How to overcome rebirth ?

 
 

காரைக்கால் அம்மையார் அருளிய - அற்புதத் திருவந்தாதி

 
பதினோராம் திருமுறை. 
 
திருச்சிற்றம்பலம் 
 
இனியோ நாம்உய்ந்தோம் இறைவன் அருள்சேர்ந்தோம் 
இனியோ ரிடரில்லோம் நெஞ்சே - இனியோர் 
வினைக்கடலை யாக்குவிக்கும் மீளாப் பிறவிக் 
கனைக்கடலை நீந்தினோம் காண்.

Meaning of Arputha thiruvanthadhi


    Hereafter we are salvaged. (Because)  
We reached out to the Feet of God. Oh mind,  
hereafter there is no suffering for us !  
We have swam out of the noisy ocean of births 
that results in the ocean of vinai (karma) 
subsequently. 
 
Notes

 
1. This concise four line hymn of the very reverend 
woman saint, would trigger off explanations that  
would run to pages ! To be brief - What one is fed with 
is whatever has been the deeds earned in the past - this  
is the standard philosophy of vinai/karma. Left to its  
own, it is a never ending cycle. As one is born on the 
earth, enjoys/suffers the fruits of the past deed and 
adds a few more good/bad deeds to the account that would 
be withdrawn in subsequent times. How does one come out 
of this loop ?! It is possible only by the Grace of God. 
If one reaches out and holds tightly the Feet of Lord  
shiva, that is the boat that would save one from the 
immense ocean of reincarnation.
