Overcoming Immortality and Becoming a Mumuksu.
These two verses are of outstanding importance in throwing light upon the basic impulses that have shaped the metaphysics of man from at least from the Sumerian times. These notions were expressed as metaphors and mythical themes earlier but only in Tirumular we seem to attaining a scientific clarity (and again lost even among the so-called acaryas)
In Sumerian literature we see Suruppak expressing the same ideas as getting across the river of turbulent waters and reaching the shores across. In the epic of Gilgames, the same theme appears in the mythical garb of the tragic Hero of Gilgames who, despite valiant attempts to vanquish death (like JiuSudra) fails to do so and hence made to understand that he cannot escape DEATH that remains already allotted to him.
In these verses we have a SCIENTIFIC explanation of these instinctual pressures and while some succeed others fail. It all has to do with transmuting the sexual libido and transmuting it into higher forms of Psychic Energy where the Para Natam in the inner of the Inner Sun is made dominant and ascendant and which will allow one to reach the Inner Moon that oozes the Amutu, drinking which one attains a permanent kind of youthful vitality.
The BURNING the presence of Apara Vintu and attaining the Inner Moon and so forth is also present in Rig Veda where Yajna and Agnihotram is emphasized and Soma Juice is sought after. Throughout the ancient world, in Egypt and in India the kings were associated with the Sun and Moon as was also the case with the Sumerian kings. The genealogical notions of Suuriya Vamsam Candra Vamsam and so forth of the kings can also be seen more clearly now as their essence.
The fact is EVERYONE has already these sun and moon in the depths of their soul and that anyone who BURNS the Apara Vintu and activates the Para Natam can in fact enjoy what all these kings of the ancient world only hoped to achieve.

விந்து விளைவும் விளைவின் பயன்முற்றும்
அந்த அழிவும் அடக்கத்தில் ஆக்கமும்
நந்திய நாதமும் நாதத்தாற் பேதமும்
தந்துணர் வோர்க்குச் சயமாகும் விந்துவே
உரை:
சந்தானவிருத்தியில் தள்ளும் அபரவிந்துவின் இத்தகைய விளைவும், அந்த விளைவின் பயன் சம்சாரத்தளையில் தொடர்ந்து வீழ்த்திக்கொண்டே இருப்பது போன்ற பயன்களை முற்றும் அறிந்திருப்பதும், பிறகு அதன் அழிவும் இவ்வாறு அபரவிந்துவை அடக்கி சந்தானவிருத்தித் தொடர்பான சிந்தனைகளில் விழாது அடக்கி இருக்கும்போது ஆகின்ற ஆக்கமும், அந்த ஆக்கத்தின் காரணமாக அகத்தே எழும் பரநாதமும் அந்த பரநாத்தால் முமுக்சுவாகும் பேதமும், தனக்குத் தானே மெய்ஞான விளக்கமாக தந்துணர்வோருக்கு, சுக்கில உற்பத்தியை தடை செய்யும் விந்து சயம் மெய்யாகும்.

Vintu viLaivum viLaivin payanmuRRum
Anta azivum adakattil aakkamum
Nantiya naatamum naatattaaR peetamum
TantuNar voorkkuc cayamaakum vintuvee.
Meaning:
This is the way to cause the cessation of the production of the seminal fluid (Vintu cayam) that throws an anma into an eternal cycle of births and deaths. One must understand fully the presence of Apara Vintu and all its effects on the anma and it is this that will cause the destruction of its presence within. Now when one maintains its absence (as an active component of the psychic functioning) then there will be the transmutation of energy into great powers and which is produced by ParaNatam and which also lifts up the anma into desiring Moksa, causing the cessation of the production of seminal fluid.

விந்துவென் வீசத்தை மேவிய மூலத்து
நந்திய அங்கியினாலே நயந்தெரிந்து
அந்தமில் பானு அதிகண்ட மேலேற்றிச்
சந்திரன் சார்புறத் தண் அமுதாமே
உரை:
பிறப்பீனும் வித்தாகிய அபரவிந்து என்னும் வீசம் ஆன்மாவின் மூலத்தில் மேவி இருக்கின்றது. அந்த மூலத்தை மெய்ஞானத் தெளிவின் எட்டி, விரும்பி வளர்த்த ஞானாக்கினியாலே மேலான சுத்தநிலையை நயந்து அதனை எரித்து, யாண்டும் அகத்தே நிற்பதாகிய ஆதித்தன் வடிவ குண்டலினியை எந்த கட்டுப்பாடும் இல்லாத அதிகண்டமாகிய ஞானவெளியில் ஏற்றி ஆங்கு சந்திரன் வடிவில் நிற்கும் குண்டலினியைச் சார்ந்து நிற்க அகத்து யாண்டும் இனிய வற்றாத வீரியத்தைத் தந்துகொண்டே இருக்கும் அமுதப் புசிப்பு மெய்யாகும்.

vintuven viisattai meeviya muulattu
nantiya aGkiyaalee naynterintu
antamil paanum atikaNda meeleeRic
cantiran caarpuRat taN amutaamee
Meaning:
The SEED, the Apara Vintu is there already in some deep corners of the anma. One must access this depth with clear and faultless metaphysical understanding and BURN it with Njana Agni, the Fire of Metaphysical Illuminations with the intention of attaining a state of absolute Inner Purity. There then, one must raise the deathless Inner Sun to the Space of Boundless Expanse, and if one stands with the Inner Moon there, then one can drink the cool Amutu of eternal youthful vitality.
Comments:
As Tirumular explained earlier, there is a stage in sexuality where, while coitus is enjoyed but there is no ejaculation that comes along with passing the seminal fluid that would cause pregnancy and hence species reproduction and sustenance in the world of Samsara, the historical and phenomenal. In verse 34, Tirumular explains how one can emerge victorious over this instinctual pressure for self preservation, self-propagation and all as phenomenal expressions of the deeper desire for immortality. Here it is interesting that it is UNDERSTANDING to the full the workings of Universal Seed in the depths, the presence of Apara Vintu within, that can in fact bring about this victory. The whole approach is Hermeneutical and not at all alchemical, ritualistic and so forth. It is also interesting that he mentions that the Para Natam that comes with the control of ordinary sexuality, must be activated while enjoying enormous psychic POWER, a tremendous BURST of psychic energy. The control and conquer of the instinctual forces that bind one to the ordinary sexuality of marriage, self-reproduction through getting progeny and so forth brings about tremendous ENERGIZATION and POWER that allows rising ABOVE the normal and become a Mumuksu, one who desires nothing else but Moksa.
In verse 35 he explains further that this Para Natam as the ‘antamil paanu', the inner that never declines rises in depths of soul once we BURN that Apara Bindu that remains the SEED that creates pressures within one to perpetuate oneself in the world i.e. seek out to be IMMORTAL. When this Inner Sun is further raised up to an inner Space of Boundlessness, then there emerges the Inner Moon that oozes the amutu, drinking which one remains eternally youthful, the enRum patinaaRu, the eternally Sixteen of the ancients.
