Slokam 7

The Paramathmas discus is said, in this slokam, to destroy the demon Hiranyaksha by mere sparks emanating from the Chakra. The Paramthma’s infinite strength and resources put Hiranyaksha into a fix. He does not know how to battle and is destroyed with a deft blow from the Paramathma’s hand.

When we take the adharmic route in our lives and become indirectly confrontational with the Paramathma through our actions, we can expect to be destroyed in a similar manner.

Let us remember, although Hiranyaksha was adharmic,  and he hated the Paramathma,  he was always thinking about the Paramathma, although in a negative manner. This form of negative dedication is accepted as devotion by the Paramathma, from demonic individuals.  However, if we normal human beings indulge in acts that are the direct opposites of the vedic prescriptions,  there will be no forgiveness. The Paramathma himself has said in the Bhagavath Gita, that He will push such individuals,  down the evolutionary ladder.  So we will then be forced to take birth as lesser beings in the animal world and re-undertake the evolutionary process all over again.

Hiranyaksha was born as demon per the curse of the four sages. He was assured by the Paramathma, that he would die only by the Paramathma’s own hands,  and as per the scriptures they would be devoted intensely to the Paramathma, but only through the negative path of hatred towards the Paramathma.

May we have the endowment to never deviate from being transparent with the Paramathma.
