Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan.

The word "kaivalyam" is derived from the word
"kevalam" - only.kaivalyam also gives one a certain
degree of bliss since one can enjoy nirguna Brahman
i.e. pure conciousness without the limitations of the 
"dehatma budhi" bondage. It is very easy to fall into
this pitfall or trap as it is pleasant and can be
cultivated by meditation. It is for this 
reason that our poorvacharyas warned us against it.
The antidote to this temptation is to imbibe the sense

of "seshathvam" by contemplating on the soothras of
the great ulagariyar- svb.By doing this one develops 
the constant sense of being His seshi or slave. The
word 
seshi means property but a more appropriate
translation would be the word "slave".

Trust this humble understanding of mine is useful to
the group members.

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan

A.K. Devarajan
