Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear Sriman TCA Venkatesan,
You have misunderstood my standpoint. So, let me make it
clear(atleast from my side).

My response was to Sriman Krishnaswamy's(with rajan_s id) post
wrt "paratantram is making oneself ready so as to deserve His
krpa...". I didn't pose a question wrt sEshatvam and pAratantryam in
the first place. I only asked wrt "making oneself ready". This
addresses the issue of sahEtukam/nirhEtukam and
freewill!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here ends my question.
I am neither good in thamizh nor english but Smt Jayasree
Saranathan's post says,"It is He who gives buddhi to those whom He
wants to lift...". Sri piLLai lOkAcAryAr makes it very clear
that "pApa and puNya are weighed in His eyes and not ours". I don't
know(What I heard could be wrong or may not be authentic!!!)but
duryOdhana tells srIkrshNa that "you're the one who instigates me to
do such acts...". Those who are experts in mahAbhAratam can correct
me.
You mentioned in one of your post that sEshatvam gets destroyed
(please generously forgive me if I misunderstood your writings). But
it is not so. One devotee's reply confirmed that which coincided
with Sri Sridhar Srinivasan's post as sEshatvam is the essential
attribute of the soul. He also said that "that's why Sri
KuraththAzhvAn was sent to Sri ThirukkOtiyUr nambi for
verification". SEshatvam is always there in the background. This
topic is so subtle that no matter how many mails we exchange we
would further introduce non-clarity. So, I am going to stop with
this as I am having personal interactions with Sri Chinna Jeeyar
swamiji and some devotees along these lines. If I added some more
confusion thro' this post or misread your post, pardon me.
