4.2.17 – 19

Maithreya says, Lord Siva remained calm and peaceful while Daksha was pouring all these insults on Him. Daksha’s anger was uncontrollable and so he cursed the Lord, “You will not be entitled for the Yaga Phalam that goes to  Indra and other Devas”. Saying thus, he left that place while every one was displeased to hear the “Siva Ninda”.

Note – this part leaves a great message to us. How ignorant Daksha was, to assume superiority over the Lord. In addition to expressing his displeasure in not being honoured, he deprived himself of, even the appreciation and approval from others.  He had to rush from that place.

We can notice this in our every day life.  When people argue or try to prove themselves, those who do not have any control over their emotions will have to vacate the place agitated, while a peaceful person remains there undisturbed, with a calm mind.

Here, Daksha crosses all limits and ends up in an explosive mental state. Siva means, “the most auspicious”. With such an auspicious mind, no one can affect your serenity and peacefulness.
