nitya-kainkarya & jIva's kartRtva

From the Bhakti List Archives

• September 9, 2002


SrImate rAmAnujAya nama:

Just shooting from the hip - 

jIva-s' ability to act is real, though it derives from 
and is subservient to the brahman.
SrI rAmAnjua describes it as 'tad-aayatta-kartRtva'
in gItA-bhAshya.

If the jIva had no ability to act, the doctrine of 
devotional service (ie nitya-kainkarya) would make no sense.
