So, we should be > careful in defining the Nirhetuka krupai. Whether or not layman catches the point,it's left to God's grace. Just because a layman doesn't catch the point,it doesn't put our pUrvAcAryAs into trouble! Whether or not I like Sun rising in the east,it is not going to change its course of direction! If somebody thinks that Lord is partial,let him think so with full freedom. When the time comes he will realize that Lord is not partial. Whichever direction one goes,one will only see the board "nirhetuka krpa". BTW,do you think that by your definition of nirhetuka krpa in English,a layman will get a crystal clear picture of the topic and also pUrvAcAryAs will be intact? It is Lord's(or AcAryAs) headache to correct the jIvAtmAs that are straying away from Him. BTW,nirhetuka krpa is the top and prime doctrinal difference between the two sects. Just to make a layman's life easy(not to think that Lord is partial),you don't introduce sahetukam or make it "sound like" sahetukam in pUrvAcAryAs works! Do you understand Lord better than NammAzhvAr? NammAzhvAr says he has not done anything and one has to accept it as a fact if divya prabandham is drAvida vedam/shruthi! You write from perspective of the Lord as if you know the Lord''s mind very well. PS:In the preface of SVB book that I have,Sri TA Sampathkumaracarya says if someone(layman/neophyte) feels that some of these teachings can not be appreciated or practised,let him understand that he has not reached the "necessary state of moral development". I totally believe in this. AzhvAr emperumAnAr jIyar thiruvadigaLE sharaNam NC Nappinnai
