Verse 83 O ARUNACHALA! How is it that by uniting with the meek who belittle themselves all the more, THOU hast risen high? True devotees are extremely humble. There is not the least trace of pride in them. The deeper their devotion, the greater becomes their humility. The LORD rushes to the succour of the devotees. HE is prepared to go to any lengths for sustaining and saving them. Thereby is HIS Greatness exhibited. It may be truly said that HE is subservient to the devotee (bhakta-paradhina). HIS splendour lies in descending from HIS exalted place and lifting the soul from the slough of sordidness and sorrow. The deeper HE descends, the greater is the manifestation of HIS Splendour. In the language of bridal mysticism the verse could also be taken to mean: THOU hast liaison with so many women, and yet THOU remainest pure.
