srImathE rAmAnujAya namah

dear bhAgavathAs,

The following is an excerpt from mail sent by 
Sri TridaNdi srIman nArAyaNa rAmAnuja chinna
jIyar svAmi on another list (jetusa). He summarises
the whole religion for us so precisely and concisely.

---begin exceprt--
Jai Srimannarayana!

Attaining Mo:ksha, ie., release from the bondage 
of Karma in total and reaching a state where there 
will only be divine joy & bliss, will happen
only by the unquestionable mercy of God. He has 
His own discretion in sanctioning anything He 
likes. We need not do anything to attain that. All
that we need to know how to be a "man" in this 
world. Take Lord Sri Rama as an example. He lived 
like a real man, a Model Man, exemplifying His 
whole life. And His life says ' if you live like 
a real man, you will be worshiped here in this world 
and nether worlds, as well.

So far as worldly pleasures are concerned, you 
need to know how to enjoy them. And to what extent 
you need to enjoy them, for they are not evil
things to be experienced. Otherwise, God would 
not have allowed them to exist in this Universe at 
all. Everything in this world is good, if we
realize it's place and purpose and for whom it 
is existing. Then even poison also becomes good 
to someone at some occassion. So, don 't think 
that worldly things are bad, in general. They are 
bad to those who do not know how to deal with 
them. They are the ones, for those who is able to 
perceive the divine presence of Lord even in them, 
like Prahlada, Sri Suka Yogi and Sri Nammalwar etc.
