Dear Sri vishNu, shEshathvam is being the state of soul being subservient to the Lord Almighty. pArathanthriyam is a state of not just being obedient but making oneself in a state of being used by HIm for His sake. pAratanthriyam does not destroy shEshathvam. A gold coin is valuable. It is good. However, cannot be used for ornaments or cannot be worn. On the contrary, jewels can be used. shEshathvam is like gold coin-ingot. pArathanthriyam is like jewels. "kattip pOl anREA paNip pon" is AchArya Hrdhya sUthram in this regard. Hope I have conveyed the point to a certain extent. regards vAnamamalai padmanabhan ----- Original Message ----- From: Vishnu To: ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 9:42 PM Subject: [ramanuja] Re: Digest Number 856 --- In ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, TCA Venkatesan <vtca@xxxx> wrote: > Sri: > Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: > > > > While sEshatvam is no doubt the true nature of the > soul, it is pAratantriyam that is given a higher > status. pAratantriyam is letting Him dictate every > thing - including the destruction of sEshatvam. > Dear Sriman Venkatesan, What is SEshatvam?
