What to do with limitations ?
சேக்கிழார் அருளிய திருத்தொண்டர் புராணம்

பன்னிரண்டாம் திருமுறை
திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்
"ஐயர் நீர் யாழ் இதனை முரிக்குமது என் ? ஆளுடையாளுடனே கூடச்
செய்ய சடையார் அளித்த திருவருளின் பெருமையெலாந் தெரிய நம் பால்
எய்திய இக்கருவியினில் அளவுபடுமோ ? நந்தம் இயல்புக்கேற்ப
வையகத்தோர் அறிவுற இக்கருவி அளவையின் இயற்றல் வழக்கே" என்றார்.

Meaning of song:
"oh reverend ! Why do you break this yAz ? Will all
the glory of the holy grace that Lord of
red-matted-hair along with the Governing-lady gave,
get confined to this instrument that we got with our
wisdom ?! It would be appropriate to play within the
bounds of this instrument, to the sense of the world,
to our essential quality.", he said.
Notes:
1. As sambandhar sang "mAthar maDappiDiyum" at
tharumapuram, thirunIlakaNTa yAzppANar could not play
it in his yAz. That great musician devotee felt his
service has flawed and went to destory his yAz.
Stopping him, sambandhar said this.
"God's grace is so immense that no instrument in the
world can play it in completeness."
2. This is true not just for that yAz that yAzppANar
had, but to all instruments including the bodies we
dwell in. Given that the instruments we have are
constrained by limitations, one should not stop
frustrated. Rather with whatever available one needs
to utilize them to the best of the purpose and using
those flawed instruments try to reach the Flawless
Supreme.
