you mention the following:
But it takes endless , , undaunted , intense effort coupled with the janmanthara merit to burn the seeds of karma in many cases
- If it were 'endless' then there would be no final resolution. I see this as one-pointedness called out in patañjali’s yogadarśana; it does have resolution.
- I see 'intense' effort usurped by grace... I take the support of the avadhūta gīta, and its very 1st śloka.
- And I take support from the bhāgavad gītā that knowledge is the greatest purifier.
- And I take the support of the śiva sutra-s that I am none other then the Supreme in a condensed form to begin with - that I can be none other then this even in ignorance.
What burns the seeds of karma is the recognition of what one's real status is, not one's efforts that only builds more impressions to get rid of.
I respect your views, but just see my views as slightly different then yours...
iti śivaṁ
यतस्त्वं शिवसमोऽसि
yatastvaṁ śivasamo'si
because you are identical with śiva
