Dear Sri Vishnu,

I was quoting Nappinnai's note on doing things for
His pleasure (or displeasure as she mentioned :-))
and wondering how it fit into her line of questioning
on the 'action' of the jIvatma.

Nevertheless, to your answer your question, it is
my understanding that a true sEsha bhUta has to do 
everything for His pleasure - including the giving 
up of the sEsha bhAvam is He desires it. If mere 
existence is all that is required, then how do you 
stop actions such as killing, destructing a temple,
etc. Surely, you'd agree that such actions are not 
meant for His pleasure and as such are to be 
avoided.

If that is the case, then does the jIva have
independence in action? Please see Smt Jayasree
Saranathan's excellent post recently on this.
