MEANING :

the ocean of maya, guides them as their own star, as the valorous one and the

valour in himself. He is the favourable  trend of everyone and leads all

towards him self with a hundred whirls attracting them towards himself He has

the lotus sprouting  from His navel  and His eyes, resemble the petals of the

lotus.

 

Explanation :

 

1. Sorrow is one of the aberrations of mind .The Lord is the background beyond

and hence sorrow cannot touch him and those who live in Him.

 

1. 3  . As  the guiding star, the Lord makes people travel safely through

their births and deaths in the darkness of ignorance and leads them out to the

destination guiding them by his own light and their own sight .In the ancient

days, sailors traveling in the mid-ocean used to observe a particular star to

take  their right direction in the journey . Similarly everyone is made to be

born under the guidance of a particular star which gives him a particular trends

of life and guides him through.

 

 

4,5 . The Lord shows his matchless valour in killing the demons and restoring

the devas

 

6 .Being the Lord of the living beings, He manifests Himself as the ruler of

beings everywhere.One who had the instinctive capacity to rule and administer is

to be known as a manifestation of god-life.

 

7 . The favourable trends of affairs in the life of anyone is the direction

given by the Lord to cross the hurdles and reach god-hood . Hence the wise ones

doneither  enjoy nor indulge  in the favourable trend of things in their

life.They get their guidance and lesson through something favourable by keeping

their head above the trend of affairs  and understand  every favour  as the

gift of God to guide them towards Himself.

 

8 . The Lord has many layers of the light surrounding Himself.Each layer keeps

everyone in his own level of understanding and point of view from which he

begins to understand the universe and the Lord . By the magnetic force working,

through these whirls of understanding , the Lord gives a series of revelations

to each  individual and attracts him towards Himself as the centre if his own

understanding . The very space and each solar system in space has its structure

woven as a series of whirls or orbit along   which the planetary bodies 

travel and receive their life from the centre which we call  the sun.

 

9 . The grand lotus sprouts from the navel of the Lord at the dawn of every

creation and this gives birth to the creator – consciousness who is Brahma,

the first son of Lord.

 

10. The eyes of the Lord show a resemblance to the petals of the Lotus. This

speaks  of the relationship  between his looks  and the creation  of

Brahma.Just as the lotus  blossoms when exposed to the rays of the rising sun,

so also the living beings get the power of sight and comprehension  by the

grace of the Lord being showered upon them.
