Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

When He has countless auspicious divine qualities, why

say that the 'aham' term shows these qualities?

 

When He is removing that which the chetana does not

want and give him what he seeks, it is omniscience

and omnipotence that are needed 1. to know where he

stood once and to know the path that he needs to take

now, and 2. knowing that, being able to complete that

task. When doing this, the fact that it is done for

Himself and not for the sake of the chetana is due to

His lordship.

 

Therefore, it is appropriate to say that the 'aham'

brings forth these qualities.
