The Real Protector
Till the last posting we have seen how Swamy PL has shown that none of the
relatives, devatas and wealth can protect a soul from samsara. With the case of
elimination, Swamy PL finally discusses about the actual protector.
Iswaran mAthA pithAkkal vitta avasthaiyilum pinnu nindru adiyEnukku uttrAnAi
valarthu en uyirAgi nindrAn...
Sriman Narayan is the one who always stands in the background to protect every
soul. Infact, he could accomplish this by standing in front, but we as ignorant
souls will immediatley be banking only on ourselves instead of him. He does not
just protect us, but very much gets into our heart and develops all the jnAnam
required by one to perform surrender and hence attain nitya kaimkarya prApthi.
Finally, he also becomes the life of the soul by being the antaryAmin. Once he
has accomplished all these tasks , the soul will reach a stage where it will
not want to leave him. This aspect has very much evident from the life of
Azhwars.
eNGNGanEyO annai meergaaL! ennai munivadhunNeer?, nangaLkOlath thiruk kuRungudi
nambiyai naaNnkandapin, sanginOdum nEmi yOdum thaamaraik kaNgaLodum, senganivaa
yonRi Nnodum selginRa thennNenchamE
Nammazhwar blames his mother and her neighbours for the status that he is in,
after seeing Thirukkurungudi Nambi. His mother was the first to show Nambi to
him. Once he had seen him, he was not ready to leave Nambi. Azhwar could not
resist singing on Nambi. Whenever he closed his eyes (not to see Nambi), Azhwar
would get the image of Nambi. When he opened his eyes, Nambi was standing in
front of him. Such was the state of Azhwar after having seen Nambi. This is the
kind of state that the soul will get to when Perumal enters into it.
Swamy PL does not stop with this..
He continues with...
engirapadiyE than urukeduthu vErruru kondu thAi mukham kAttiyum insollu
solliyum brAthAkkalum barthAkkalum negizhakkandu thAn nErittukkondu kazhuthilE

udhara tharippAle agavAyilE nindru sathaiyai nOkki nirkaiyAle rakshagan AvAn..
Let us get into each of the above aspects of Sriman Narayanan and conclude the
series in the next posting...
aDiyEn,
ramanan
