AchArya Hrdhayam SUthram 226

THE EIGHTH TEN

pEARum avanEA, vazhiyum avanEA


The Lord possesses immense knowledge and immeasurable power culminating into 
tremondous force, which was seen in the seventh ten. Accordingly, the Lord had 
the things which emit happiness eternally- which is termed as sathya kAman- the 
quality empahsised in this ettAm pathu. The Lord wanted to assuage AzhwAr's 
yearnings and restore him to normal self. AzhwAr due to non exprience of the 
Lord became confused, had doubts regarding His nature and qualities and became 
afraid of this world of briths and rebirths. The Almighty reminded AzhwAr reg. 
the grace showered upon AzhwAr. AzhwAr immediately out of gratitude submitted 
his soul. The Lord's yield was immeasurable satisfaction -peRAp pEARu. However, 
having seen AzhwAr distance himself -as AzhwAr suddenly develops the feeling of 
being inferior-naichiyam- the Lord highlighted and displayed the nature of the 
soul-Anma swarUpam. AzhwAr became further clear reg.' the means and the end'
The means and the end are different usually. However, both are same here. The 
means and the end are one and the same. The Lord Almighty is both the means and 
the end, is the message delivered in the ettAm pathu.
