avathArikai (Introduction)
Subsequently, piLLai lOkAchAryar is mercifully explaining how self’s pursuit in AchAryan’s matter, failed to be a means.
sUthram 446
AchAryanaiyum thAn paRRum paRRu ahankAra garbham AgaiyAlE, kAlan koNdu mOdhiram idumOpAdhi.
Simple Explanation
Since self pursuing AchAryan is done due to pride, it is like getting a ring from the kAlan (the deity of death).
vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
AchAryanaiyum …
That is – self pursuing AchAryan as means will cause disgrace for the true nature of the self due to being filled with pride in the form of self being the enjoyer of the result and self being the doer. This will cause destruction of the true nature; this is similar to accepting gold from kAlan who will cause destruction of self, making a ring with that ornament and wearing it. Thus, it is implied that this is also not the means.
