Harihi Om ..................."For a Sri Vaishnava, however the Fear should not be fear of punishment, as we have to do everything in his name, order, pleasure and verily render the fruits to him(Satvika Tyaagam). Thus there is absolutely no need for fear (or doubt) of consequence. The fear is out of love and realization, it is actually more of remorse and seeking his mercy like exclaiming............................." With all due respect ladies and gentlemen, I have a little difficulty in understanding the above sentence especially, ...........the fear is out of love and realization....part. A simple question was asked in a down-to-earth fashion expecting a simple answer in defense of the argument. Why do we always have to dance around a simple thing in life cloaking it in a lot of scriptural references? Isn't this tendency of glamorizing everything with esoteric details detrimental to popularizing our sampradayam to the beginners and or youngsters who might be getting interested to know it a little better? And what is wrong in taking a quotation in context from Bhagavadgita which is purported to be the word of Krishna an incarnation of the Lord Narayana Himself? Haven't all the three acharyas of the Sanatana Dharma written extensive commentaries on Bhagavadgita which is perhaps more widely read and understood than any other scriptural wing Veda, Upanishad or any other sectorial literature?
