The excerpt I provided from Chapter 23 of Srimad RTS provides a very direct
explanation of the role that karma plays in our Lord planting the mind set
that ultimately blossoms within us to seek out our Lord as the upaya and
upeya.  I am about to go away to India for a couple of months and therefore
I am afraid I can't participate in this discussion any further.  But I
think that is no loss to this group as there are many knowledgeable people
who would present these topics in a much more lucid way than I ever could.

Thank you.
