4.6.8 – 30

Maithreya says that the Devas were too afraid to go near Lord Siva, so Lord Brahma accompanied them to Kailasam.

Now Bhagavatham describes the beauty of Siva’s abode in detail.  The beauty of nature was overwhelming, but the Devas were so shaken that they did not pause and spend time in enjoying it. They kept walking towards where Siva was seated.

And then they saw a “VadaVriksham” (banyan tree).

Note – what do we learn here? Siva means the most auspicious and Kailasam is the place of celebration. Only when the mind is pure and free from worries, it can recognize and enjoy beauty.

The real journey of all minds is in search of God only, and we can not stop until we find Him. Brahma represents Knowledge here.  That means, only with Knowledge or the “SadGuru” as our guide, we can become free from fear and ever succeed in this journey for truth.
