Sri:
Adiyen like to point out one thing Swamy.
Here Athma the chethanan refers to Sentient being. The one with nyAnam. The one which can comprehend.
Not just a living being. Our Vedam is very clear.
“Yasya Athma Shareeram, yam athmanaveda,
Yasya pritvi shareeram, yam pritvinaveda”.
Like, how all Athma’s (chit) is my body, all Privti (Achit) is also my body.
Here in above verse it is further inferred:
“Sky doesn’t know existence of Earth and Earth doesn’t know the existence of Sky while You the Athman know both exists so you are bigger than both”
So it’s just not living being vs non living being but actual comparison should be Sentient vs Non Sentient.
Just to compare nails which has life and non life to put Narasimha himself as life and pillar as non life and denoting a life coming out of non life is technically an inaccuracy.
A nail is achethanam. In above explanation of that periyavar both living and non living part of nail both are achethanam. Irrespective of life. A nail doesn’t know by itself howvto grow. It follows a pattern based on vAsanA alone. (Evolution).
As Swamy Nammazhwar pAsuram goes
“Seththadhin Vayitril Siriyadhu PirandhAl”?
What comes out of achethanam is still an achethanam. A pranan alone does not determine sentience is my opinion Swamy.
One cannot say there can be life out of nothing or something which doesn’t have the source of life.
For a source of life, there has to be sentience to create meaning out of it.
A broken glass breaking into further pieces does not have a meaning.
So saying from pillar came Narasimhan is wrong.
Narasimhan decided to come out of pillar.
The difference is Chethanan is the root of all creation and not the other way round.
If error please forgive.
