Dear all >From whatever little I have heard... Is there anything that we can really do which will (forget about equating but even) go near what the lord grants( Moksha). So irrespective of what we think, it is his nirhEthuka Krupa. Just because someone did Bakthi yoga for 1000 lives or other tasks etc It never comes anywhere near the ultimate gift. It is only our level of maturity of wanting him that the lord is looking at. For this , our acharyas say that it is like playing with a small child. We can forcefully play with the child. But when the child comes to us out of his/her own volition , the enjoyment is infinitely better. This is only reason lord waits rather than forcefully take us in. For Sisupala's case also I have heard from learned scholars that just at that second when the his head is about to be cut off he "really" sees the beauty and form of lord and wants it absolutely. Though the time is short the intensity of his desire is very high and so he is granted moksham. (Refer to Chintayanthi in Bhagavatham).
