Importance of peaceful mind

Hindu mythology is an ocean filled with the treasures of wisdom. Our Rishis knew that the best way to convey the deep wisdom of the Vedas is to tell it in the form of a story with a deeper message. It is easier for the human minds to remember the stories and understand the deep purport hidden in those stories. This is the reason our ancestors wrote Puranas to convey the messages of spiritual wisdom hidden in the Vedas and Upnishads.  

Once the circumstances built in such a manner that Sri Kartikeji, who was also the Chief Commander of Devtas Army, had to fight a battle even though Shivji tried to stop him. Upon his return from the battlefield where he saw a lot of bloodshed, Sri Kartikeji became compassionate and emotional. With a heavy voice he asked Shivji, “Dear Father, why does it happen with me that I do not get the deep purport of your advice. Only after the fact, I realize the significance of your words, whereas Ganesha always act upon your words and hence avoid the difficult circumstances in life.
