121.Kumaragurupara Swamigal’s Sakalakalavalli Maalai-Stanza 7 Poem by rajagopal haran

Tamil Transliteration:

Paattum porulum porulaall porundhum payanumennpaal
Koottumpadi ninn kadaikkanall kaayulung kondu thondar
Theendung kalaiththamizhth theempaal amudham thelikkumvannam
Kaattumvell oadhimapp paedae sakala kalaavalliyae!

Translation Poem:

Mother! Expert in art, science!
Meditating on you, Tamil poets shower,
the rich milk food of Tamil!
You are like the swan that separates milk from water precisely!
Bless me that I compose poems well
Also that they are rich in content!
Condescend to glance me through the corner of your eye
That my compositions are pregnant, always with
Virtue, principles of life, aspects of love and liberation!

Message:

The meaning of writing a poem is to impart the four—virtue, principles of Life, aspects of love and liberation

Explanation:

The four words Aram, porul, Inbam and Veedu in Tamil denote-

(1) 'aram' (virtue of charity)
(2) 'porul' (wealth)
(3) 'inbam' (pleasure)
and
(4) 'veedu' (spiritual emancipation) .

Swami Desikan in his poem 'paramartha-stuthi' spoke of this very aspiration-

avadheerya chaturvidham pumartham
Bhava-dhartE viniyukta-jeevitah: sann!
labhatE Bhavatah: falAni jantuh:
nikhilAn-yatra nidarshanam jatAyuh: ! !

(Any living being that transcends the 4-fold
'purushaarthaas' of life and dedicates itself wholly to
You, O Almighty One... such a soul does easily reap
all the fruits of Thy World of Bliss which Jatayu (of
the Ramayana) too earned! ') .

If we analyze the above facts one thing is clear; children are above all these things..That’s why they are comparable to God

One episode from the life of a devotee of Mata Amrutanandamayi, which I read in the morning, serves a direct example

There is a poor person; he is a devotee of Amma; he met and amma asked him to bring his children; he forgot

amma reminded him when he came next time; he has a daughter; she got married; she gave birth to a son;
he was born a heart patient

These people were shattered

They met amma

Amma assured them not to worry

The boy, our hero always plays with Amma’s photos and Amma dolls; she is his love, friend, philosopher and guide

They were referred to AIMS Kerala by my Mother Mata Amrutanandamayee

On the operation day the boy refused to come inside the theatre; he told that Amma had assured him that she would accompany him during operation,

The nurse said that Amma is doing bhajans inside (in AIMS hospital they play bhajans) the boy believed and joyfully entered; operation went on for 9 hours; after 3 days he regained his consciousness.

What he narrates here is the essence of the state of bliss which is possible if we cross the 4 states of aram, porul, inbam and veedu

He stated “ Aachi (in Tamilnadu grandchildren call grandma as Aachi) , from the time I entered the operation theatre Kaalima (mother kali—Amrutanandamayee) was sitting by my side only; she was looking at me only smiling all the time”

Point is the bondage of love between that child and Amma; it has no material transaction involvement; there is no hidden agenda; its all love for love sake; Amma promised something and the child confirms that Amma has fulfilled the same

Kumaragurupara swamigal also requests my Mother in the same way; if we develop that love then Almighty will never leave that child.

I use to say to all my friends and relatives that God has no relative; If we consider Him/Her as our relative/friend then there is no barrier for the love flow.
