SUMMARY: Along with his wives Sree, Bhoo and Durga, Lord Hari manifests in everything that is seen or viewed in the world as cause and/or consequence and remains as the motivating and motivated force behind all actions and reactions like the cloth and the yarn; he bestows everything to the world on his own capacity like the rays of Sun; he also receives everything. Can his sojourn be seen and understood by those without the basic sense?

The yarn or thread should be understood as the “causing objects” and the cloth, the final output, should be perceived as the “consequence”. The “PaTarUpa” in the above stanza refers to the manifestation of Lord Hari in the animate and inanimate beings or things or objects. He is the force behind anything that happens in the world and does not happen in the world. Unless he wishes, nothing can move, act or react.

The rays of Sun suck the water during the northward journey of the Sun called Uttarayana, and releases the same water as rains during the southward journey of the Sun or the Dakshinayana. Similarly, Lord Hari keeps on doing things on his own will. This journey of Lord Hari is seldom understood by those not possessing the basic knowledge of Hari.

He worships and gets worshipped too/ಶ್ರೀ ಹರಿಯು ಪೂಜನೀಯ ಹಾಗೂ ಪೂಜಕನಾಗಿ ಫಲ ನೀಡುವನು

SUMMARY: Like a father presents and makes his son wear attractive attire, silk clothes, gets saluted by him (son), blesses him and feels very happy, PundareekAkSha Sri Hari plays the role of worshipper and the worshipped, becomes the various material offered to him in the worship and then grants the desires to his devotees, which is the result of the worship and devotion.

Sri Jagannatha Dasaru has deftly explained in this stanza that the devotion, worship, prayer, salutation, offerings of flower, betel leaf and so on are the material in which Lord Hari stays, gets them offered by the devotee by being in the heart of the devotee. A father makes his son salute and then blesses the son. This does not mean that the father does not bless without being saluted. Lord Hari is likened to a father to make everyone understand the sequence. The following except from Yogadeepika (10/45-48) substantiates the matter further:

Every living being is not at all free. Unless Lord Hari empowers, wishes or allows a being to think, act or react, every being is like a person in the coma stage. The minutest particle of ‘ego’ in the being wreaks havoc on human mind. Earlier one understands this secret the better. Otherwise, human beings shift from one doom to another and the journey becomes infinite. This has been very clearly explained by Sri Jagannatha Dasaru in this entire master piece.
