Does God beg out of poverty?

திருஞானசம்பந்தர் அருளிய திருக்கடைக்காப்பு தலம் திருக்கண்டியூர் வீரட்டம் பண் கொல்லி 3-ம் திருமுறை வினாவுரை திருச்சிற்றம்பலம் வினவினேன் அறியாமையில், உரை செய்ம்மின் நீர், அருள் வேண்டுவீர்; கனைவிலார் புனற் காவிரிக்கரை மேய கண்டியூர் வீரட்டன் தனம் முனே தனக்கின்மையோ ? தமர் ஆயினார் அண்டம் ஆளத் தான் வனனில் வாழ்க்கை கொண்டாடிப் பாடி இவ் வையம் மாப்பலி தேர்ந்ததே. திருச்சிற்றம்பலம் thirunyAnacambandhar aruLiya thirukkaDaikkAppu thalam thirukkaNDiyUr vIraTTam paN kolli 3rd thirumuRai vinAvurai thirucciRRambalam vinavinEn aRiyAmaiyil, urai ceymmin n^Ir, aruL vENDuvIr; kanaivilAr punaR kAvirikkarai mEya kaNDiyUr vIraTTan dhanam munE thanakkinmaiyO ? thamar AyinAr aNDam ALAth thAn vananil vAzkkai koNDu ADip pADi iv vaiyam mAppali thErn^thathE! thirucciRRambalam Meaning: I asked out of unawareness. Please tell me, oh those who are seeking Grace! The One at thirukkaNDiyUr vIraTTam on the bank of kAviri that has agile moving water, is it because He does not have wealth? While those who came to His fold are ruling the universe, He is living in the forest, dances and sings and begs in this world!! Notes: 1. This padhikam is fully in the tone of enquiring the devotees about various deeds of the Lord. Hence it is called vinAvurai. 2. Isn't this question smarter than an answer? cambandhar asks, "Is it because the Lord does not have wealth of His own? All those who fall in His feet rule the universe - be it kubera, indra, brahma, viShNu all divines. How come He is dancing, singing and begging in the world?" All the things belong only to God. All the wealth we, the divines or any other creature has are got by Its grace. Then why is It wearing tiger skin and wandering like a beggar? Because It has no use of all these wealth. It is the immature souls that are dependent on external wealth to get happiness and for that Perfect being which is ever Blissful with no dependency, these are no adornments. 3. kanaivu - fastness; punal - water; thamar - own people; pali - alms.
