SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

Lord appears to ask AzhwAr: Taking pity on You, I need
to say "do not fear" (abhayam) and I need to be in
Your heart always for ever- You prayed for. Why should
I be there and what for? How it is possible for you to
see Me in the world objects - Is it feasible? - AzhwAr
responds. 

ooninmEya aavin^ee_u
RakkamOdu Narchchin^ee,
aanilmEya ainthumn^ee_a
vaRRuLn^inRa thooymain^ee,
vaaninOdu maNNumn^eeva
LankadaRpa yanumn^ee,
yaanumn^eeya thanRiyempi
raanumn^eeyi raamanE! (94)

Oh Raama piraanE! You are the life within this human
flesh.. You are the sleep as well as jnAnam (awakening
state). You are the very pancha kavyam made from the
cow's milk, curd, and others. You are cleansing power
in the panchakavyam which removes the sins. You are
the upper and lower worlds. You are the fruits that
one gets from the oceans of the world! You are Me too.
Not just that Unity with me; You are the One who
blesses us as well.

It is certain that the people living in the world can
not but see the world. Also for those who wish to
enjoy You and perform meditation, the body, their
life, their feelings, their experiences- the paapams
that are accrued due to them- are all cleared and
removed by the pancha kavyams (made of Cow's milk,
curd, Ghee, Urine and excreta) which would cleanse one
of their sins- per saasthras. Thus when think of it,
everything is needed in this world. However, if one
has You in the heart always, then whatever that he
sees - will be You; {sunischaiva svapAkhE cha paNdithA
samadarshina:)

brahmArpaNam brahmahavi: brahmAgnou brahmaNA hutham..
 
The experience arising out of this world- will be also
You.. And it [such a feeling] is due to Your anugraham
(grace) only. That feeling should be the underlying
fundamental basis in a devotee's life. 
oonin mEya vaavi; adhanRi Em piraanum nee- This only
means that the matter (achith) and the jeevas (chith)
are all He (meaning- His attributes- His sareera) and
He is our Piraan (Master); Thus, AzhwAr establishes
our sampradayam which is based on ALL sruthi vaakyam
without violating any sruthi (Vedic statements) void
or false. It does not mean abhEdha stuthis alone -
merging with Brahman and Brahman is the world and
there is nothing else other than Brahman. 

Sri Ramanuja had defined this term sareera uniquely-
as derived from Upanishads: That substance, which is
capable of being entirely controlled and sustained by
a sentient being for its own sake and which is
essentially subservient to that being is the sareera
of that being. 

yasya chEthanasya yadravyam sarvAthmanA svARthE
niyanthum DhArayithum Cha Sakhyam,
thaCCHEshathaikaswaroopam Cha thatthasya SarIramithi
SarIralakshaNamAsThEyam |

For the world, and for me- You are the Master; You are
the Controller; You are nAThan. But You do not become
us and the world. All of us (including matter) are the
Sareera of Yours and are supported by You. Your
command; Your direction is what makes us exist and
act. Thus all these guNAs of ours are Your sankalpam
and Your will; under your control. 

You Yourself have declared in GitA: 

All this world of the sentient and non-sentient is
pervaded by Me, the unmanifested Being. All the
objects which are under my control, subsist in Me; I
do not subsist in them; in other words, My existence
does not depend on them. Again these objects do not
abide in Me- Look at my divine Power; I support all
the objects and yet I do not abide in them. It is my
sankalpa that supports. (GitA- 9th Chapter- 4,5)
