Thank you. I was hesitating at first thinking that there may be wiser scholars
who may perhaps give a proper answer but at the same time I thought that I can
also add a little to the ocean of knowledge to the best of my ability. May be
it is the teacher in me who cannot leave a question unanswered!

Dear Dr. Saroja Ramanujam :
Thanks very much for your enjoyable response to
Sriman K.JagannAthan's question .
Although such questions are not easy to answer over
the medium of Internet mails, You have successfully
highlighted the answers to this deep question .
The central issues relating to" the Free will of the Jeevan
and the souverignity of the ParamAthmA " are beautifully
covered by U.Ve.Sri Neduntheru KaNNan Swamy of Chennai.
His monograph on the subject is an outstanding one and
is in English.
I would also like Sriman JagannAthan to acquire and read
the exquisite three volume commentaries on Srimath
Bhagavath Geethai for a clearer understanding of these difficult
concepts .
A seperate e-book in English summarizing Swamy AlavanthAr's
GeethArTa Sangraham , AchArya RaamAnujA's GeethA BhAshyam
and Swamy Desikan's Taathparya Chandrika will be released
in the Sundara Simham web site at the end of this Month:

Thank you again for being an excellent source for responding to
Member's questions with PramANams .
NamO NaarAyaNAya ,
V.Sadagopan

Subject: Re: [Oppiliappan] Sense of agency in Bh G 18.66
In Visishtadvata the Lord is the inner self of all and the jiva is in
relation to Him as a body to the soul.So the true agent is Him and not the
jiva. The actions of jiva cause agencyship to the jiva only when they are
desire motivated. A devotee acts as an instrument of God in the spirit of
Kaayena vaachaa mansendhriyairvaa buddhyaatmanaavaa prkrthersvabhaavaat
karomi yatyat sakalam parasmai naaraayanaayethi samarpayami.Jiva is the
sesha, dependent and belongs to the Lord, who is the seshi.and the aadhaara
and niyanthaa, the support and the controller. Sence of agency to jiva is
not an illusion but due to wrong identification with body mind and intellect
which are guided by ragadvesha.
