Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

A wealthy person called Appan lived in a village near 
Srirangam. In order to surrender at Kooratthazhvan's 
divine feet, he left his village and came to Srirangam.
But, by the time he reached there, Kooratthazhvan had
attained paramapadam.

Dejected, he asked Bhattar "I did not have the
opportunity to seek shelter with Azhvan. Please tell
me something that will be beneficial to me".

Bhattar replied "The moment you took a step toward
Srirangam in order to seek Azhvan, after leaving your
village and your comfortable life there, you have done
everything you need to do for yourself. What is the 
need for me to tell you anything more?"

That is, as soon as the thought occurs that one has
to surrender to a sadAcharya, one has done everything
that is needed to be done. Everything else after that
is only for spending the remaining time in this world.
