Why are we getting afraid of the furious Swaroop of Paramatma?

We enjoy the blessings of Paramatma in everything that provides us comfort, luxury, and entertainment of senses but we cannot face death, destruction and loss of beloveds or name and fame in the society when it is said that we should be steady inwardly.

अभयं सर्वसत्वेभ्यो यो ददाति दयापरः ।

तस्य देहाद्विमुक्तस्य भयं नास्ति कुतश्र्चन।।

It is said that what we give, we receive it back in the form of the fruits of our karma, Sow shall you reap. When a person who provides non-fearlessness to all his subordinates, dependents or weak followers would surely be bestowed with fearlessness; But when a person becomes unkind and cruel to all and tortures all the people depended on him would feel fear every now and then . As human beings we spread a fearful atmosphere through our power of brain and strength of body, Though there are more wild animals, birds, and creatures physically more strong compared to human beings. We can control them and engaged them with the power of our super brain. At the end of the day, while sleeping we cannot sleep peacefully after spreading fear, horror, and terror to other livings then how could we be fearless?

But who shares अभय fearlessness to all the others livings would not afraid of anything even after the death of his physical body because to give shelter to distress and to share fearlessness is a great kind of activity than to do as a charity and sparing donations of entire earth full of gold and grains, silver and jewels, cows, horses, and elephants, or more than all the kinds TAPASHCHARYA तपश्र्चर्या and TIRTHATAN तीर्थाटन visiting all the holy places on this planet.

According to the life cycle, every living depends on the other for his existence and livelihood JIVO JIVASYA BHOJANAM जीवो जीवस्य भोजनम् but to kill or harass anybody just for fun or feeling of revenge and hatred is an unpardonable act. Paramatma has taken all kinds of Avtar SAUMYA SWAROOPसौम्य स्वरुप and RAUDRA SWAROOP रौद्र –उग्र स्वरुप।

जथा अनेक बेष धरि नृत्य करिइ नट कोइ ।

सोइ सोइ भाव देखावइ आपुन होइ न सोइ ।। (मानस-उत्तर-७२ ख)

We see twenty-four Avtar of Vishnu as MATSYAमत्स्य, VARAH वाराह, KURMA कुर्म KACHCHHAPA कच्छप as well as Ram, Parshuram and Krishnavatar. But a devotee who sees Paramatma in everybody and everything of the universe would not afraid of seeing Paramatma as Matsya, Varah, or Kachchhap. They see all the Swaroop as they please to see Ram and Balkrishna . Paramatma has taken Swaroop of even non-livings as Mountains Himalaya, Vindhya, Girnar, Govardhan. He has taken Swaroop of rivers like Ganga and Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri. He dwells in the Swaroop of BASIL Tulsi, Peepal, Banyan tree. He dwells in the ARCHAVTAR आर्चावतार as Statue of Ram, Krishna, Shiva Ling, and stone as Kaba . And he acts according to HIS role as the lion of Durga or Vrishabh of Shiv, Mouse of Gajanan as if he were acting on the stage in front of us. In ARCHAVTAR, he did not move a little and remains steady while in Rudra Avtar he performed and whirled trio-world. In Nrusinh Avtar he shows terror and horror to Hiranyakashyapu and the assembly full of Rakshasas but Prahalad can see him as Paramatma and others are frightened to see him , him his furious Swaroop. Holika felt the heat and burnt in the Agni Swaroop but Dhruv feels the coolness of his mother's lap in the same flames of fire.It means that whatever we see in this world is not real. It not VIRAT SWAROOP of Paramatma . What we see is only a reflection of our minds and thoughts. Because our vision is hidden under the curtain of attachment to Sansar, affection with perishable things and persons, negative feelings of greed and revenge, envy and jealousy, we cannot see VIRAT Swaroop of Paramatma in this universe everywhere in Prakruti but a devotee can see HIM everywhere as,
