AchArya Hrdhayam sUthram 221
Contd.
The Third Ten
It was seen that the prime quality of the
Lord highlighted in this ten is omni-presence. It was also noted that though He
is spread everywhere, He is not easily pereceptible due to our limited nature of
sensory organs. He is not affected by the defects of the souls or insentients
where He is present.The Lord grants release from cycle of births to those souls
who consider Him as means and end. The initial grant of physical body was wasted
and it distanced one from the Lord Almighty. This led to a situation where the
soul knew only to enter various births but did not understand how to get
release. The yearning grew for AzhwAr towards the Lord which culminated in the
Lord showing Him His abode and granting it to AzhwAr.

Summary: In the previous ten AzhwAr desired
the brightest mOksham. What is it actually? Service unto the Lord. AzhwAr
cherished the beauty of the Lord with His divine ornaments. The service
mentioned above was desired by AzhwAr at all places, at all times and at all
states. The Lord who is the Lord displayed His presence in all states, all
places which AzhwAr apprecaited greatly.
pAsuram-s:
What is mOksha palam?
To expreince the Lord and do kainkaryam to
Him.
The Lord is exprienced by AzhwAr by swallowing His
adornments etc. in the first thiru-voi-mozhi of this ten "mudich chOdhi".-- thiru voi mozhi 3-1.
However, AzhwAr felt that he was not able to do this
completely probably due to the reason that his sensory perceptions etc. were
restricted. The Lord responded that even the nithya sUrigaL were having this
handicap vis-a-vis perceiving the beauty of the Lord.
AzhwAr got consoled to a certain extent which we
understand from the term ---> "nilai pERRu en nenjam
pERRadhu nEduyirEA" thiru voi mozhi 3-2-10;
The purpose of the soul getting consoled and becoming
stabilised is to do kainkaryam and AzhwAr desired to perform this kainkaryam at
all places, at all times and at all times -blemishless kainkaryam.
"vozhivil kAlam ellAm vudanAi manni
vazhuvilA adimai seiyya vENdum nAm" thiru voi mozhi
3-3-1;
The Lord displayed His presence in all the states ---the
pancha bUdhangaL, other things, bright and gem stones, demi-gods and other
deities and all other states and things. AzhwAr became ecstasic and greatly
apprecaited Lord Almighty's nature of being perevaded at all the souls and
things. This is described in the thiru voi mozhi "pugazhu
nal oruvan enkO' thiru voi mozhi 3-4.
