Nirhetuka/Sahetuka Krupai

[Guest guest]

Dear Srimathi Vaidhehi

 

I refer to the following passage in your recent mail dated 10 Oct 2004.

"My response was to Sriman Krishnaswamy's(with rajan_s id) post

wrt "paratantram is making oneself ready so as to deserve His

krpa...". I didn't pose a question wrt sEshatvam and pAratantryam in

the first place. I only asked wrt "making oneself ready". This

addresses the issue of sahEtukam/nirhEtukam and

freewill!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here ends my question."

 

 

I really understood your question and hence replied as follows:

 

You have raised important questions of Sahetuka krupai and Nirhetuka krupai of

the Lord. It will merit a serious discussion from the learned disciples of the

Sampradayam.It is one of the doctrinairre differences between vadagalai and

thengalai sampradayams.

Ofcourse the differnces are only 'varthabetham' and not 'yojanabhedham'.

 

I think that your quote from Smt Jayasree Saranathan's post ,"It is He who

gives buddhi to those whom He

wants to lift...".

recociles both the view points.

 

 

I did not go deep as I was unable to quote extensively from Acharyas'

srisukthis.

 

I was expecting that the learned group will be writing on this topic.

 

It is said that when chetanan takes a step towards Sriman Narayana, the Lord

takes hundred steps towards the devotee.It is due to his sausilya and saulabhya

gunas.An enlightened soul gets redeemed after many cycle of births and deaths

after undergoing the strenuous path of Gyanam and Bhakthi. Prapathi is also not

that easy .This has to go along with its five constituents .

 

All these may look sahetukam.

SponsorIn one of the earlier mails, it has been mentioned that

paratantriyam is not beining like 'achit'.

Bhagavat Ramanuja prays to the Lord in his Sharanagathi Gadyaam that he be

endowed with parabhakthi,paragnanam and paramabhakti which entails the grace of

the Lord.

 

He prays to the Lord in his mangala sloka of Sribhashyam that his knowledge take

the form of Bhakti .

 

It has been said In the commemtaries to Divya Prabhantam that the Lord has given

the vedas and Upanishads and then Bhagavat Gita so that people can follow

them.When He saw that only a few understood them and followed,He has sent

Azhwars and Acharyas so that people can easily emulate them being of their own

kind.

It is incumbent therefore that the prapannas follow the teaching of Purvacharyas

which pleses the Lord.

The Lord emphasises the importance of everyone performing his duties when he

says "Karmanyeva adhikaraste, ma paleshu kathachana' .

 

Any inadequacies in my language be excused.
