Swamin, thanks much for sharing the refreshing words of the great Swami Pillailokacharyar. Wouldn't dream of speaking against Him. 🙏
Only meant to point out how far we've gone away (IMHO) from the main goal of a Jivathma while dealing with the mischief of vested interests.
1
In the loud din made by deliberate screams like "Can all become Archakars?" or "Can women become Acharyas?", I feel we've kept ourselves too busy in listening to this pointless noise & in trying to "prove" that our Dharma is "inclusive", "open-minded" & what not.
2
In the process, the very purpose of our Janma (Moksham) and the very objective of our Jivathma (Nithya Kainkaryam for Bhagawan and His Adiyaars) lay forgotten.
The truth is these are always open to all Jivathmas regardless of the Varna or any other attribute one can think of.

Swami Ramanujacharya & Swami Pillailokacharyar taught us to respect all Jivathmas based on the gnanam, kainkarya manobhavam and other such beautiful parameters.
They showed us examples from our own Ithihasas & Puranas. They didn't do any "activism" is what I mean to say.
4
They taught us that the natural state of the Jivathma is daasathvam towards Emperumaan & His Adiyaars.
Any janma that enables the daasathvam manifest as kainkaryam is beautiful. Once this happens, Varna, Ashrama, etc. are just trivia.

According to Sri Pillai Lokacharya, he classifies the society based on birth in 2 types; 1.uthkrushtamaaga bramiththa jananam, i.e. 'misunderstood to be high birth", 2.apakrushtamaaga bramiththa jananam, i.e. 'misunderstood to be low birth'.

I understand the disappointment when our sects fight in full public view and the embarrassment thereof.
However, my concern is different, TBH.
Am even okay with all our infighting.
My problem is when we don't set those differences aside & join hands to face a common foe.

This maturity is not new to us - it has already been explained in the Mahabharatha!!
Yudhishtira tells his brothers to fight the Gandharvas & defend their cousins (Kaurava). This was *after* the game of dice, mark you.
2/n
When Bheema protested, Yudhishtira explains: "Between us & the Kauravas, we are 5, they are a hundred. In front of outsiders, however, we're a 105."
Sanathana Dharma has been there for time immemorial. It's natural that we have sects, unresolved disagreements, etc..

Abrahamics have sects for just a 2000-year existence. And they too bicker among themselves!!!
So, the real issue, IMHO, is forgetting to gather under our common identity.
4/n
If we try to silence voices or concerns of our internal sects for the sake of common unity, some people of the section that feels unheard may even shake hands with the very foe we're trying to vanquish. This is one of my greatest concerns.

This is the problem with us. After all we fight among ourselves for Thengalai or Vadagalai Thiruman for temple elephants. https://t.co/kLvdZl25Ea
