Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi - 185

[Guest guest]

Sri: | Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sutra 185:

Being engrossed in His divine beauty is an obstacle to the

service. The service without the prayer of the nama: is

inferior.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

There are also other obstacles to the service. His divine

beauty is so great that it can carry away the soul's

thought and become an obstacle. The service that was

spoken of the in the fourth case before the nama: term,

could be like the service between a husband and wife

where there is pleasure for both. Therefore, even His

divine beauty is an obstacle to the chetana whose goal

is performing the true service which is meant for His

pleasure alone.
