Swamin

Thank you for this observation. 
The reference to involuntary support that a hand
lends to a person to cling on to clothes etc
was brought in only to emphasis
that we must surrender to Lord Sriman Narayana
consciously, sub consciously and even in the absence
of consciousness.
Until then our surrender is not complete.
it is only to bring out the SOLE dependence of
HIM that such acts were mentioned.
If raising hands were sufficient then every 
commuter in the US would receive HIS grace.
Being a commuter adiyen fully appreciates that it
is not sufficient.
No offense swamin.
adiyen learning Thirupalliyeuchi and Thiruppavai
from swamin and I am writing to you on this thread
in private out of no vanity but seeking clarification
on a finer point

TCAV who posted the MMPADI series has followed up
with a very nice article along these lines.
