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.
