Sri:

Respected Sri Thirunararyanan Swami,

While going through your mail, I had some difficulties in understanding some 
points:


" On the other hand if you do your duty with the 3 types of 
renounciation
I am not the doer of this action...It is Lord;s
I do not aspire for the result of this action. ..It is Lord's
I do do not have attachment with this action.
Then it is for the Lord to worry about our progress"

Does that mean one can perform even sinful actions, and assume that lord is the 
doer of that action?? What exactly does "duty" mean, then?? Are we to assume 
that every action that we do (be it good actions or sinful reactions) is done 
by the Lord Himself?? Then, won't it be an excuse for sinners to do whatever 
they want to do??

" So, it is for jeeva to exercishis choice or as you say 'free will' 
in the right direction. He will certainly do so, if he( Atma) has 
got the Atma Gnam correctly."

Swamin, so by the preceding statements and also the above statement, does your 
kind self agree that the Atma does have freewill??

" Regarding NIRHETHUKA KRUPAI. Did Arjuna ask for a lecture on Bhavad Gita?
Why he was selected by the Lord? All the Pandavas surrendered to 
Krishna for the sake kingdom. But, Arjuna was a little more 
attached to Krishna and the Lord krishna decided
to select Arjuna That is Lord's will He gave lectures on BG .to 
Arjuna and we also enjoy."

If Arjuna, even after listening to the truth from none other than God himself 
is still lamenting for the loss of his son, does that mean that Perumal had not 
completely showered his Nirhetuka Kripai on Arjuna?? Meaning, how can any 
Mumukshu (or even an ordinary soul), even after getting Perumaal's Nirhetuka 
Kripai, still lament for material losses??

Did Arjuna finally COMPLETELY surrender to the Lord (Prapatti)?? If so, why did 
he lament for his son's death?? One can assume that the state of Prapatti is 
not perfect, am I correct?? On the other hand, if Arjuna did not surrender 
completely, what is the use of Perumaal's Nirhetuka Kripa on Arjuna, and can 
there be "partial Krupa"??

I request you to kindly address my queries. Kindly pardon me for any offences 
committed by adiyen or observed by your kind self. 

AzhwAr emperumAnAr Jeeyar thiruvadigLE Saranam.

Dasan,

Kidambi Soundararajan.
