Dear TCAV swamin/Smt. Sumithra Adiyen is going to attempt an explanation on the term "prathama prayatnam" quoted by Smt. Sumithra in a literal lay man's terms without touching any of our Vaishnava pari bashais. It can be compared to the behaviour of an #Ideal Class teacher# (A Male - analogy to our emperuman)towards his class students. When teaching to his students he does not have any bias of one student should be taught better and the other student should be deprived of the same. He unilaterally does his best to pass on the knowledge to his students without any bias. But what is the result ? Not every student gets first or scores a distinction. There will be many failures. Why? Is it the mistake of the Teacher? No it depends on how far a student has concentrated and grasped the subject from the teacher. He should have shown faith on the teacher and learned his lessons. This is what done by our emperuman in parting the rules to the jeevatmas in terms of the sastras and other scriptures and teachings of various acharyas. But while an exam is going on, a teacher cannot go and help a student to get through or get distinction in his exams. He has to silently watch. This is what exactly done by emperuman. Whoever has the supreme faith in him, learns his lessons and gets the special credit from him. Even in the case of a class, a Teacher will have a set of students who will be in his heart. This is entirely due to the behaviour of the students towards him. Similar is the case with emperuman also. Hope this clarifies partly the understanding. Again all mistakes are due to adiyen's weak understanding of the subtle concepts. so adiyen requests bhagavatas to correct adiyen appropriately whereever wrong.
