avathArikai (Introduction)

piLLai lOkAchAryar mercifully explains the result of these aspects [mercy and total dependence].

sUthram 314

kruapaiyAlE Sishyan svarUpam sidhdhikkum; pArathanthryaththAlE than svarUpam sidhdhikkum.

Simple Explanation

By mercy, Sishya’s true nature will be attained; by total dependence, self’s true nature will be attained.

vyAkyAnam (Commentary)

krupaiyAlE …

That is – as the disciple’s true nature becomes pure day by day by the mercy of AchArya who gives instructions etc until the disciple is reformed, the disciple’s true nature will be attained; by considering self to be a tool of self’s AchArya, without any thought of doership, and by total dependence which makes self engagement in all acts as a dependent on AchArya, self’s true nature will be attained.

Thus, the following aspects have been established:

  • while instructing, misunderstanding regarding self, disciple and the result, is highly forbidden
  • what are those misunderstandings
  • the way these visible results are attained while they were not expected
  • the way the real result and the quality of being an AchArya are attained
  • unlike as mentioned here, if instructed with misunderstanding, how that will destroy the true nature of both the AchArya and Sishya
  • the two essential qualities of an AchArya
  • and the results of those qualities
