Dear Sri Venaktesh : The following passages from your posting are very insightful.Thanks very much for sharing them. V.Sadagopan > >Periyavacchaan pillai mentions that an acharya should be the one > who has no interest in artha and kAma but yet lives > within the world and follows the dharma, artha, > kAma (lokaparigraha) [and hence practices dharma, artha > and kAma] > - maanikka maalai > > He further explains prapatti as "giving up one, and catching hold of >another" So, in order to perform prapatti, one has to give up their own >effort and catch hold of Narayana. This does not mean that you stop >doing what you do. instead all it means is you perform the regular >duties, free of any worry or apprehension that you will not be saved.
