Namo Narayana,

Excellent descriptions..
Just a little thought on the following lines extracted
from the post

'indiscriminate BrahmA', Hiranyakasipu was drunk with
pride at his own invincibility, lack of
> 
It is a common view that Bramha is absolutely
indiscriminate in the boons he grants and later runs
for succor. This is a belief most of us have held
since childhood.

I once heard in an Upanyasam that Bramha - true to his
dharma , only does his duty by granting the wish asked
by someone who has done penance. 
Depending on the penance done, he gives them their
palan, fully knowing, that the Universal Saviour
Narayana, will take care of the consequences. 'Do your
duty and leave the friut of your actions to HIM' is
what he demonstrates by granting the wishes.

This also shows the Mahavishwasam that he has in the
Lord and His Leelas. 

The intention of these lines was to share an anubhavam
that I heard sometime ago. In case I've unknowingly
hurt someone , kindly excuse me.

Ramanuja dasi,
