Thiruvaaymozhi 8.7- He is just waiting for our "NOD" to enter into our heart!

Sri: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, AzhwAr simply could NOT imagine that what he is experiencing (i.e. the Lord entered into his heart and stays united with him) is TRUE. He is simply flabbergasted at Emperumaan's mercy on him and His decision to stay united with him. AZHWAT IS DAMN EXCITED AND THESE VERSES REALLY SPEAK VOLUMES OF HIS JOY AND HAPPINESS! He is OVERWHELMED BY EMPERUMAAN'S LIMITLESS MERCY. Let us enjoy both AzhwAr's joy and Emperumaan's mercy. 1. I pleaded Him everyday and prayed to Him that I need to be blessed by Him to be at His Feet as His servant. When I did so, that Vaamana mUrthy, out of His great mercy blessed me and accepted my request. In fact, He has considered my request as His own thinking. He is so happy glancing at me continuously. (NampiLLai elaborates so beautifully: Emperumaan's glancing the AzhwAr so happily without taking His eyes off is similar to that of the relieved proud happy Parents who look at their child coming out unscathed from a very dreadful big deadly disease! - How nice is the comparison and simile!) 2. Emperumaan mercifully made the efforts of all my cruel five sense organs (to attack my mind with dreadful terrible diseases) get destroyed completely and also shows His Divine Beauty to me, while He keeps on looking at me gracefully! He captivated and attracted me with His exquisite beauty to enable me to prevent myself getting entangled into influence of five senses. The way He has thus shown His dayA/ mercy on me, the lowly self. His dayA on me is much bigger than His krupai on GajEndrA even. When one realises His krupai (or dayA) on me, His mercy on that GajEndra is NOTHING. I can tell that this is so great and so magnanimous of Him. 3. My Lord, Emperumaan, is present in my heart so as to completely remove my ajjnAnam (ignorance). Hence, His mercy and dayA to escape the influence of sense organs is also comparably less than this dayA of His. Not just that alone! The Lord, who is at Paramapadham and rules all three worlds from there, considers my heart more grand and dear for Him and lovingly, willingly stays in my heart. Is it NOT MY PARAMA BHAGYAM? Even His love and affection/dayA on me- I am scared that it is His one of His mischief or is it my own day dreaming that He is my heart? I don't know. 4. KaNNan- that Chief of Nitya sUris- isn't He the Male Lion? (Yes He is!). He has kept His Most Beautiful Divine Divya MangaLa vigraham in my heart and has completely ruled me! Due to His grace and mercy, I have NO DOUBTS hereafter; No more- such doubts, suspicions, those terrible, traps can approach me! Since, He has mixed with me by being in my heart, I will NOT say that He has haunted me and confounded my confusions. I will only say that He has only illuminated my inner self with His Greatest brightest jYothswarUpam in me. 5. He entered and is standing in me so mercifully to let the whole world celebrate me "Blessed really is he". Due to His grace, He saved me; He stayed in me and is even making others praise me. He showed me this and is standing in me like a mountain of Emerald. There is nothing more blissful than this. I do not need and long for any other enjoyment, nor any other praises. 6. When there are so many pleasures and happiness that He can bless one, He has blessed me with the Greatest of all- offering Himself to me in my heart. To who else, will He offer Himself like this? It is due to His love for me, He has offered Himself. What a Beauty is He! He is like the Lotus flowers (His eyes, His chest, His Hands, His Lotus Feet, Navel, ) bloom above the huge Black Emerald mountain. 7. His Red Beautiful mouth, His lovely youthful navel, His milk white teeth, His long hair, - all of these are competing with each other in their beauty. He is simply the personification of Beauty. Such Lord has enetered into my heart and is looking at me with His Divine Beautiful smile on His Coral lips. I do not know anything other than His smiling face and His Greatest limitless mercy on me for that. That is ENOUGH FOR ME. I DO NOT NEED ANYTHING ELSE. 8. My ruler- My master- "I should bless and shower my dayA"- if ever He decides of that, He needs no reason or efforts on our part. He simply pours His dayA very happily and willingly. He shows His joy completely. Such a thing he has done on me. I do not know anything else. Such a Greatest Lord- who has all three worlds in His stomach- is now staying in the heart of this "small" person so mercifully; What can I say about that! 9. The kings protect his people like the mother protects the foetus. These kings help and provide alms to Brahmins. Hence the three worlds protect these kings and Brahmins in them, which in turn are protected by Sriman Narayanan in His stomach (during MahA praLayam). Such Greatest SarvEshwaran is He. When he protects the worlds, He doe NOT undergo any change or transformation at any time. Due to his grace, He has shown mercy on me and is in my heart permanently. 10. (Dearest Sisters and Brothers! THIS IS A VERY GOOD PASURAM!). ParamAthmA- Param poruL Emperumaan- I have retained in Him, with my "anumathi" (permission). (i.e. PerumAL wished to come in and I said "ok". He entered- ALL THAT HE IS WAITING FOR IS OUR NOD AND HE IS EXTREMELY PLEASED TO ENTER INTO OUR HEART AN STAYS. WHAT A DAYA SAAGARAN! AN OCEAN OF MERCY!) After that, I will never get separated from Him anymore. That Emperumaan has the bed of Adhiseshan on the Milk Ocean (ThiruppaaRkadal). Such SarvEshwaran has entered into His property (i.e. me) and hence, I WILL NOT HAVE ANY MORE SORROWS. 11. Sri SadagOpar of Thirukkurugoor has sung about the ways to attain the Lotus Feet of Emperumaan (who has Adhiseshan as His Bed) in 1000 pAsurams. Those who read these ten (out of 1000) will NOT GET THE DISEASE OF BIRTHS.
