in this world.
"vUrum, nAdum vulagamum, thannaip pOle, avandaiya pEArum ,thArgaLumEa pidhaRRa" thiru-voi-mozhi 6-7-2;
 
b. nacchup poigai AgAmaikku: If AzhwAr is granted salvation immediately on surrender, it will set a bad precedence in the sense that, it will propogate wrong signals that if sombody surrenders unto Him, they have to vanish from this world forthwith. This is akin to a person entering a poisonous pond. To avoid this, a dealy is warranted.
 
c. prabhandham thali-katta: To get the prabhandham, the great thiru-voi-mozhi, the magnum-opus, the bhagavadh vishayam, rendered by swAmi nam-AzhwAr. To reap the fruits of this prabhandham by not only the world, us but by the Great Almighty Himself.
 
d. The attachment of the Lord towards the physicique of AzhwAr: The Lord Almighty's immense affection towards AzhwAr permeated as affection even towards AzhwAr-s physcial embodiment. Hence, a further detention in this world was necessitated out of the affection towards AzhwAr's physical thiru-mEani..
 
e.'ini,ini':The primary reason however being to breed and harbour the tendency or attitude of "eagerness" or "longingness" to reach Him. AzhwAr has explicitly expressed this in twenty thiru-voi-mozhi-s " ini " irupadhu.
