This is my opinion about Shri Sheshadri Ranganathan's query:
I feel a mumukshu whether or not he has committed sins must understand the
Tatvam, Hitam and PurushArtham from an acharyan. Any passing knowledge of
these
three will certainly be advantageous to his welfare(which, by the way is
because of the
grace of the Lord), but a clear understanding of these from an acharyan is
extremely
important. An Acharyan is our only recourse. It is very essential that we
have to
understand the tatvam, hitam and purushartam in the correct perspective, all
the more,
it being our duty.
After knowing them, we must surrender all our faculties to the Supreme
Personal God. By
faculties, I mean, ones own nature. It is very hard to conceptualize
surrendering ones own
nature (Swarupa thyAgam).
Last but not the least, moksham is the anugraha sankalpam of the Supreme and
HIS
anugraha and nigraha sankalpams are unquestionable.
Please pardon me for my agyAnam and vipareetagyAnam.
Adiyen,
Keshavan Kadambi.
