antharyAmithvam
The invisible Lord -who is spread
everyhwere -who resides in all, also possesses the magnanimous qualities. How
can the Lord who does not show Himself in any form can display such pleasing and
wonderful qualities? may be a qustion springing up in the
mind.
He always strives for the welfare of the
jEvAthmAs. However, the souls who are submerged in the mundane and materialistic
pursuits, may reject Him, if He reveals His identity. They may ignore Him if He
tries to help them overtly. This is akin to a a son who had quarrelled with his
parents takes refuge in an inn nearby. The mother realising that he will be
hungry supplies food through the inn-keeper, that night, without revealing
that the food is given by her. Otherwise, due to the disgruntlement, the boy may
reject the food.
'irA maDam vUTTuvAraip
pOlEa' says swAmy Azhagia maNavALap perumAL nAyanAr in The AchArya
Hridhayam.
SwAmi nam-AzhWar also talks of this aspect
of the Lord entering His mind surreptiously
'nErmaiyAl nenjam
vanjithup pugundhu" . Out of His great magnanimity the Lord surreptiously
entered the mind lest He be not allowed to enter at
all.
The Almighty resides inside each and every
Atman and thinks for their good. This is reinforced by Sri
thiruvarangathamudhanAr in the irAmAnusa nURRandhAdhi 'vuL
ninRuyirgaLukku vuRRanavEa seiddhu -avarkku vuyave seiiyum
paran'
The vibhavam of course is to rescue the
souls of the upper world who never let the Lord rest in peace. They call
HIm off and on to rescue them.
The Lord of course always thinking How to
retrieve the souls 'vuRanguvAn pOle yOgu' are the words of mARan in
thiru-voi-mozhi.
The magnanimity thus pervades like
antharyAmithvam and is latent like the vibhavam.
