As Sampath swAmy aptly pointed out, we should not demand that I will do only this kainkaryam or that kainkaryam. We are all supposed to be "kinkarars" . What is the duty of the kinkarars?. They will be always ready to do whatever their Boss says. A servant or a Kainkarya parar should be always ready, expecting the order from PerumAL. This is what is beautifully explained as, the kainkarya parars will be always ready saying "Kim KarOmi", "Kim KarOmi", meaning what should we do. Hence they are called Kinkarars. And it is the perumAL who orders what is to be done. This is applicable to the Guru - Sishyan relationship also. Just thought I share what I heard in the upanyAsams. adiyEn RAmAnuja dAsan, Thirumalai Vinjamoor Venkatesh Regards T.V.Venkatesh E-mail : TVV@SANMARGROUP.COM Phone: 91-44-4960455 extn. 5218 Fax : 91-44-4960913 Visit : http://www.sanmargroup.com ***** Message Was Scanned For Viruses *****
