EXPLANATION:

 

1. Death is to the form,mind and senses.The Lord is the presence

within and beyond them and is hence beyond death.

 

2. Since He is the dwelling light of pure consciousness that radiates

through the sun and is received by the mind and eyes of all beings.He

is the all-seeing one and the one who sees all.

 

3. Lion is the Symbol of valour which is the presence of the Lord in

the hearts of all and gives subjective protection.Also Lion is the

symbol of the fifth sign of zodiac.It is the sign that bestows

nobility,warmth and affection.It is the royal sign which gives the

power to rule and protect.Hence the Lord express Himself through this

form as the heart-force of humanity.

 

4. The creation is adiversity on the background of unity and the

presence of the Lord makes the fitness of everything in Him as the

background.

 

5. Every bit of the manifest creation is ajointed specimen of the

atoms,molecules,cells and the various parts of the body.The whole

universe is worked out by joining together of the various

elements,states and planes.Reconciliation is the keynote of the

various states and functions everywhere.Also in human affairs we find

that the devotees of the Lord possess sattvic nature which can

reconcile people of different mentalities.The

constructive will that contributes to elimate disagreeable traits and

maked people understand each other is the presence of the Lord as the

traits that leads us to god-realisation.

 

6.Everythings is born from the background and the birth of everything

is only manifestation of the Lord,through form.Hence the Lord is

beyond birth.

 

8. Destroying and vanquishing is only possible on the material planes

and it is concieved only on the mental plane.Since the Lord is the

background of the both,He can neither be destroyed, nor

vanquished.Hence He is beyond both.

 

9. Law pervades the form of the properties of matter and the behaviour

of mind.Hence we cannot but abide by the Law that govern the law of

the universe.The Lord charters the Law and guides the whole creation

along its lines.

 

10. Those who learn by learning the scripture becomes aware of their

existence as the existence of the spirit of the Lord.Hence the Lord is

the spirit of the knowledge of all, who want to know.

 

11. The destructive traits of anyone belongs to the diabolical nature

since they work against the creative planes of the devas.Such

diabolical natures    automatically imbibe destrictive traits of ego,

jealously etc., which cause their own destruction.Thus the Lord causes

the destructive of the enemies of the gods.
