A guru's counsel is often forgotten by disciples succumbing to weaknesses and desires, which are likened to a dangerous web. Arunagirinatha's Kandar Anubhuti prays to Lord Murugan, described as a fearsome yet joyous and fearless deity, to save him from these desires. The text emphasizes that while desires may seem harmless, they hold hidden dangers, drawing parallels to Murugan's destruction of the demon Krauncha mountain. Similar ideas are echoed by Umapathy Sivachariar and Karaikkal Ammayar, highlighting divine kindness to devotees and wrath towards adversaries.
