Dear Bhagavathas, Adiyen has got some doubt in understasnding the meanings of achethanam and jadam , the difference between chethanam and acethanam, between achethanam and jadam. I understand that chethanam is jeevathma, that which has got an intellect. Achethanam has got no intellect. My doubt is whether chethanam means that which has got a life and achethanam has no life. If so, lower forms of life like worms, germs, viruses, trees etc which have got life but no intellect--Are these to be classified as achethanam or chethanam.? Secondly stones, lump of mud, pot etc are achethanams or jada. But in the Vishnuputanam, in the story of moksham of Dadhipandan, we find the pot was given moksham. If so, can achethanam also get moksham? Or is it to be taken as poetic fallacy? With regards,Adiyen, Rajagopalan. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
