adiyEn missed the following in writing the previous
mail -

The answer to above is dependent on what you want
to follow - if a person A holds the karmA/varnAshrama
dharma et all to be the highest thing, then they
will have the highest regard for anyone that follows
those things perfectly, and potentially will feel
that such a person is better than a srIvaishNava
that does not follow all the varnAshrama dharma
stipulated behaviours.
if a person B holds the view that what really matters
is devotion/service to the Lord and His people, and
do service to ALL of His people, then, s/he will
obviously hold such a person in higher regard than
someone that just performs the varnAshrama dharma
stipulated behaviours.

the varnAshram dharma/karma line is not valid
in the present context anyway - after all, how
many "brahmins" follow the stipulations that
are laid down? Then what gives us the right to
question/discriminate against others?

adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan,
Varadhan
