SrI: NamO Narayana: Dear Sri Rajagopalan: AdiyEn feels Devarir's view is right. There has to be fear - NOT to commit Apacharam. The common terminology Bhaya Bhakti is Always used in conjunction and AdiyEn feels It could only be in this perspective. Devotion / faith comes from the fact that Sriya:Pathi is everything and we should be doing everything as HIS kaimkaryam. Moreover, the "Parathvam" of Sriya:Pathi May make one have a little fear towards Sriman Narayana. However, Sriman Narayana, our Parakaruniko Bhagavan dispels any doubt / fear in our mind by being with us; in support of us and to take care of us. Hence it is said "Parathvam kandu anjamaikku sowlabhyam". One of His Kalyana Guna, Sowlabhyam is to ensure that We Jivas have total comfort in Him. At the same time, it is also said, "Sowlabhyam kandu igazhamaikku Parathvam" It is normal, in mortals like us, to take things for Granted, when it is near us. We have been "warned" not To take HIS Sowlabhyam in anyway that may mean to Belittle Sriman Narayana. AdiyEn feels that this statement Is meant to put "some fear" into us and possibly, Bhagavatas are to have some fear, AdiyEn thinks. It is good to have "Fear" vis-à-vis in order NOT to commit Bhagavat / Bhagavata apacharam with the faith That HE is ultimate. dAsan Anand Sampathkumar 1st January 2002 Srimad Azhagia Singar Thiruvadigale Saranam Shrimate Shri Seetha Ramachandra Parabrahmane Nama: -----Original Message----- From: Rajagopalan [mailto:brgkns@xxxx] Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 12:55 To: srirangasri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SriRangaSri] Pls advice Sri Amirthavalli Nayaka Sametha Sri Yoga Nrishimaswamy Parabramhane Nama: Srimate Sri Lakshmi Nrishima Divya Padhuka sevaga Srivansatakopa Sri Narayana Yatindra Mahadesikaya Nama: Dear Bhagavatas: Last week I had an arguement with my colleague for which I believe I will get an answer from you. Pls advice me. the arguement was: My friend says that if there is faith in Sriman Narayana there should not be fear. My contention is that just because we have faith it is not that we can do any thing as we like. We should have the fear not to do any wrong things. My friend says if u have fear then the faith is just because of fear and imposed and so it is not true. Can u please advice me? If I am wrong anywhere please pardon me.
