Dear Shrimati Nappinnai, >From your previous posts: If the TV is not working, you said you would repair it out of your Nirhetuka Krupai. We will replace you with Paramatma, and TV with Jeevatma at the end of the post. I have a very simple question here. If the TV does not work, who is the loser? You are the loser. You lose the happiness because you cannot enjoy the TV anymore. And hence you are selfish enough to repair the TV, for "your" happiness. Where is the question of your nirhetuka krupai? Nirhetuka Krupai can be appreciated only when there is an expectation on one side and the krupai is showered from the other side. If you show nirhetuka krupai to a TV that does not understand it, it does not make any sense. Now let us go for replacing you and TV with Paramatma and Jeevatma. If Jeevatma does not make the paramatma happy, and if Paramatma showers the nirhetuka krupai on Jeevatma, why would the paramatma do that? For its own happiness and not for the jeevatma's happiness. So, it is pretty much a self centric act. Why would it be called as krupai then? It is a selfish act. So, is this what we are getting at? Akilaheya prathyanikanana parabrahmam now suddenly becomes an all powerful entity that forces its way on the jeevatma to attain happiness and could pretty much do whatever it wants with the jeevatma and despite all this act, still be hailed as the one who showers the Nirhetuka Krupa and we are quoting all our Acharya granthas in support of this? Aren't we missing something here? If one does not realize the value of Nirhetuka Krupa, what is the point in the paramatma showering it to him? It is as good as doing bad to him isn't it? It is like giving sweet to someone which is usually good. But, if the person is diabetic and if you still give sweet to him? Again, this is a very trivial example that I don't expect to equate to the Nirhetuka Krupa. It is just a "similar" phenomenon. Kindly clarify. Adiyen, Ramanuja Dasan
