Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Dear Sukumar, If we consider that Lord has to take credit of all the good deeds of the souls -as you infer from antharyAmithvam-then the problem of debiting HIm for the bad deeds also occur. As far as I understand the Lord is antharyAmi but the kArmic effects of the soul-good or bad deeds does not affect Him. thiru-voi-mozhi, in the third ten which emphasises on omnipresence " yAvaiyum yavarum thAnAi avaravar samayam dhOrum, thOivu ilan ...." 3-4-10 Though the Lord is present in the innermost of the souls, He is not affected by their good and bad deeds. Hence, I dont think we can give credit to the Lord for sri rAmAnujA's good compassion as the LOrd is in the innermost of the soul. vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Sri Gurubyo Namah Harihi Om! Sri Krishnaya Namah! I am only against the word - compassionless attached to the Lord, who creates & sustains this world. For us acharyas like Sri Ramanuja are more important as they show us the path to reach Him. But this act of theirs do not wee bit diminishes His compassion. I don't think thiru-voi-mozhi mentions this. If we consider that Lord has to take credit of all the good deeds of the souls -as you infer from antharyAmithvam-then the problem of debiting HIm for the bad deeds also occur. I totally agree to this, but what I mean is that we should not bring in the feeling of 'I' whenever something good is done by us and thus thwarting the feeling of ego by dedicating the same to Lord - as the reason behind the same. As a follower of Sri Ramanuja I think you will agree to this. Bhagavathas do not take credit for their good deeds and they deem it that it is His nirhetuka krupa. I am saying all this because you are generalising your sentence above. Though the Lord is present in the innermost of the souls, He is not affected by their good and bad deeds. I am in complete agreement to this. Hence, I dont think we can give credit to the Lord for sri rAmAnujA's good compassion as the LOrd is in the innermost of the soul. Lord is compassionate towards us and hence He let Sri Ramanuja incarnate and be among us. Is this act in any way wee bit lesser than Sri Ramanuja's. Pls. ponder... Sri Ramanuja will surely say - it's all His will. While to list down or think about the volume of the compassion of Ramanuja is very difficult, to list the compassion of the Lord is impossible(except great acharyas like Sri Ramanuja), as He is the Lord of not just our solar system but many galaxies.
