SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAH' APPAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM DEAR BAGAHAVATHAS,Accept my pranams. The second portion of the last posting is continued here.
"' If he realises "Artha Panchakam " and practises he become eligible for Moksham.'.
True. But, that is not that much easy as it is said. First, the knowledge about Self (AAthama swaroopam), second Knowledge about Emperuman (Para Swaroopam ) and the relation between the two and the Goal (Upeyam ), What is the difficulty in attaining it ( Virodhi swaroopam) and the means to attain the goal ( upayam). To explain these terms it will take much time and space. To make it short, Adiyen will explain as to why jeevathmas are still toiling in 'Samsara'.
Sri.Krishna Bhagavan explains in Bhagavat Geeta, Chapter 7, that his "MAYA' IS VERY DIFFICULT one to be ridden off by the mankind who are made up of three Gunas, ie., Sattva, Rajas and tamas. Those who submit themselves to him only can do with HIS help. There are people who are foolish, and wicked ones . They do not submit themselves to the Lord.
Four type of people submit themselves to him. They are 1) Who want material welfare 2) those who want to regain the lost wealth ( these two types of people are known as 'Isvaryarthis' 3) Ginhjasu..(who wants to know him). and 4) Gnani (Who is after HIM always and is not worried about material wealth). ' Isvaryarthis' are interested only to get worldly pleasures and are apt to forget him thereafter. The third type Ginjasu, is after knowledge only. But, the last type, Gnani is a true Bhakta and is very dear to HIM. How many such people will be there ? For this point also sri. Krishna gives the information in the same chapter. verse.3.
Among the Adhikaris who follow Sastras one in thousand try to understand HIM. ( Here Thousand does not represent numerical value. it means many....many ) Among such people nobody understands him truely (TATvathaha:) That means the number of people who have reached the stage of getting out of samsara are very rare. All are trying to understand him and are in various stages of progress.
Now it can be seen Why jeevans are born again and again in the world. The 'GOAL' ;ie., Upeyam.. is to attain HIM. For that various sastras are there. Certain type of people alone can undergo or practise such ones. And that too under very strict various difficult conditions. Any mistake can spoil your effort. Even after such hazardous process it is not certain or no guarantee that you will attain him. Alternatively there is another course. All can practise it. HAVE FAITH IN HIM . DO ALWAYS GOOD. WHATEVER YOU DO, THINK THAT IT IS LORD'S wish and you are only an instrument. If you are after HIM, do not desire for the results of the actions ( the expectations of results will bind you to Samsara.) Submit yourself to a qualified Acharya who will guide you properly. HAVE ABSOLUTE FAITH IN HIM AND ACHARYA.
Adiyen hopes that the doubt of Sri. Varadharajan would have been cleared.
We can consider the topics ' free will and Nirhethukakrubai in the next posting.

Dear Bhagavatas,Adieyen has a basic doubt in the treatment of Jeevathma after his encounters in Sorgam and Naragam. As per my understanding, a jeevathma goes to Sorgam and enjoys the comforts there in direct proportion to the "Punniyams" in his credit. Similarly he suffers in Naragam which is also in direct proportion to the "Pavams" in his credit. Once this treatment is over, he has a zero balance of "punniams" and "pavams" and he becomes eligible for moksham, if he realises and practices the "Artha Panchakam". But my doubt is where comes the re-birth of jeevathama again in this "leela vibudhi" as he now has a zero balance of "Punniyams" and "Pavams" (They have been spent or compensated in Sorgam or Naragam). Is it an oppurtunity provided by the emperuman to realise HIM and MOKSHAM.I request the learned members of this group to clarify the same.Adiyen, Varadarajan Ramanuja Dasan. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
