SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaisnavas, Now Alavandhaar prays for anishta nivrtthi [removals of hurdles] nadhEham na praNaan na cha sukham sEshAbilakshitham nachaathmaanam naanyath kimapi thava sEshathva vibhavaath bahirbhootham nATha! kshaNamapi sahE yaathu sathadhaa vinaacham thath sathyam madhumadhana vignApanamidham [57] Oh Master! Lord! The One who killed Madhu asurA! SarvaswAmI! Not even for a fraction of a second, can I bear, endure and withstand this body of mine if it is not being for serving You; not my life force [praaNaas]; nor even the enjoyment of happiness desired and sought after by everyone [if it is meant for NOT serving You]; not even my self [athmA] if it is meant to be for outside the purview of being servant of Yours; nor anything else that is outside the requirements for serving You; if such unbearability of a case arises, let it be immediately be broken to and crushed to hundreds of pieces. This request and prayer of mine is entirely Truth and nothing but Truth. dhEham; praaNan- [body, life force] give rise to suffering ultimately and hence some may not want it and dislike them; whereas everyone likes enjoyment and delight. Everyone seeks his respective pleasures. Even such a pleasure- I would not like to have it for myself; it is meant to be for your pleasures. Then only do I seek for the same- says Alavandhaar. Naanyath kimapi- even the sense organs, children, friends- if they all seek for something outside of service for You, then I do not need them and do not want them. Thus all chith and achit (sentient and non-sentient) associated with jeevan should serve Him and if they are meant for serving Him, then it is not virOdham; else it is virOdham. The same context is mentioned by Sri SatakOpar (nammAzhwAr) : in Thiruvaymozhi 4.8- yERaaLum iRaiyOn? maaRaaLan kavaraadha maNimaamai kuRaivilamE madanenjaal kuRaivilamE niRaiyinaal kuRaivilamE thaLirniRatthaal kuRaivilamE aRivinaal kuRaivilamE kiLaroLiyaaR kuRaiyilamE udambinaaR kuRaiyilamE uyirinaaR kuRaiyilamE all these can be related to this verse. If they are not meant for His service, not only should one hate himself; but also all his assicoations and any other person /object which is against his serving Him. Bhagavath sEshathvam is thus essential and imminent for AthmA. Else- it would be similar to murdering the nature of his swaroopam. The Adhaarathvam [support], the niyanthruthvam [controller] and sEshithvam [being Master] is Para tatvam. 1. Adheyatva (i.e. Being supported by Sariri): Existence of the Sarira(body) is due to the Sariri i.e. Sariri supports the Sarira. In other words, if Sariri ceases to exist, Sarira also ceases to exist. 2. Niyamyatva (i.e. Being controlled by Sariri): Not only that Sarira derives its existence from a Sariri, it is also being controlled by the Sariri. So, Sarira acts as per the will/desires of Sariri. 3. Seshatva(i.e. Existing for the pleasure of Sariri): Not only that Sarira is supported and controlled by Sariri, it exists only for the pleasure of Sariri, i.e. Sariri is Sarira's Seshi and the Sarira is Sariri?s Sesha. It is to be noted that the "Sariri" needn't be physically present inside a "Sarira". This is not a condition to be met out for the Sarira-Sariri bhava to hold good. Also, it will imply that Sarira and Sariri are apruthaksiddha i.e. inseparable, similar to how the white colour, a characteristic, is inseparable from its cloth, the Substance. Thus Sriman Narayana supports and controls all jivatmas, and all the jivatmas exist purely for His enjoyment. Thus, the very essential nature (svaroopam) of a jivatma is to perform kainkaryam to Sriman narayana for His pleasure and performance of any other activity doesn't conform to its nature Adhaaram, niyanthruthvam ? are all leading to Himself being the Master and hence sEshathvam of jeevan forever to the Lord is primary.
