Sri:

Dear Sri Mani,

Well said! That's why one needs ot have a good writing skill.
Thanks for your clarification.

It is quite true that we need to have a loving sincere service
in perfromance is what is required. No doubt Sri Bhattar's 
statement of "It's the attitude that's important, 
not the elaborateness of the worship" is great. 

But, people like me may misconstrue this and says" BhattarE selliyirukkaar.
manasudhaan mukkiyam..(only sincerity in mind and attitude is all that is
required;
more than mere action. ) Here we take undue advantage in stretching this
most beautiful statement of Sri Bhattar's and uses to our advantage.

There is a saying in English: Hell is paved with good intentions. Mere
intention is not enough is the inner meaning of this saying. 
On the other hand, mere action alone is also not correct. 
(with no sincerity in attitude)

Just supplementing your excellent explanation.

Regards

Narayana Narayana
