Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi - 104

[Guest guest]

Sri: | Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sutra 104:

Just as parents follow their children, who angered with them have left the home,

to the place where they are staying and feed them without their knowledge, He

too will stay out of sight, inside the chetana (as antaryAmi) and continue to

protect them.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

When we ignore Him and are devoted to others, why would He stay concerned with

us?

 

Take the case of some children as an example. Angered with their parents, they

would leave their home and roam around without food. Their parents would not let

it go at that. They would follow their children around without their knowledge

and in the night times hide in the mutts where they stay and provide food for

them through others. Similarly, He too would stay as antaryAmi inside the

chEtanas that claim independence and run away from Him, and continue to protect

them.

 

Thus, the meaning of the nArAyaNa term has been explained as Him who is the

receiver of service (from the chetanas).
