Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:

This "turning towards Him" also happens due to His grace only and the 
jIvatma realizes that it has realized its swarUpam(wrt God) because 
of God's grace ONLY and not out of its "own will". I have the english 
trasnlation by van buitenan of EmperumAnAr's gita bhAShyam. I don't 
have the book right now but can quote the exact words(that this 
realization happens due to His grace ONLY)sometime later if one 
wants. Nowhere in divya prabandham,AzhvArs claim/declare that they 
realized their swarUpam out of their "own will" but by His will only.
