Namaste Subbu-ji,
..................
This is simply because the Atman, the true nature
of all of us, does not need any protection for it exists by itself, never
to be destroyed by any force whatsoever. Hence there is no dependence on
any other entity by/for the Atman. It is anatman that needs and gets the
support of the Atman/Bhagavan/Ishwara/Paramatman.

अहं इदं जानामि, इति स्वगतेन निरपेक्षप्रकाशरूपेण विषयम् अवभासयन् यः स्वयमेव भासते, 
तमेव भान्तं प्रकाशमानं अनुसृत्य एतत् समस्तं जगत् भाति न स्वत ।

The above is from तत्त्वसुधा of स्वयंप्रकाश यती....

If one studies Dakshinamurti Stotra with commentary under guru, 
I think most of the doubts related to Advaita Siddhanta is cleared, 
at least, from the perspective of advaita-sAdhana.  

One would feel handicapped if one ignores this beautiful work and takes to 
advanced works.

rgs,
sriram
