THE SECRET BEHIND THE
SMILE
THE JOYOUS
SMILE
It is customary to observe smile emanating
after seeing an happy thing. On seeing ones wishes fulfilled or on the verge of
it, the smile takes place. The joy is expressed in the form of a
smile.
However, what happens when a smile comes
out even before the wish is fulfillled. Well, we can presume that the smile is
displayed on an expectation of the joy. This is of course,only a
presumption.
Who can but swAmi nam-piLLai can actually
surmise the real reason behind such smile, preceding the actual joyous
act.
When is this? nappinnai
pirAtti was looking on with expectation while Lord krshNA came up to conquer the
seven bulls.AzhwAr says " Lord krshNA conqured these seven
bulls for the sake of smiling nappinnai pirAtti" Logically, the smile
should be after and not before the onerous task of conquering the bulls.
What is the secret behind this joyous
smile, even before Lord krshNA has embarked on His brave
act.
Edu is very clear on this aspect: "nambi mUtha pirAn muRpada vandhu kittina vidathil ivan thalaiyil
veRRi kidandhAl seivadhen? enRu veRuppAlEa avAnmukiyAi irundhAL. krshNan vandhu
thORRinavArEa, prethi prakarhsathAlEa smitham
paNNinAL. appOdhaiya pazhuppu irunddhapadi'
nappinnai pirAtti was with remorse
thoughts. What would happen if sri bala-rAmar comes and conquers these seven
bulls? were here thoughts which pushed her into her shell and her countence wore
a desrted look. On seeing Lord krshNa appearing for this purpose, her face lit
with radiance and she smiled and the smile resulted in a tanninsh brown
colour-pazhuppu
