A Day in the Life of Our Acharyas - 75

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Nanjeeyar asked Bhattar once "Is prapatti a matter

of knowledge or is it a matter of action?"

 

Bhattar replied "It is a matter of the object".

 

Nanjeeyar's question was whether prapatti is the

knowledge that the Lord is the means or if it is

the act of presenting one's burden at the Lord's

feet.

 

Bhattar's reply was that neither of those is the

means and it is the Lord Himself who is the means.

That is, if the word prapatti is used in the sense

of being the means, then the Lord itself becomes

its meaning.
