Dear Srivaishnavas,
Nirhetuka Kripa seems to be like Grace in
Christianity. Many Srivaishnavas have difficulty in
accepting the concept, though hallowed by
Purvacharyas.If our conduct has no role in attracting
His grace, why take the trouble of observing rigid
rules of ethics in one's personal life?
Sri Parasara Bhattar says,
"Nimnottam c'a karun'am c'a jagat vic'itram
Karma vyapekshya srijatas tava Ranga s'eshin
Vaishamya nirghrinatayor na khalu prasktih
Tat Brahma Su'tra sac'iva' s'rutayor ghushanti"
[The world is strange with the high and low and
sufferings.Sri Ranganata has cereated it by looking
into Karma. There is so scope for discrimination by
Him or lack of compassion. This is the declaration by
Brahma Sutra and Vedas.]
Why should He, Karma vyapekshya [seeing Karma], when
no ground to bless or curse is needed?
Adiyen, TCASrinivasaramanujan
