Question : In Thiruppavai first paasuram, it is said madhi niraintha nanna:la:l Posted On : 23-12-2018 ANSWER : The Supreme Lord is intense like the Sun. The acharya who refects His compassion is cool like the moon . Check notes Note : The Lord is intense like the Sun. The a:cha:rya who refects His compassion is cool like the moon. He is the moon that nourishes the crop of knowledge and leads one to eternal bliss. Only that day in which the grace of the a:cha:rya is received is worth remembering. The life of one who is devoid of the grace of the a:cha:rya is as undesirable as a lotus is, that parts from the life-sustaining water. The Lord subordinates Himself to the a:cha:rya and enters the heart of the disciple though the manthram given by the a:cha:rya and reforms the disciple to be eminent and reputable. To attain such a state, one need not belong to a particular species, caste, religion, or gender etc. The desire to be uplifted is enough. A:nda:l reiterates, ni:ra:dappo:du vi:r, that the only prerequisite is that intense desire for the Lord. |
