KATHOPNISHADA CHAPTER 6 SHLOKA - 3

                                                                     भयादस्याग्निस्तपति

                                                                      भयात्तपति सूर्यः । 

                                                                      भयादिन्द्रश्च वायुश्च 

                                                                     मृत्युर्धावति पञ्चमः ॥ ३

                                                              BHAYAT  TAPATI  SURYAH |

                                                          BHAYAT  INDRACHY  VAYUCHYA 

                                                    MRYTYUR  DHAVATI  PASCHYAMAH ||3

DUE TO THE FEAR OF HIM  THE FIRE BURNS AND SUN SHANES AND DUE TO HIS FEAR 

        THE INDRA, VAYU AND THE DEATH- THE FIFTH DO THEIR FUNCTION }}3

      This Shloka we are again told that the force behind everything is the BRAHMAN. The BRAHMAN is needed for anything that the nature does or can do . I have mentioned in past that the nature or the PRAKRUTI does not have spirit or energy  and it itself cannot do any action unless enlightened by the PURUSHA - also called BRHMAN or Consciousness. If there is no consciousness does not have 3 GUNAS namely the Stawic , Rjaasic and Tamasic, are needed for any desire  and so it will not act But when they two come together , then the Fire burns and the Sun shines  and the Indra functions and also Death works the way in which it functions.

   Some people will say this in very simple way that EVERTHING in this universe happens due to wish and desire of the GOD . We in BHAKTIYOGA - devotional way of looking at this we say that not a single leaf on a tree moves without HIS wish and permission and knowledge.
