Dear Sri Venkatesan Swami,
I agree with what you had written.But, do the aimpulan
act independent of the Lord? From the context it is
clear that the Lord is in control and that's why
Azhwar is praying to the Lord.But, there seems to be
some Etham given to the aimpulan and because the
context is about parama pada vAsis there is a doubt as
to how the aimpulan could be so active there.
Azhwar playing the role of a baddha Jivatma is placing
this prayer. But drawing a parallel from Mukta Jivas
or Nitya sUris seems a bit difficult to handle.
Also, the other examples you gave are about the muktas
being astonished by the Lord's mercy and that they yet
don't fully understand Him.But here, the muktas are at
the receiving end and are being tormented.What is the
result of that? Because parama padam is the place for
Nitya kainkaryam, how could that be interrupted? I
fully agree that within the purview of Lord's mercy
everything is possible and we are ALWAYS dependent on
the Lord. These questions are only for a clarification
within the accepted dependency.
