Another gem from the Boss!
Again as Parakala Nayaki but specifically talking about the following key 5 concepts
(1) Ultimate Goal
(2) Attributes of those trying to reach Perumal
(3) Nature of Perumal
(4) Limitlessness of Perumal's ability to protect
(5) Limitlessness of love of those trying to reach Perumal
But this is all nice. Where does the suffering come from?
Lets first cross out the list of 5 items and then enjoy the pasuram.
நிலயாளா நின் வணங்க - Without any other thoughts or distractions, only to reach you - The ultimate goal
வேண்டாயே ஆகிலும் - Even if you are thinking that (the above) should not be the case - No matter what, the means rest with Perumal. Everything else is inappropriate.
என் முலையாள ஒரு நாள் - We will see in detail below. Essentially Parakala Nayaki is requesting a hug from perumal. Describes the nature of those who are seeking perumal
சிலையாளா - Perumal's limitless power and and the fact that only he needs to be surrendered to!
மரம் எய்த - limitlessness of perumal's ability to protect and to indicate the love/desire of a jeevathma to reach perumal
Lets first enjoy parakala nayaki's desire here.
She is basically saying that Perumal needs to think that .. yes.. parakala nayaki should reach me to serve me eternally in my abode. Without that, nothing happens. But he is not doing that because "may be" he does not want that. Even so, cant he just give her a hug with his huge wide chest to cover her breasts (indicating the suffering nayaki is undergoing because of her bakthi)!! How can this happen when he does not seem to like her?
Parakala nayaki is saying that atleast for one day he should just think of others instead of just him and he can keep his heart with someone and just give his chest to her :-(
சிலையாளா- After all in the Rama Avatar, you were carrying you bow and arrow just to prevent the sounds of people suffering calling out ... meaning you were carrying those to protect people. In a way, this is the same situation. Why dont you protect me as well?
மரம் எய்த திறலாளா - Sugriva had his doubts about you and wanted you to demonstrate your power and so you used one arrow through seven trees. So you do act for people who doubt you but here I am longing for you and you dont do anything.
On top of all this, you are waiting for us @ திருமெய்யம் to continue your work of Rama avatar for folks like me in this yuga.
நீயாள வளையாள மாட்டோமே - when you were away, we pined and slimmed down and lost our bangles. When you came and hugged, we literally grew big with happiness and the bangle exploded.
So we will never have the bangles...
A very moving anecdote from our acharyas like on this topic. Fantastic lesson too ...
An Acharya called Ammangi Ammal was in his death bed suffering due to disease. Swami Nanjeeyar went to visit him along with Swamy Nampillai. He was enquiring about how such a person who was devoted to perumal and his own acharya can suffer like this. How is it fair?
For that, Swami Ammangi Ammal responds.. Parakala Nayaki has said நீயாள வளையாள மாட்டோமே. So its inevitable to suffer when you are a devotee and are blessed by perumal.
Can such a mindset ever be achieved?
