" rare " (or more difficultto attain) is to become a human being. " rarer " is to getbirth without any handicaps like bent back (kuun), blindness, deaf or " pedu " (neither male nor female - pl correct me here) even if one atains human birth without these dificiencies, still rarer is to obtain knowledge and education After obtaining knowledge and education, rarer is to do charity and penance And if one does charity and penance the gates towards the beings of higher realms would open. (though I wont want to contradict a realised person like avvaiyar, it is just my doubt that wont it be the lotus feet of Lord which is higher than the " vanavar " who belong to higher realms. Or may be here vaanavar means the God Himself) LORD MURUGAN: Oh Avvai, thank you for beautifully explaining what is rare. What is bad? AVVAIYAR: Oh Lord with beautiful Lance who is asking me about what is bad! Bad is poverty. Worse is poverty in youthhood. Much worse is uncurable dissease Worse than that is women without love (I think women need not be offended here for one reason, as per my understanding of the above statement. That is Love/compassion is more attributed to women as it is rare to spot a woman who is heartless and doesnt cry upon seeing miseries of others. But men are not like that. Many can be stone hearted. So it might have been intended that women are the one who always show love and compassion and it may not be rare to see a man not showing love.) Much worse than that is to joyfully eat food from them (It is said that most of what we eat, even vegetarian, is sinful. Anything should be offred to Lord to get it purified of all sins. One who eats non sinful is said to get purified in consciousness and it

becomes easy for him to devote himself towards Lord. Thats why, often prasadams offered to Lord are considered sacred and thatswhy even rich get into crowded people and strech their hands to take a bite of the pure and sacred food. Mothers cook for their family with love and devotion and thas why even simple home food is tastier than hotel food) LORD MURUGAN: Oh Avvai! you can win over all the worlds by your words and tamil. Can you tell me what is " Great " ? AVVAIYAR: Oh Lord with the long lance who is asking what is Great, Great is the world world is created by brahma brahma came from the navel of " kariyaman " (it should be Lord Vishnu) (much of what follows in the following few lines is really not clear to me - please add your comments here to correct me) kariyaman is from the sea full of tides (paaRkadal) the sea is contained in the hands of kurumuniyan kurumuni is born from kalasam and kalasm is smaller than puvi puvi is weightless for aravu and aravu is ring of Godess Uma (Consort of our beloved Lord Shiva) Uma is a part of Supreme Lord and the Supreme Lord resides in the heart of His devotee (Oh! God what an awesome explanation!!!) If you sing the glories of His Devotees it is " Great " as well. LORD MURUGAN: Oh Avvai! It wont be surprising if the beings of higher realms will also become addicted to your song. What is sweeter? AVVAIYAR: Oh Lord with the long lance who is asking about what is sweeter! Sweeter is the loneliness sweeter than that is praying the 'aathi' (beginning) sweeter than that is to be in company of knowledgible (but, can this be sweeter than praying the Lord) sweeter than that is to meet the knowledgible in dream and reality (as they could help you in your spiritual journey) LORD MURUGAN: Oh Avvai! You answered for what is rare, worse, Great and sweet. What is " New " ?

AVVAIYAR: It is ever new The Song is ever new The meaningful song is ever new Oh Lord Muruga! The meaningful song that sings in praise of you is ever new Oh Lord Muruga! The meaningful song that sings in praise of you is ever new The Song, that gave the " amrit " (or deathless) known as Tamil into the hearts of the " Blessed Poets " is ever new The beauty that came in the name of " MURUGAN " is ever new The youthhood of ever smiling KUMARAN is ever new For the mothers who gave birth to you, your pastimes are ever new For your father " Iraivan " (The Supreme God) your Lance and peacock are new. Oh Lord Muruga! The meaningful song that sings in praise of you is ever new For Moon and the Sun the body of KANDAN is new For those who (newly) joined (in devotion of Murugan) the mercy of KANTHAN is new. The rarest in knowledge, the biggest in blessings and the sweetest by eating again and again is your tamil langauge (probably Tamil is praised as it helps us in prasingthe Lord) That concludes in the begining and beigins at the conclusion Even for those who know the past, present and future, The Sixfaced Lord is new.
