felt doomed. Why? He felt that Lord had mounted independence on him.

Respected Swami,

We are learining from your beautiful explanations.

SEshatvam is explained in stOtra ratna. AchArya says:
SarIra bhEdai: tava SEshatAm gatai: which means AdiSEsha is for Him 
in differen forms like cot, pillow etc. So the statement "aham sarvam 
karishyAmi" has to be understood from this perspective, which means 
blemishless service as ordained by Him. Also lakshmaNa is younger 
brother who has to serve the elder one as per his order, in our Vedic 
culture. Kindly correct me if I am wrong. 

Dasan
Vishnu
