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.
