SUMMARY: For those worshipping the Lord as Nirguna (without any quality/ies), the Lord, who is an ocean of kindness (Krupasandra), bestows heavenly comfort through Moksha and protects such devotee, without considering or ignoring the defects or sins of such a person; for TraividyAs, Lord Sri Hari, who is beyond the three qualities, remains far fetched and makes such persons hop around from heaven, earth and hell, eternally.

The word Nirguna does not mean lacking Gunas or qualities. There are three broad qualities or characters that all beings possess in different combinations. The three qualities are: Satwa, Rajas and Tamas. Lord Hari is free from these three traits. Any devotee who worships Lord Hari with this knowledge i.e. the Lord is not tainted with three traits or combinations thereof, the Lord relieves such devotees from the clutches of birth-death syndrome and relieves such beings from the bondage of family life. In other words, Sri Hari provides such devotees with the ultimate salvation or Moksha or Mukti. However, the contention of another school of thought that Nirguna means the Lord is bereft of all qualities like knowledge and happiness is untenable, invalid and flawed.

Traividyas means people who go by verbal or outwardly meaning of Vedas, consider or treat Lord Hari as just a superior person, perform sacrifices and other rituals with the sole intention of attaining heavenly abode, which is not possible. Such devotees may spend some term or tenure in the heavens but they can never reach the eternal bliss or salvation. Their journey from heaven to earth to hell continues for ever.

This subtle truth has been explained by Lord Krishna in The Gita.

SUMMARY: Even though the Lord is present within the three types of beings, he is untouched, unaffected by happiness or sorrow that the beings are continuously subjected to. He is the holiest of the holy; divinest of the divine and superior than the super-most. He is the ocean of complete happiness. Converting himself into the form of all the beings, in accordance with their past deeds, the Supreme Lord Sri Hari preserves and protects the universe of animate and inanimate beings.

Lord Hari eternally exists in Satwik, Rajas and Tamas types of beings but he is totally unaffected by whatever happens to those beings because of these qualities, the deeds and thoughts emanating from such qualities, the ebbs and tides of life.

ParAvarESha means both ParAvara and Eesha where Para refers to Rudra and other deities, deities superior than Rudra like Lord Brahma and others, who are less than or lower than Sri Hari in status and in every way and that is why Sri Hari is called as ParAvarEsha.

Sri Madhwacharyaru has explained this in his Brahmasutra Bhashya (1/4/3).

SUMMARY: Therefore, roam about like a proud, haughty, snooty Tusker by not thinking that ‘I am forever free to do anything and everything’ and by thinking that ‘whatever I do is done by Sri Hari, who is within me and outside me too’; then, Lord Sri Hari, who is worshipped by Lord Vayu, will not go away from you for even a moment.

Once the realisation occurs in human mind that ‘Naaham kartA, Harih kartA’, or ‘I do not do anything and everything is done by Sri Hari’, a sense of fearlessness emboldens the being to walk freely like a wild Tusker roams about without any fear or fervour in the wildest of woods. Sri Hari will bestow special grace upon such beings for all times.
