    "Ramanuja parses 'pada' as 'reaching Bhagavan himself' while Shankara reads it as 'the immutable Brahman-ground' — is this a difference in destination or a difference in the description of the same arrival?",
    "Vallabha insists the antaryami does the prompting and the devotee is not the real agent — does this make moral effort irrelevant, or does it reframe effort as receptivity?",
    "Madhusudan resolves a genuine rule-conflict (kshatriya cannot renounce, cannot not-act) through the category of sole-refuge. When life presents genuine ethical double-binds, what does this hermeneutic move offer?",
    "The verse uses 'sada' (always) — liberation is not the reward of a completed practice but the fruit of a sustained posture. What is the phenomenological difference between doing actions toward a goal and doing them from surrender?",

You remain a distinct agent; your distinctness is the instrument of Hari's grace, not an obstacle to it. Do the work as a dependent servant, not as a wave merging into the ocean.",
    "shuddhadvaita": "Vallabha's Pushti-marga application: treat every mundane action — cooking, cleaning, professional work — as lit from within by Krishna's impulsion. The question 'did I do this well enough?' is replaced by 'was I open enough to his prompting?' Grace descends; the posture is receptivity.",

The action is unchanged; the motivational structure is inverted.",
    "advaita-bhakti": "Madhusudan's synthesis is for people caught in genuine double-binds: the professional who cannot quit an ethically imperfect role, the parent who cannot escape conflicting duties. Sole-refuge (Bhagavad-eka-sharana) is not a permission slip but a posture that transforms the binding weight of the action — the question shifts from 'how do I get out of this?' to 'how do I carry this as an offering?'"
