Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Thiruvarutpayan (திருவருட்பயன்) 

 

அறியும் நெறி

கண் தொல்லை காணும் நெறி கண் உயிர் நாப்பண் நிலை
உண்டில்லை அல்லது ஒளி    56

Song as Romanized text

 
aRiyum neRi

kaN thollai kANum ~neRi kaN uyir ~nAppaN ~nilai
uNDillai allathu oLi        56

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 Eye has the capability to see by nature;
The eye and the centred life will see when there is light;
Without light, it cannot.

(The same way without the Grace of God, even though the 
life is an intelligent being, it cannot liberate itself.)

 Notes: 

1. thollai - earlier / by nature; ~nAppaN - at the center

2. The song to be read in three phrases as:
கண் தொல்லை காணும் நெறி 
கண் உயிர் நாப்பண் நிலை உண்டு 
இல்லை அல்லது ஒளி

3. The eye is fully fit. The life force inside is also wanting to see.
But the seeing can happen only if there is light in the room.
If not the capable eye and the interested life will not be able to meet their objective.
The same way, the intelligent life also requires the Grace to get liberated.
