Jai Sriman Narayana We are the children of our EmberumAnAr. We have no other 
saviour.We should be the most happy people on the earth for the Lord had graced 
us with the association of Sri Ramanuja. Whatever we are, however we are, we 
have come into the shelter of our Ramanuja. On our EmberumAnAr's 
tirunakshatram, lets say to ourselves that we know only one thing - "We belong 
to Sri Ramanuja" and pray to our Ramanuja to always keep us glued to his feet. 
Isn't this much enough for us?. Everyone knows that we are identified with our 
body, our tradition, language only as long as we are alive. What on earth makes 
us quarrel amongst ourselves then?. And that too after being under the shelter 
of Swami Ramanuja? If the quarrel is due to the ego, then where is this ego 
coming from?. Did we earn this knowledge on our own effort?. It was Swami 
Ramanuja who presented it in the easiest way to us. It was the great AchAryAs 
who followed Sri Ramanuja who protected it continuously. We just got it from 
them due to their grace and does it make any sense for us to quarrel and show 
of our ego?. Are we fit enough to do it?. And if the fight is about who is 
great and who is more learned...Understand one thing...First of all we cannot 
fathom this nature. We cannot give a good explanation for many day to day 
occurences. Then what makes us feel proud of our knowledge about the Lord?. 
Have anyone of us seen Him?. These differences will only pain our Swami. And I 
am sure, the Lord will not pardon those who talk ill of others behind them and 
bring disgrace to this sampradayam. JAI SRIMAN NARAYANA
