Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear Srirangapriya Ramanuja Dasan, > (1) A person who does not know Sriranganath is the Lord and hence > worships other deities and > (2) A person like me who knows Sriranganatha is Supreme, yet > continues to worship his own self, > person (2) is in a more unfortunate (worse) state of affairs than > person (1) . I don't think you are in a worse state of affairs than I am, who do not have Ramanuja sambandham!(meaning haven't undergone samaShrayaNam yet) > B)for someone like me who has Ramanujasambhandhan, serving oneself IS > even worse than the worshiping of minor devas by the non- Srivaisnavas. There can not be a better sambandham(including bhagavad sambandham!) than Ramanuja sambandham in both worlds! When KuraththAzhvAn went to have the sevai of NamperumAL,he was not allowed to enter as he was associated with Ramanuja but later through somebody's good words kuraththAzhvAn was allowed. But kuraththAzhvAn returned without seeing NamperumAL thinking that he didn't want to lose Ramanuja sambandham in favor of NamperumAL! You have that great sambandham and Ramanuja will struggle for your spiritual welfare(like He struggling to get back His objects(us))and lead you to Him. Which non-SV has this bhAgyam,tell me?
