16. Association of those lost in life-cycle - (Akka Mahadevi)

ಅಕ್ಕ ಮಹಾದೆವಿಯವರ ವಚನ

 

ಭವಿಸಂಗವಳಿದು ಶಿವಭಕ್ತನಾದ ಬಳಿಕ

ಭಕ್ತಂಗೆ ಭವಿಸಂಗ ಅತಿಘೋರ ನರಕ !

ಶರಣ ಸತಿ - ಲಿಂಗ ಪತಿಯಾದ ಬಳಿಕ

ಶರಣಂಗೆ ಸತಿಸಂಗ ಅತಿಘೋರ ನರಕ !

ಚೆನ್ನಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನ,

ಲಿಂಗೈಕ್ಯಂಗೆ ಪ್ರಾಣಗುಣ ಅಳಿಯದವರ ಸಂಗವೇ ಭಂಗ !

 

akka mahAdeviyavara vachana

 

bhavisaMgavaLidu shivabhaktanAda baLika

bhaktaMge bhavisaMga atighOra naraka !

sharaNa sati - liMga patiyAda baLika

sharaNaMge satisaMga atighOra naraka !

cennamallikArjuna,

liMgaikyaMge prANaguNa aLiyadavara saMgavE bhaMga !

 

Meaning:

After becoming shivabhakta eliminating the association

of those stuck to incarnation cycle, for that devotee

the association of such people is a very cruel hell !

Refugee (devotee) - the wife, linga (God) - the husband,

after having got to that stage, for the refugee the desire

of women is very cruel hell !

Oh Nice Lord mallikArjuna,

for the one seeking union with linga, the association

of those who have not left off the properties of soul

(being stuck to mala - ANava, kanma, mAya), is the hurdle !

 

Notes:

1. One can be excellently good and determined to reach

the Ultimate bliss and can be constantly working to get

to there. All those marvelous efforts can be ruined if the

association of those who cannot leave out their down-pulling

desires casts its shadow on that seeker. The spiritually

inclined should be very careful of the company chosen.

 c.f. I wont be afraid of sharp spear; (fear)

      Nor would I be afraid of beautiful women; (desire)

      But I would be very concerned about the association

       of those who do not have love to my Lord shiva !

             - mANikkavAsakar

 This does not mean that one should not care for those

  who are lost in the cycle of life. Like the one who rescues

  the drowning person to the shore the focus should be pull

  others to the divine path, not to get drowned hugging the

  drowning one.
