HOW BHAGWAN CAN OUTSMART THE OVERSMART:

Hiranyakashyap (father of Bhakt Prahlad), in his attempt to avenge his brother's (Hiranyaksh) death, performed a tapasya for many years and ultimately, pleased Brahma. He asked Brahmadev the boon of immortality.

Brahmadev refused to grant such boon as this is against the laws of nature. Anything born must die. So, Hiranyakashyap used his intelligence and asked Brahmadev a very wierd kind of boon. He said, "तो ब्रह्मदेव, मुझे वरदान दीजिए कि, मैं न किसी अस्त्र से मरूं न किसी शस्त्र से,

न मैं दिन में मरूं न रात में, न घर के बाहर मारा जाऊं न घर के भीतर, न आकाश में मारा जाऊं न धरा पर, न मनुष्य के हाथों मारा जा सकूं न पशु द्वारा।" Brahmadev smiled at his request and granted him the boon he desired.
Hiranyakashyap started feeling immortal. He knew nobody could

counter all these conditions altogether. He started playing havoc with the humans. He tortured his son, Prahlad, who refused to consider him as BHAGWAN. Prahlad worshipped only Narayana and firmly believed in Him. One day, when Hiranyakashyap openly challenged Prahlad to show him

where his Bhagwan was, then Prahlad said, "He is everywhere. He resides in everyone and in everything, even in that pillar." Prahlad had randomly pointed his hand towards a pillar. Hiranyakashyap ordered his men to break that pillar and see what is there. Miraculously, a man-lion

creature came out of it. He seemed to be very aggressive. Hiranyakashyap was scared and confused at the same time. He couldn't believe on what he was seeing at that time. Prahlad, being a true Bhakt, had recognised his Ishwar. Narsimha (man-lion creature) carried Hiranyakashyap

in arms and went to the doorway of his palace. He placed Hiranyakashyap on his thighs and was ready to tear up his chest with His nails. Hiranyakashyap repeatedly said, "no one can kill me." Narsimha said, "I am satisfying all the conditions that are required to k!ll you.

Look at me, I am neither a human not an animal. This is neither morning time nor night, this is evening. You are neither out of your house nor inside, we are in the doorway. You are neither in the sky nor on the earth, you are on my thighs. I am neither using any astra or shastra

to k!ll you, I would k!ll you with my nails. Hiranyakashyap couldn't understand what was going on and Narsimha torn away his abdomen within seconds.

This incident tells us that for Bhagwan, nothing is impossible. Also, the theory of infinite possibilities seems very relevant

from here. You can be oversmart in this world, but you can never ever outsmart Bhagwan. Hiranyakashyap thought that he was granted the boon of immortality in disguise, but Bhagwan countered it.

NAMO NARAYANAYE!
