Subject: Re: [ramanuja] Forgiveness Dear Shri Madhusudhan, I do no know whether i
am giving the appropriate reply but your question immediately reminded me of
swAmi piLLai lOkAchAryA's srE vachaNa bhUshaNa sUthram 365 which runs as
folows
"kuRRam seidhavargaL pakkal poRaiyum, kripayum, sirippum,
vugappum, upakAra smrithiyum nadakka vEaNum"
The reactions expected of a srEvaishNavite
towards persons committing mistakes on them, is listed in this
sUthram
1. poRai--> poRumai--> patience. To
think of even taking revengeful anction should be avoided.
2. kripai-->Compaission--> Even if we
are patient, as mentioned above, the Lord Almighy may punish them.Hence, we should be compassionate towards
him.
3. sirippum--> Smile and laugh--> The
troubles created by these people will not harm our mission towards Him. It may
harm some material aspects of this world. But unlike them,srEvaishNavites will
not worry over these worldly aspects. Hence, they will be disappointed in fact
in expecting to disappoint us, in this regard, resulting in a
smile.
4. vugappum---> Affectionate towards
them--> The troubles created by them may be towards a. our body or b. towards
our worldly comforts. Both are to be shunned by us are these are hurdles towards
the path to the Lord's service. Since, these troubles only help in furthering
our missions, we should be affectionate towards them.
5. upakAra smrithiyam--. gratitude towards
them---> The troubles created by them may actually remind us of defects in
us, which will enable us to rectify the same. hence we should be grateful
towards them.
Thank you and regards
