653. Kaamee -One who has fulfilled all His desires. Desire is an expression of

an inherent sense of in- completeness-and this insufficiency unto oneself is

called ignorance of the Self. The non-apprehension of Reality gives rise to

endless misapprehensions of the same. Sree Narayana is the Self, the Reality,

and so all non-apprehensions must end in Him, then no desires can ever remain in

Him demanding fulfilment. He is " One of fulfilled desires " ...Some commentators

give just the opposite explanation, since the term Kaamee in Sanskrit can also

mean " One who has desires. " Here it would mean that Lord Vishnu is the Supreme

Reality who " desired to create " the world of plurality. The Upanishads roar: " He

desired " (Sah akaamayata). The creative urge in the Supreme is that which

expressed as the apparent illusion of a playful creation of multiplicity and the

endless varieties in them.
