Vyakhyana Saram:
Azhvar says - Understand this; Such an all protector will leave His abode in the milky ocean and come reside in the hearts of His devotees.

Azhvar is asked - How is that even those who have great knowledge and power such as Rudra forget their nature. Azhvar replies - They attempt to reach Him through their self effort and as such forget their nature. However, He is in our hearts because of the fact that we do not try to keep Him out. Therefore, we will not fall into that trap. Even if we did, He will remove that and protect us.
