Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Pillai Thirunaraiyur Araiyar and Thiruvazhudhi Valanadu
Dasar asked Bhattar the following.

"As the neem leaf ages, it becomes more and more bitter. 
Similarly, the soul too becomes more and more involved 
in matters of this world with time. So, how is it 
possible for them to reach the Lord?"

Bhattar replied "At the time the soul leaves the body,
the Lord will remove its attachment to the body and
to the things that it enjoys through the body. Just 
as He showed His divine beauty to Sri Malakara (as 
Lord Krishna) who seeked Him, He shows His beauty 
periodically to the chetana through the archa avatars
and slowly reduces his attachment to things of this 
world. Therefore, there is no obstacle to the chetana
to reaching Him. The pramAna for this is "na khalu 
bhAgavatA yama vishayam gacchanti" (the devotees of 
the Lord do not go to the land of Yama).
