SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA

APPAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM

 

 

 

Dear Bhagavatas. Accept my pranam.

 

Doubts are expressed about Nirhethuka Krubai, Moksham and action.

 

Let us analyse these points.

 

Action: Action can be done instinctively with or without knowledge or thought.

The result may be anything

 

A humorous illustration: One of my friend was wandering with men in a road ,

rather area. away from his habitat. On questioning his motive, the reply was :

Swamin, yesterday I was walking in this road .Suddenly a rickshaw passed by me

crushing the tail of a dog lying nearby, which immediately bit me as I was the

nearest target. The doctor who treated me wants the dog to be produced to verify

whether it was a mad one or not. See my fate! For no fault of mine I am running

after a stray dog besides being bitten by it.

The dog acted on its free will with out any thought. A reflex action.

Most of us act or react in similar situations.similarly

 

2. Action based on insufficient knowledge. The result will not be as desired.

 

3. Action based on complete knowledge and sufficient efforts under ideal

conditions

We can expect the results

 

 

These conditions apply to material goods and may apply to some extent to

spiritual efforts also. The parameters for MOKSHA are many. Hence, it cannot be

definitely said that results can be achieved by our actions.

 

 

 

MOKSHA; Release from Samsara once for all. The enlightened soul will not be

affected the results of his actions, be it a pleasure or pain. He will consider

both on a par and will be interested in getting away from samsara. He has no

more desire to be full filled or no more work to be carried out here. He may not

get PARAPAPADAM or Emperuman Sriman Narayanan, if he had not concentrated his

thoughts and actions on HIM. Perhaps he may get KAIVALYA MOKSHAM.

Periyazhvar,Nammazhvar , other alwaras and our Poorvacharays have explained this

point very well.

 

So, should we not do something to reach Sriman Narayanan? YES.

 

1. We are believers in a supreme GOD who only can grant Moksha.

2. Nonbelievers are free to exercise their will as they like and enjoy or endure

the results.

3. In the first place we find apart from self there are other human beings,

living things, matter and Supreme God.

4. We find that we or other human beings cannot create anything as original

which has not existed before. We cannot create ourselves also.

5. We utilize the surrounding things and human beings as available to us

6. Such utilizations can be called as discovery or invention etc.,

7. But, how did the things used by us came into existence in the world.?

8. Definitely not by our free will or effort.

9. So, the Supreme God is the creator of entire things for his pleasure.

10. Our elders say so and we can accept it.

11. Because, the Supreme God is all-powerful, etc., and no one is equal to him

or greater than him.

12. So when everything is the creation of the supreme god. it is his property

only and we are allowed to have them for some specific purpose. We are

caretakers or DHARMAKARTAS. Can a cashier in a bank think all the money handled

by him while doing his duty as his own?

13. So, the very thought I, mine is shaky.

14. While doing your duty at times, you will have to exercise some option. You

opt for based on the knowledge you have at that time. If you use the word “WILL’

it is a misnomer. There is nothing free. You have done an act as considered by

you as correct.

15. You cannot usurp the property of Emperuman as yours and think you have done

something.

16. Our actions are influenced by the reactions of our previous acts and our

gunas and our knowledge

17. We do not know our previous births . We will not know our future births.

 

When such is our condition : We cannot create ourselves or any other thing and

do not know our future. How is it possible to call our thoughts as free will and

construe the bodies as ours and the things in our control to be of ours ? A

MISCONCEPTION

 

WE ARE IN SAMSARA TO GAIN SOME EXPERIENCE because of our previous actions.

Nothing belongs to us. Our actions are influenced by the bodies we have got this

time {ie., the gunas, indriyas,and our knowledge etc.,}

 

This type of birth and death will go on forever and it is for us decide whether

we want this world or to get away from it once for all. This option also occurs

to us after a long journey in samsara and at some point we have had the

opportunity of getting God’s grace

Knowingly or unknowingly. That is grace and you have not resented to it. So,

further progress happens.
