Srimath varavara munaye namaha
With swamy pillai lokacharya’s nirhetuka krupa, let me explain what i’ve understood
Swamy, There is a difference between kitten and cat. Kittens cannot and will not run away. Only cats can run away.
What is the need for a kitten to run away when the cat provides a sophisticated life for it ?
If a kitten can run, then it became a matured cat.
👉 In general :
1) Kitten = Dependable
2) Cat = Independable
1) Kitten = Cannot do on its own
2) Cat = Can do its work by its own
👉 In terms of sampradaya :
1) Kitten = Depended on bhagavan for moksha
2) Cat = Can go to moksha by its sadhana ( Bhakti, gyanam, tapas etc.., )
1) Kitten = Cannot do bhakti, gyana, karma yoga as it don’t have that much strength
2) Cat = Have strength to do karma, gyana, bhakti yoga.
Lord krishna says in bhagavath gita that he approaches a bhakta by the way how the bhakta approaches him.
If one approaches krishna as a friend similarly krishna approaches him as a best friend.
Similarly, if we approach lord as a kitten, he will approach as cat and take care of ourself.
If we have garva like a cat, he don’t have any responsibility to take care our soul.
