In this slokam Kulasekara Azhwar appeals his mind, Oh mind, please do not worry and fear being sent to hell due to our misdeeds on earth. The sins cannot prevent Sriman Narayana our Sridharan reaching us. But we should worship him incessantly without any interruption. Do not worry thinking he is not reachable even to the very learned yogis, “how can I reach him”. Sriman Narayana is very compassionate to his bhakthas. Will he not remove all our sins and take us into his fold if we surrender to him as his servant?
