re: creation

srImathE rAmAnujAya namah

dear devotees,

i looked up the vyAkhyAnams for some places where
the word "padaiththal" occurs in the divya
prabhandham..as many people have written, all the
commentators take the word to mean "shristi" only..
not "creation".....i had the wrong interpretation
earlier...

if that is the case, then the *why* re: srishti is 
simple..  the souls are bound by karma, and hence He 
provides them with faculties to know about Him and
reach Him.

I personally find it difficult to digest the lack of
power of "Creation" of the Lord though..

adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan,
varadhan
