This reminds me of what I heard in the UpanyAsams by Sri M.A

VenkatakrishNan swAmi on Sri Vachana BhooshaNam, and Sri K.B

DevarAjan swAmi on ThiruppAvai during the Dhanur mAsam in

Parthasarathy swAmi temple. As Sampath swAmy aptly pointed out, we

should not demand that I will do only this kainkaryam or that

kainkaryam.

 

We are all supposed to be "kinkarars" . What is the duty of the

kinkarars?. They will be always ready to do whatever their Boss says.

A servant or a Kainkarya parar should be always ready, expecting the

order from PerumAL. This is what is beautifully explained as, the

kainkarya parars will be always ready saying "Kim KarOmi", "Kim

KarOmi", meaning what should we do. Hence they are called Kinkarars.

 

And it is the perumAL who orders what is to be done. This is

applicable to the Guru - Sishyan relationship also.

 

Just thought I share what I heard in the upanyAsams.
