The Neglected Lover Has no use for Her Beauty. (N)

What use have I for that beauty
Not coveted by the Lord
Who partitioned his body
To Siva, Brahma and Lakshmi
And ordered his army to reduce
The asuras clan by clan?

What use have I for the heart
Not coveted by the Lord
Who wears on his chest Lakshmi
Ever full of dazzling beauty?
With his mountainous shoulders
He enslaved my heart
To do his bidding without fault
And now has no use for it.

A demoness in mothers form
Suckled him,
Ane he the wise child 
Sucked her dead.
If that great Lord on his hooded snake
Doesn't covet my modesty
what use is it to me?

He subdued seven bulls to clasp
Bamboo shouldered Nappinai.
He wears an ochre garment and drives
His cows with a stick in hand.
If he does not covet
My tender leaf complexion
what use is it to me?

If the Lord of the sea and the earth
Crowned with the sweet basil,
Who to rescue parrot tongued Sita
From her notorious prison
Burnt that haughty demon's city,
Does not covet my wisdom
what use is it to me?

The Lord of wisdom expounded
The paths of virtue to all the world
And yet taking the form of a dwarf
Grabbed the earth deceitfully!
 If he does not covet my radiance
What use is it to me?

His radiance ever on the rise
he burst forth like a lion
And rejoiced tearing up
Hiranya's broad chest
If that radiant blue gem
With his fiery discus and conch
Does not covet my bangles
What use are they to me?

He blew his whorled conch and its sound
Spread like wild fire
Mid the opposing hordes
And terrified them.
Siva Brahma and Indra
Extolled him for ridding
the world of its woes and if he
Does not covet my waistlet
What use is it to me?

He severed the arms of Bana
Slim waisted Usha's father
And resting on his serpent bed
Looks after the world
If he does not covet 
this body of mine
What use is it to me?

He cut to pieces the Asuras hordes
Which lie scattered like rocks
A part of his body is occupied
By Siva with his matted hair
Out of which flows the Ganga
If he does not covet my soul
What use is that soul to me?

Those who will recite this decad
Among Satagopan's thousand
In praise of the one who stomached
All the seven worlds
And also the curds and butter
Which he stole and enjoyed
Will sever their bondage to this world
And reach paradise.

karmam easier than dhyanam

When circumstances in life force you towards your Karma its like the Lord is imparting a great knowledge to you as if giving you a chance to see life in a new light to see how futile life on this earth its like giving you another chance to know the meaning of our life what matters and what should be concentrated on. throwing options by means of obstacles to make life's choices. some times Karma teaches you quicker than dhyanam. like it all boils down to a few simple facts of the truth. yes that is why it is called simply the truth.

3 ways to awareness

The three ways to awareness are : Primary consciousness subsidary awareness and reflexive awareness.

Michael Polanyi uses the terms 'focal' and 'subsidiary' awareness to indicate the difference between, for example, seeing the two images that are presented to the separate eyes (subsidiary) and seeing the combination of these images as a three dimensional image (focal). Whilst we are, on some level, seeing the two subsidiary images we cannot become consciously aware of these, only of the composite '

splendor

The first words in all lines in any verse in the Thiruvaimoli usually rhyme  as is seen in the verse below:
En perukku an nalattu.
On porul iru ila
Van pukal naranan
tin kalal cere
Endless numbers good
bright objects no end
bounteous / praise fame Naranan
certain feet reach.

Infinitely good ----- dazzling goal  ------ without end 
his glorious fame    Reach Naranan's secure feet.

simply good

The Navaratri Brahmotsavam.

The Grace ever present.

Lords grace is ever present only we must make a habit to realise it.  we should tune in our minds to see what God has done for us. most often most people get so lost in their wants that they fail to see how god has blessed them. we have been taught from a very early age but we some how forget. count your many blessings name them one by one and you will be surprised what the Lord has done. If one notices the negative and blows it out of proportion then one sees only what he does not relish instead if one makes it a habit to notice only the good that is there then one becomes aware of the good all around him there is so much of goodness you only need to make it a practice to notice it and be aware of the Lords blessings the Lord is not partial he gives in equal measure to all only we do not see it for we do not look for it.
