Meaning of Thevaram

If You say, this deed (undergoing sufferings/benefits got) are the  
result of the old deeds (karma - deeds done by one in the past), is it  
not a flaw for You not to provide a path of rescue ? We, devotees  
worship You with the service of our hands, the fruits of the action not  
touch us ! thirunIlakaNTam !! 
 
Notes

1. When the young saint and the other devotees were pilgrimaging in  
kongu state (western tamilnadu), the accompanying devotees were severly  
affected by the cold viral fever. The loveful sambandhar sang this  
padhikam, praying to the Lord to save the devotees from calamities,  
because they have completely devoted their lives in the Lord's service  
and they have no refuge other than the God. By the Grace of God the  
fever of the devotees was cured and they continued their service. 
2. This is a song of very deep meaning. It should not be misinterpretted.  
One has to undergo the effects of the actions he/she performs. This  
applies to all. But as per Shaivism apart from the three - doer, deed &  
fruit of the deed - there is a giver, which is the God who has the  
overall authority over the system. What sambandhar prays for is the  
case of the matured devotees who in a complete selfless mode "devoted"  
themselves to the Lord. This needs to be well understood. (The president  
of India has all the right quash the death order given by the court.  
But if one assumes that he is going to apply this to all, may end up in  
the gallows !) 
3. This padhikam is sung for the betterment from viral sufferings, for  
relief from evil forces (pilli, suniyam) and for the betterment of  
younger brothers. (The complete padhikam is available through  
siddhanta/prayers-for-specific-ailments)
