SUMMARY: Any metal being burnt in a furnace appears like Fire and it is only after the fire extinguishes that the metal regains its original look and appears as metal. Sri Hari, who rides on seven vehicles (Sapta = seven vAhana = vehicle) exists in all people and therefore, all people, at all times are providers of pleasure and intimate to Sri Hari.

Lord Hari exists in every human being and at his instance alone the passions, emotions, feelings etc., are displayed by people. He is the force behind all actions of human beings. Once he exits from a human body, the person dies or becomes defunct. No one becomes intimate, behaves in a friendly manner, develops hatred, evinces interest or discards the other person on his own or her own. All human actions are directed by Lord Hari, who lives in all beings. Malady is that like a metal in fire appears as fire, human beings assume that they are capable of doing anything as the wish. The truth is that nothing except Lord Hari is independent. There is no absolute liberty to anyone at any time.

It is stated in BruhadArNyakOpaniShat: “Atmanaha kAmAya priyam Bhavati” (ಆತ್ಮನಃ ಕಾಮಾಯ ಪ್ರಿಯಂ ಭವತಿ), which means that the “soul becomes lovable because of the deeds it accomplishes”.

The word “Saptavahana”, which means one who controls, rejuvenates and monitors human actions and thoughts. Sri Hari can be realized by thoroughly understanding him through the Seven Shastras as well as Rigveda and other Vedas.

SUMMARY: The taste of beautiful fruits that trees yield after the clouds produce rains vary from one fruit to another. Similarly, Sri Hari, the beloved of Goddess Lakshmi, manifests in every being but instills in them different characters and qualities within the permissible limits determined by individual ability. Where is the question of discrimination in such a Lord?

There is no difference in the quality and quantity of water that clouds produce on earth and over the plants and trees. But, the yields of fruits, flowers, their shape, size and taste vary enormously, depending on several factors. Similarly, Lord Hari manifests himself in every being in the same manner but produces different qualities, characters, behavior, thoughts, actions, emotions, excitement etc., depending on several factors. The differences in the yields of trees or plants are not due to any discrimination that the clouds or the rains produce; the differences in all features of each human being are not due to any discrimination shown by Lord Hari. Varida means Clouds and BhUruha means trees and plants.
