bhOgyAmrutam - viShNuhu (Continued)

1) O Highest Lord not known to Brahma & Rudra :

Both Lord Shiva and Brahma are like the red and the green

flags in your hands, for carrying out the destruction and

creation respectively (stopping & starting of the train).

Both Brahma and Rudra know only as much about you as the

flags know about the guard who uses them.

 

2) You have become all the worlds : You have taken every

possible form and are existing everywhere, just to take us

to our home (your divine abode).

 

It is like you have become the train, which takes us to our

destination, its driver, its guard, the track and the land

below it. Out of extreme love towards us, you have taken

innumerable forms and have spread yourself everywhere in

the urge to take us all at once to our destination. Whom

else, can I call by the name ViShNu then?.

 

Such a small and a sweet name describing such a supreme

Lord encompassing everything...!!

 

3) O source told by the praNavam : Let us see, what the

Lord keeps feeling about the meaning of Om :

 

praNavam (Om) = a + u + m

a = The protector; u = only for; m = jIvAtmAs (we souls)

 

The Lord always feels that "I exist only for protecting

all the souls". He continuously strives for our upliftment

and has made Himself available everywhere in the entire

universe, just for the sake of protecting us. Like a true

mother who doesn't expect anything from its child, He

continously protects us and expects nothing in return.

 

How nice it would be, if all of us realize his Love for

us and the extreme strain He keeps taking for us?. Even

though, we never feel that, "We exist for Him", He

continuously feels that - "He exists only for us". All

His divine qualities, His great wealths, everything He

has only for us. Thus, He takes the meaning of Om (

"I exist only for the jIvAtmAs" ) and has become viShNu

and thus praNavam became the reason for Him becoming viShNu.
