Where is God ? (Karaikal Ammaiyar)

 
 

காரைக்கால் அம்மையார் அருளிய - அற்புதத் திருவந்தாதி

 
பதினோராம் திருமுறை. 
 
திருச்சிற்றம்பலம் 
 
வானத்தான் என்பாரும் என்கமற் றும்பர்கோன் 
தானத்தான் என்பாரும் தாமென்க - ஞானத்தான் 
முன்நஞ்சத் தாலிருண்ட மெய்யொளிசேர் கண்டத்தான் 
என்நெஞ்சத் தானென்பன் யான்.  
 
திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

Meaning of Arpudha Tiruvanthathi


    Those who say He resides up in the sky, say so; 
Those who say the Lord of divines residing down in the 
world beneath, say so. I would say, the Lord of wisdom,  
Who got His throat brightly adorned with the stain of  
poison, is residing in my heart ! 
 
Notes

 
1. More often one keeps pondering in the details of where 
and in what form is God and what all could be the ways. 
It is all fine, as sound enquiry is quite encouraged in Hindu 
Philosophy. But the fact remains that in spite of being 
unexplorably complex, God is also as simple to one who  
approaches It with love. God is not just in the places 
beyond sight. It is right there in the abodes of our hearts. 
2. umbar - devas; moyyoLi cEr - splendid.
