srImathE rAmAnujAya namah
srImathE anantArya mahAguravE namah
srImathE vara vara munayE namah

Thanks for the good questions.

Please keep in mind that I translated yAdruchhcika-p-padi as it is, 
and attempted NOT to add any explanations. I translated the 
word "anusandhEyam" as "necessary to constantly reflect upon the 
meaning of ".

Here is a detailed explanation:

There is no causal connection between this anusandhEyam and the 
krupa. The grace is spontaneous, and causeless (yAdruchchika, 
nirhEthuka krupa). So, it falls on all. For those on which it falls, 
the desire for liberation occurs. For those, for whom the desire has 
been caused by the spontaneous grace, it is necessary to constantly 
reflect upon these verses.  Is it necessary to reflect to get the 
grace? - No. Is it necessary to reflect to be liberated? - the text 
in yAdruchchikappadi does not say so. Then why is it necessary? 
AchAryAs say that it is necessary for us to reflect so that we live 
a fruitful life in accordance with how a mumukshu should live.

re: who a true AchArya is, the answer that elders give is that a 
True AchArya is one who comes in the lineage of AchAryAs established 
by Ramanuja and his successors, and who passes on the sampradAym as 
taught by His AchAryA without ANY changes. This, of course is just 
one of the many traits that a true AchArya has.
