dear devotees,

 

i looked up the vyAkhyAnams for some places where

the word "padaiththal" occurs in the divya

prabhandham..as many people have written, all the

commentators take the word to mean "shristi" only..

not "creation".....i had the wrong interpretation

earlier...

 

if that is the case, then the *why* re: srishti is

simple.. the souls are bound by karma, and hence He

provides them with faculties to know about Him and

reach Him.

 

I personally find it difficult to digest the lack of

power of "Creation" of the Lord though..

 

adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan,

varadhan
