Dear Sri vishNu,
shEshathvam is being the state of soul being subservient to the Lord Almighty.
pArathanthriyam is a state of not just being obedient but making oneself in a
state of being used by HIm for His sake.
pAratanthriyam does not destroy shEshathvam.
A gold coin is valuable. It is good. However, cannot be used for ornaments or
cannot be worn.
On the contrary, jewels can be used.
shEshathvam is like gold coin-ingot. pArathanthriyam is like jewels.
"kattip pOl anREA paNip pon" is AchArya Hrdhya sUthram in this regard.
Hope I have conveyed the point to a certain extent.
regards
vAnamamalai padmanabhan

Dear Sriman Venkatesan,
What is SEshatvam? How does pAratantryam destroy it?
