Slokam 6

Hiranyaksha, continues the battle with an angered state of mind, to protect his territory. He throws his trident at the Paramathma,  who destroys it with His Chakra.

Hiranyaksha then resorts to fist fight with the Paramathma. He also resorts to illusory tricks to deceive the Paramathma. 

The illusory tricks to deceive the Paramathma is exactly what we use to try to deceive Him as well. Torn into two halves, with temptation on one side and the Paramathma on the other,  we resort to deceptive practices by yielding to worldly temptations, and hope that the Paramathma will not notice. However, the Paramathma will not be fooled by our illusions.  The deceptive practice is basically our own illusory self deception. When we commit adharmic activity, we create illusory thoughts to justify our actions to ourselves.

Whenever we justify the mistakes/wrongful acts that we perform, to ourselves through illusory thoughts, we are excusing ourselves and leaving ourselves open for more such mistakes. Whereas if we acknowledge that we are only hiding from the Paramathma, who knows everything, and who is always observing, we will not make these mistakes in the future. When we inadvertently or otherwise, commit these errors, we have to be fully transparent with ourselves that a mistake of significance has been committed, so that we do not repeat it in future.

That is the Hiranyaksha within us.

May we be endowed with the strength to ever be with the Paramathma and never attempt to create an illusion to justify any adharmic activity that we may inadvertently perform or perform without being able to avert or avoid the situation.
