avathArikai (Introduction)
To explain that if we wrongly explained the reason for loss and gain, ISvaran will abandon us, piLLai lOkAchAryar is using a worldly example and showing it.
sUthram 376
edukka ninaikkiRavanaith thaLLinAy engai edAmaikku uRuppiRE.
Simple Explanation
When a person who tries to help in pulling another person out, is blamed as the one who pushed him in, it will make that person abandon the initiative.
vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
edukka ninaikkiRavanai …
That is – when a person falls into a deep well due to his carelessness caused by his karma, a compassionate person who is standing-by will try to help to come out of the well. At that time, if the person inside the well considering only the fact that the person who had set out to help was standing in close proximity, said “Oh! You are the one who pushed me into the well”, the person outside would become angry thinking “He is blaming for a mistake that I did not commit” and abandon the initiative of helping him.
Similarly, when AthmA who remains fallen in the great pit of samsAram due to his own karma, blames ISvaran who is compassionate to try and rescue the AthmA, saying “All along you have pushed me into samsAram and kept me here”, ISvaran will become angry and abandon the AthmA saying “Let him suffer as he deserves”.
