THE SECRET BEHIND THE SMILE
PHILSOPHICAL
SMILE
Emphaising the importance of following one's
AchAryan, sri piLLai lOkAchAryAr in his srE vachana bhUshaNam suggests that we
should take refuge in the AzhwAr who followed this aspect meticulously. Other
Azhwars in fact, toed the Lord who is swathanthran. Hence, whenevert He gave His
divine vision/ encouraged, they talked in glee. Whenever, He vanished or
played hide and seek, they talked in misery.
sri madhurakavigaL who took refuge in
"nam-AzhwAr" as AchAryan and talked HIm as His Lord, never had this problem. He
explicitly told 'dhEvu maRRaRiyEan avan pon adi meimayEa" in his kaNNi nun
siruthAmbu.
Thus, the AzhwAr's prabhandham which transforms
as per the fluctuating moods of AzhwAr's due to separation from the Lord or
happy when they are with the Lord should not be taken as a
premise.
sri madhurakavigaL whose steadfast devotion
towards AchAryan and singleminded pAsuram-s should in fact be taken as the
premise for this purpose.
That is what is mentioned by piLLai lOkAchAryar
when he says "we should take madhurakavigaL's prabhandham as the guding beacon.
He is the one who laughs at them, as his means secured him unfluctutating
fortunes"
sUthram 408:" vuNda pOdhu
oru vArthaiyum, vuNNAdha pOdhu oru vArthaiyum solluvar pathu pEar vuNdiREa;
avargaL pAsuram koNdanRu ivvartham aRudhiyiduvadhu.
409:" avargaLai pArhtuch
sirithiruppAr oruvar vuNdiRea; avar
pAsuram koNdu ivvartham aRudhiyidak kadavOam"
Here, to emphasise the importance of taking
refuge in AchAryan in preference to the Lord, the words "avaraip pArthu sirippAr
oruvar vuNdiRea" is menitioned. This is philosophical than
literal.
That is the secret behind the philoshopical
smile.
