AchArya Hrdhayam sUthram 228 THE NINTH TEN maraNamAnAl vaikuntham The Lord does not have any needs. He has got everything fully fulfilled. AndAL also says in the 28th thiruppAvai -kuRai onRum illAdha gOvindhA. The Lord who has got everything , rescues one and all, when they are in distress. He helps in emergency. He is the ultimate refuge when problems surface. He is the one to be sought in crisis. Hence, His quality is termed as 'Abath sagathvam' in this onbadhAm pathu. EArlier, it was observed that the Lord Almighty had displayed the nature of the soul to AzhwAr who also talked on this aspect,after realising it. What is the use of this? to act accordingly. Hence, AzhwAr desired the soul's nature -doing service at the divine feet of the Lord, immediately. There was a delay. The dealy accentuated the agony. The Lord gave a date for this. He assured that the final result will be granted to AzhwAr at the end of the physique of AzhwAr - 'indhach sarErathin mudivilEa pEARu thappAdhu' --Salvation shall be granted to you at the finish of the journey of this body. Having got this assurance, AzhwAr turned his eyes towards those who had still not reformed from his counselling and prescribed them appropriate means according to their capability. That is onbadhAm pathu. maraNamAnAl vaikuntham (to be continued) vanamamalai padmanabhan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
