Sri: | Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sutra 240:

But should not the chetana be having gratitude for what he is getting? Then can

that not be considered as part of the means?

 

No, it cannot. As Azhvar says "ennaith thee manam keduththAy" and "maruvith

thozhum manamE thanthAy", this feeling of gratitude that he has comes due to his

knowledge. This cannot be taken as "the Lord will do His act only if this

gratitude is shown"

- therefore it cannot be taken as being part of the means.

 

Thus, the meanings of the "eka" have been shown.
