Summary of the Song
In this song Sri Avudai Akkal declares that even for the wise, who has
recognized the Truth and abides in and as that Truth, Prarbdha karma (portion
of the karma (action) that determines the present life situation) will continue
until this body dies away. The implied
meaning is, unlike the ignorant, the wise remains unaffected by the Prarbdha. The wise simply performs the action without the
notion of either the doer or the enjoyer.
- Even if I abide as that (Supreme being) is it possible to get relieved from the Prarbdha (portion of Karma (action) that determines the present life situation)?
- Even if this jeeva gets liberated, the karma will continue to exhaust itself until this body dies away
- Some examples of Prarabdha
- The sun continues to rise every day
- Maha Vishnu has to take birth and undergoes turmoil during his several divine incarnations
- Shiva had went begging (Bhikshatana-murti)
- Prarbdha will continue even if
- (There is a) Association with the spiritual wise, every day
- The attention is on the reality (Consciousness, Self) at all times and all places
- Uttering daily that this world is illusion
- Fixing the mind at the feet of Supreme Guru with devotion
- Without getting caught in bewilderment due to the absence of desire and anger
- Even with the grace of His Holiness Guru Venkatesar
- Even while rejoicing that this world is temporal
- Even while abiding in the boundless Self Empire
பரமே அகமென்றி ருந்தாலும் பிராரப்தம் பட்டா லொழிய விடுமோ
paramay agam endru irunthaalum praapdham pattal ozhiya vidumoa
Even if I abide as that (Supreme being) is it possible to get relieved
from the Prarbdha (portion of Karma (action) that determines the present life situation)?
ஜீவன் முக்தி யடைந்தி ருந்தாலும் தேகம் போகும் தனையும் கர்மம் புசித்தன்றோ
கழியும்
jeevan mukthi adainthu irunthaalum thegam pogum thanaiyum karmam
pusithu androa kazhiyum
Even if this jeeva gets liberated, the karma will continue to exhaust
itself until this body dies away
உதித்து பிரதி தினமு மொழியவில்லை இரவிக்கு ஜனித்து மகா விஷ் ணு திரிகிறார்
கலங்கி
uthithu pirathi thinmum ozhiyavillai
iravikku janithu maha vishnu
thirigiraar kalangi
The sun continues to rise every day.
Maha Vishnu has to take birth and undergoes turmoil during his several
divine incarnations.
பசிக்கு பிச்சை எடுத்து பர யீசர் மயங்கினார்
pasikku pichai eduthu para eesar mayanginaar

prasiththam karmaa anubhavam pragaasamaai thudangi

kaama krodhangalatrtru kalakka mattru irunthalum

anger
ஸ்ரீமத் குரு வெங்கடேசர் தயவுயிருந்தாலும்
