THE NATURE OF OBSTACLES-VIRODHI SWARUPAM

 

 

 The nature of the Lord - iRai nilai - and the soul- vuyir nilai - were discussed in the earlier postings. In this posting the four padhigam-s dealing with hassles or virOdhi swarupam/nature of the obstacles that may occur in the path of salvation is discussed.

 

The four padhigam-s are a. vEdu  b. sonnAl  c. oru and d. koNda.

 àààà, àààààààà, ààà, àààààà

 

a. vEdu:  "vEdu min muRRavum"-àààà àààà àààààààààà -à-à thiru voi mozhi 1-2  preaches that ego and the egotist feelings should be removed from oneself.

 

b. sonnAl:" sonnAl virOdham idhu" "àààààààà ààààààà ààà" à-àthiru voi mozhi 3-8  teaches that subservience should be dedicated only to HIm and not to those who do not deserve.

 

c. oru: " oru nAyakamAi'âààà àààààààà" à-à thiru voi mozhi 4-1 discusses the temporary nature of materialistic aspects and the Lord's divine feet is the permanent one is emphasised.

 

d. koNda" koNda peNdir, makkaL, vuRRAR"" ààààà àààààààà àààààà àààààààâ à-à thiru voi mozhi 9-1 highlights that relatives and friends are not to be desired and explains that with several instances. Only the Lord is the relative of all kind is underlined.

 

Thus, egoism/egotism (in vEdumin muRRavum-àààà àààà àààààààààà ), subservience to others ( in sonnAl virOdham-àààààààà àààààà), temporary nature of material aspects ( in oru nAyakamAi- oru nAyakamAi'âààà àààààààà) and relatives and friends are not actually to be considered so( in koNda peNdir-ààààà àààààààà àààààà àààààààâ ) are categorically listed out as the obstacles and their nature - virOdhi swarUpam-àààààà ààààààààà

 

Let us further move on to the aspect of means of four tiruvAimozhi
