Meaning of Arputha Thiruvanthathi
Those who did not get the deeper sense out,
keep lecturing out the book-read knowledge. The
Supreme Black-throated Lord's Being is of the
form and posture on which whoever (meditates),
performing whatever austerities, staying in whatever
postures and being in whatever forms.
Notes
1. The endless arguments on minor surface level details
are only good for those who have blind faith - those
who base their knowledge only out of reading out certain
books. What is more important is to understand the Divine
concept. It is beyond what could be described in a book.
It is even beyond the reaches of the mind ! It does not
get bound by any form or place etc. It takes innumerous
forms for the innumerous devotees of innumerous kinds.
