Slokam 6

Having understood what has happened, the Paramathma does not request the Rishis to withdraw or reconsider their curse.  Instead He advocates compliance with the curse,  but adds a saving grace for His Security guards. He tells them that they will take three demonic births, as required to validate and complete the curse. Although they will be demonic and will be ill disposed towards spiritual matters including the Paramathma,  their hatred will be so intense, that they will always be thinking and be conscious only of the Paramathma, although in a negative way, and with an intent to destroy Him.

The Paramathma fully accepts this negative form as full devotion also.  Its called Samrambha (demonstrating devotion through anger and pride). Although this may not seem to be appropriate, the rationale is not that complicated.  Someone who is anti Paramathma, would always be thinking of ways and means to discredit and if at all possible, to destroy Him. This implies that the consciousness of the person is always fixed on the Paramathma, relentlessly, with no respite. 

So just as a maharishi’s entire consciousness will be placed at the feet of the Paramathma in peace and service,  and his mind will ever be chanting the Paramathma’s name, the one following the Samrambha path would be hostile, aggressive and attack oriented, but with his consciousness always fixed on the Paramathma, destructively.

The Paramathma is willing to accept both on an equal footing. The one seeking to strengthen Him though devotion and the other seeking to weaken him through derogation and destruction.

The Samrambha path recognizes that the events of this world are wrought entirely by the Paramathma.  However,  they do not agree that the events of this world does anyone any good. They are very self centered and believe that the Paramathma ultimately only intends to destroy them and His intentions towards them are not good. In the case of Jaya and Vijaya, they are born as Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu. Both are self centered and enjoy profiteering and pleasure at the expense of others.  They intended to enslave the human race for their benefit.  When the Paramathma destroys Hiranyaksha by taking the Varaha swaroopam,  his brother Hiranyakashipu seeks to avenge his death by confronting the Paramathma directly.

For those on the Samrambha path, the ego is a big driver of their existence. In their minds there is no one greater than them, including the Paramathma. So they are constantly looking for ways to establish their supremacy over everything else.

They are so devoted to themselves, and believe in their own supremacy wholeheartedly, that they see everyone as a threat to their wellbeing. They then wholeheartedly set their sights on destroying the threat.  The intense focus on the Paramathma and the ultimate destruction in His hands,  is the blessing that enables them to reach His feet, although unintentionally.

May we be always blessed to undeviatingly set our mind and consciousness on the Paramathma.
