Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 MORAL INELIGIBILITY When one does not have eilgibilty it may be bacuse he is not eligible by birth or by qualification.When one does not practise what he preaches, then they is absolute moral ineligibility. When one observes a fellow SrevaishNavite in happy state of affairs, he should feel happy like a mother seeing her offspring's welfare.This is the litmus test of 'Bhagavath sambhandham'. 'Bhagavath sambhandham mei Agil, tham vayiTRil piRandha prajainudaiya smrithi thannadhEnRirukkumAp pOlEa iREA' However, Sri Ai jananAchAriyAr adds immediately 'Are we morally eligible to talk of this; It is like inelgibile people chanting vEdham-s' ' nAm ivvartham sollugai-paRaiyar vOthu sollumAp pOlEa-iREA' kEsu-kEsu avathArikai -ThiruppAvai 7 -nAlAyirappadi It means we, people who talk of birth as the prime factor, ignore the greatness of devotion and the devotiees. Preaching but not practising. The greatness is ThirunArAyaNapuram Ai including himself in this 'nAm ivvartham sollugiRadhu..' then imagine our state of affaris arguing for and against rituals.The greatness exactly lies in Bhagavath sambhandham and not in rituals, apparently. dasan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
