AchArya Hrdhayam -sUthram 223
The Fifth Ten
The Love for the Lord
"pEAr amar pin ninRu kazhiya migu yAneAyenna vAithu ARRAgillAdhu nErAi meliya 
vUdu pukku vaLara..."

Summary: It was seen in the preceding posting that the Lord is the reason for 
increasing the increasing yearning for Him, the reason for the Love and 
Affection towards Him. The creation of such Love, the emancipation of such 
love, the evolution of such love, the impact of the Love on AzhwAr is further 
explained. 

The great love-pEaramar kAdhal- emerges from the Lord's everlasting beautiful 
form. This Love settles down in the mind of AzhwAr and creates restlessness. 
Does it stop with that? The friends around AzhwAr comments on this love. The 
love manifests itself into thriving oneself by acting like the Lord- I created 
this whole world, I am the ultimate in learning, I am the ultimate in what one 
sees, I am the pancha-bhUdham, the actions, the cause-effects, the heaven, hell 
etc. This reflcts that AzhwAr cannot live without the Almighty even for a 
second. Even the physique of AzhwAr melts on thinking of sweetness of the Lord 
Almighty. Is this state of affair intermittent for AzhwAr? No this is an 
experience day in and day out for AzhwAr.
The auspicious qualities and deeds of the Lord pierces into the mind of AzhwAr 
and melts him time and again. That is the nature of love towards the lord-great 
love-pEr amar kAdhal.
.

pAsuram-s: 

"pEar amar kAdhal kadal puraiya viLaivitha"--thiru voi mozhi 5-3-4----> 
TheGreat Love towards the Lord is created by the Lord Himself.
"pin ninRa kAdhal nOi nenjam peridhu adumAl" --thiru voi mozhi 5-4-6--> The 
Love becomes a disease as it pains the mind -makes it restless.
"kazhiya mikkadhOre kAdhgalaL ivaL" -thiru voi mozhi 5-5-10--> The friends 
around AzhwAr comment on AzhwAr's Love.
"kadal gnAlam seidhEnum yAnEa ennum"---> thiru voi mozhi 5-6-- all the elven 
pAsuram-s of this thiru voi mozhi 
reflect AzhwAr's mindset. AzhwAr is able to survive by acting like the Lord. 
AzhwAr says that " I created the world.I am the world. I am the cause effects. 
I am the Learning. I destroyed. I am the deities , the muni-s and so on. These 
pAsuram-s reflect that AzhwAr is not able to sustain himself by merely thinking 
about the Lord but need more by acting like the Lord.
"Agilum ini vunnai vittonRum ARRa kiRkinRilEan" --thiru voi mozhi 5-7-1--> " I 
am not able to be my self without being with you" is AzhwAr's predicament.
"ArA amudhEA adiyEAn vudalam nin pAl anbAyEa nErAi alaindhu karaiya " --thiru 
voi mozhi 5-8-1--> AzhwAr's physique melts on contemplating the sweetness of 
the Lord.
"vaigalum vinayEan meliya"--thiru voi mozhi 5-9-1--> This effect of Love is day 
in and day out for AzhwAr and not just intermittent.
"niRandhan vUdu pukku enadhu Aviyai ninRu ninRu vurukki vuNginRa"--thiru voi 
mozhi 5-10--> This thiru voi mozhi talks of deeds and qualities of the Lord 
Almighty which pierces into the mind of AzhwAr and torments.

Thus, the nature of Love and Affection towards the Lord is elaborated.
