Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 29-08-2009
What is the true meaning of the phrase: Edupaarkaipillai?” There is a meaning apart from the one commonly understood. Referring to a common usage, by lifting a child he or she does not become yours automatically. That only amounts to stealing. Only when you fulfill all your responsibilities towards a child does he or she become yours.
Now coming to the origin of the phrase, it was: Edupaar Kayappu Illaaai, (Kayapu means Kasappu or bitterness). This could translate as: Edupaarikku kayappu illai. Those who take on the responsibility of service to the divine will have no reason for bitterness or remorse. If on the other hand you feel that by taking on a responsibility you are suffering some kind of loss then the responsibility will go into someone else’s charge. If it is a child, the child will go into someone else’s keeping. If you are not wholeheartedly participating in discharging the responsibility and choose to withdraw from it; it can lead you into problems.
