why was raja varma unhappy whith his reward
Answers
Answer:
raja varma was unhappy with this old man, having white beards and unappealing personality unlike Shiva and Vishnu. Being old, he fears death and change.
Vedas speculate that Brahmand came into being due to desire. A desire to give birth to a realm.
This theme is extrapolated in Puranas where, after having born through Vishnu's navel, Brahma opens and eyes and sees no one. He gets terrified of the solitude and desires to create. He creates Sandhya (Usha, Gayatri, Shatarupa, the name varies) ,Saptarishis ,Devas and Kama. Sandhya, Brahma's daughter, does pradakshina around him as he's her father. Kama fires the love arrow on Brahma and he gets sexually excited to see his daughter. When Sandhya circles around him, he pops out one head, each in four directions to experience the surreal beauty of his daughter. Sandhya is disgusted. An act of incest by her father? She runs above and Brahma sprouts fifth head, on the top. She runs, taking forms of various animals and Brahma runs after her, taking the form of the male animals.
Everyone is shocked. Seeing this, Shiva appears as Rudra. He's extremely angry at outburst of Brahma's sexual desire upon her daughter. He angrily howls and chops off the fifth head of Brahma, for this head had crossed the limits. In Puranas, sometimes it is told that Brahma saw Sati with lustful gaze and spilled his semen. Shiva got terribly angry and chopped off his head. This act of incest by Brahma may horrify our souls, but this is what every man does, if the whole story is viewed symbolically.
Brahma is symbolically the mind and Goddess is symbolically the Nature. Goddess as Nature, Prakriti is the mother of all minds and as Culture and civilization, Sanskriti, she's the daughter of the mind. Nature creates us. We create civilization. It's that simple.
When Brahma sees Sandhya, he feels to dominate her. The mind wants to feel superior to Nature by dominating culture. The sexual gaze of Brahma is the metaphor for mind's attempt to claim over Nature. He derives his identity through his creation and decides to remain in his imagination. He ignores the ultimate reality, the soul, the Purusha within him. The outside gaze to develop an identity outshines the inward gaze to do darshan of soul, self realization.
Brahma feels that if he'll claim culture, he'll rule upon Nature and will be free from all the miseries that exist in Nature: scarcity, death , fear and tendency to dominate. The mind feels I matter to nature. But the reality is Nature favours no one. A lion, peacock, snake and human, Nature considers all equally.
Thus, consumed by his own Brahmand, Brahma runs away after her daughter to claim her.
Rudra arrives after this. He knows that mind cannot dominate over Prakriti. Brahma's beliefs are fuelled by his increasing imagination, which is amplifying everything he's thinking. Four heads have already amplified so much of all his fears and desires. The fifth head, atop the all four simply dismisses the natural limits. It's his aham that has now engulfed him by making him feel that he can observe Goddess from all directions, hence control her.
Hence Rudra howls terribly and chops off the fifth head of Brahma. Thus, Shiva as Rudra, puts an end to territorial attitude of Brahma. Shiva as the enlightened mind tries to make Brahma realize his identity, not as a frightened mind, scared by mobility of Nature but as the still and unchanging soul that resides within.
So, Brahma is not worshipped. Worshipping him would mean we admire the mindset he symbolically represents. Vishnu is the mind who respects autonomy of Prakriti and celebrates her as Sanskriti. Shiva is the mind who blissfully remains unaware of rhythms of Prakriti and has no dependence on Sanskriti. Brahma is the mind who gets terrified by Prakriti who favours none and tries to claim Sanskriti so that his will may become the will of Nature.
Clearly, Shiva and Vishnu are the ones who are worthy of worship and not Brahma for worshipping is a way of admiring and adoring the iconographies and symbols of Gods and Goddesses. No human would like to remain in delusions like Brahma's. Initially, we all are Brahma, who derive our identity from this world. But we can become Vishnu and Shiva, celebrate this world without getting attached to it and discovering the Purusha within.
