Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

104. irA madamUttuvAraip pOlE uLLE pathikidanthu SaththaiyE

pidiththu nOkkik koNdu pOrum.

 

Meaning:

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).
