Decad: 33 Kuzhaiththa Paththu (The Decad of Bruising) Sub-title:Aathma nivethanam - (Self - Dedication" Abstract: In this decad the saint explains how he has been bruised. He painfully poses a number of questions to God. “If I err should You not forgive me?(1). If You go on merely punishing me without hailing me and taking me into Your service, what gain will accrue?(2). Has Your Mercy offered to save me then, ceased to be to-day? What is the harm if You take my faults as virtues?(3). If I am perplexed, what is the way out?(4) Should You not comfort me?(5). Impelling me to enter this fleshy form causing me to wallow in it and making me to forget Your glory of exclaiming, “Ah! Ah! (Come here unto me!) Why have You not dismantled my fleshy body?(2). Instead of contemplating on Your jewelled Feet which I saw to the delight of my eyes shall Ibrood on shedding this bodyon earth and entering beneath Your feet?(9). Other than leaving this matter of delusive birth in Your hands, is it for me to search into it? Is the authority mine here?(8). Whether You do good to me or You do ill to me have I mastery over this?(7). The saint also points out that he saw His Feet to the delight of his eyes(9) and He showed him. His resplendent sacred Form(10) and took him into His service (10,86). He cries out “Oh Kuzhahaal without bestowing on me the noted august state of Bliss You have sorely bruised me! (10). Fine indeed is my serfdom to You !” (9).
