Sarira Sariri
------------------
Sarira Sariri bhava means, per Sri Ramanuja, all the setinent  (Chit) and
Insentient (Achit) are the body of Bahaman .
Hence all the Jeevas right from Brahma up to an Ant, are the Sariram of Lord. 
This includes matter, prakriti .

Hence it is OK to consider 'Aham Brhamasmi'  from that Paradigm.
This is how elders view many passages in Vedas that eulogize  Devas such as 
Indra, Varuna and Rudra.

Even the great  Advaitia Scholar and  commentator of  Sruti Vakhyams, Sri 
Vidyarananya held this view.

I once heard (forgotten the source, apologies) that Even Sankara has similar 
comments in his Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Bhasya.

Sesha/Seshi 
------------------
The Lord is also the sustainer and 'Lord' (Easwara) of these all chit and achit 
things, from this viewpoint, all the Jeevas need to be subservient to Him. By 
virtue of his Kalyana Gunas (attributes), he is distinct and above all these 
devas.
