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

  Dear Sriman Venkatesan,

  What is SEshatvam? How does pAratantryam destroy it?
