Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Thiruvarutpayan (திருவருட்பயன்) 

 

உயிர் விளக்கம்

ஐம்புலனால் தாம் கண்டதென்றால், அது ஒழிய
ஐம்புலன் ஆர்? தாம் ஆர்? அதற்கு  69

Song as Romanized text

 
Uyir Vilakkam

aimpulanAl thAm kaNDathenRAl athu oziya
aimpulan Ar thAm Ar athaRku     69

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 If one says, "I saw It through my five faculties.",
in Its absence, what use are the five faculties and
what can the self do?

 Notes: 

1. When the realization is not ripe, 
with the spiritual advancement one can misjudge
the parts of the realization to be the effort of
the self through the faculties.

However, if the Supreme Grace conceals Itself,
all the striving of the individual is just waste.
There can be absolutely no advancement.

Here is where, Buddhists and Jains went wrong
focusing on the self effort and not the Grace of
the Divine. The result would be digging in a quagmire
- never realizing the Bliss of the Divine.

ஐயுறும் அமணரும் அறுவகைத் தேரரும் 
ஊழியும் உணராக் காழி அமர்ந்தனை - சம்பந்தர்
