Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear Sriman Soundararajan, Humble praNAms to you. If I follow your english(and on the assumption that my English is neither Shakespearean nor Bacon) closely, I figure out from "pAratantryam is making 'oneself' ready" that jIvAtma has independence!!! Correct me if I'm wrong/misread your post. I may think that I deserve the krpa of the Lord but the Lord may think differently. How can I act in such a way that it only gives pleasure to the Lord? Even if I give displeasure(according to my eyes) He may lick it as a pleasure(according to His eyes). In effect, my act shouldn't become a cause for Him to react(that's why His grace is called "causeless/nirhEtuka grace/mercy/krpa")! This is a very subtle point which can not be translated into any language properly except in the heart,mind and in practice. I'm an infant in my sampradAyam so please pardon all errors.
