What is it that we can learn from the story of Lord Muruga?

[Shri Ganesh V asked: Padanamskaram Swamiji, What is it that we can learn from the story of Lord Muruga or Lord Karthikeya and the fruit of knowledge? At Your Divine feet, Ganesh V]

Swami Replied: God Subrahmanya is an incarnation of God Shiva and contains God Datta along with ParaBrahman. He is the goal to be worshipped for His Grace. There is no difference between ParaBrahman and God Datta, God Datta and God Shiva, and God Shiva and God Kartikeya. When He is the goal of our spiritual life, asking what should be learnt from the life of Kartikeya does not look proper to Me. Such question will be equal to the question like ‘What can we learn from ParaBrahman or God Datta or God Shiva’. We can ask a question like ‘What can we learn from the life of a devotee like Prahlada in Nivrutti’ or a question like ‘What can we learn from the life of Mahatma Gandhi in Pravrutti’? The Personality of God Subrahmanya is entirely Divine and it is the Personality of the Ultimate God, which is the best in every angle.
