Can a Merciful God Punish?



திருநாவுக்கரசர் அருளிய தேவாரம்
தலம்  :  திருக்கயிலாயம்
திருநேரிசை
4-ம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

கனக மா வயிரம் உந்து மாமணிக் கயிலை கண்டும்
உனகனாய் அரக்கன் ஓடி எடுத்தலும் உமையாள் அஞ்ச
அனகனாய் நின்ற ஈசன் ஊன்றலும் அலறி வீழ்ந்தான்
மனகனாய் ஊன்றினானேல் மறித்து நோக்கு இல்லையன்றே.

thirucciRRambalam

Meaning:
Even after seeing the golden, great diamond like, 
great gemlike (glorious) thirukkayilAyam,
as an ignoble the demon when hastened and heaved,
as the umA got frightened, the Master Who stood as 
blemishfree, when set (His toe), fell down screaming.
Had He firmly kept, there would be no review of it.

Notes:
1. When rAvaraNan put together all his strength to 
uproot the kailAs, the Lord slightly kept a finger down
and the daemon crumbled and screamed so pathetically
that he got the name rAvaNan. He later pleaded to God
for forgiveness and got Its blessings too.
  If the God had kept the finger down firmly, the demon
would have got destroyed on the spot and there would 
be nobody to even give a look of contradiction, forget
questioning the Lord! Being the Almighty, It can do
anything. But It does not. It rules by the justice and 
feeds only those justice that is appropriate and also
in the appropriate time and fashion, and all above 
with the purpose to correct the soul only. It has never 
an intention of punishing the soul. (If not what is the point 
in calling It extremely merciful?)
2. kanakam - gold; unagan - mean fellow; anagan - unblemished;
managanAy - man aganAy - with firm will.
