RE: a small clarification

From the Bhakti List Archives

Madhavakkannan, Vasudevan • October 25, 1999 


Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namah:

The first one gets a better birth (may be in a devoted ardent srivaishnva
family)
The second one gets mOksham (because he fits into adiyEn's category.) Short
duration is for everyone. Because for time immemorial, we have been
committing sins, and that is why we are what we are still drowning here. It
is His grace for any stroke of luck for bhakti or any inclination towards
Sriya: Pathi

Regards

Narayana Narayana
