O Lord.
Lord Brahmā, approaching the Lord, addressed Him thus: My Lord, please protect me from these sinful demons, who were created by me under Your order. They are infuriated by an appetite for sex and have come to attack me.
Purport
It appears here that the homosexual appetite of males for each other is created in this episode of the creation of the demons by Brahmā. In other words, the homosexual appetite of a man for another man is demoniac and is not for any sane male in the ordinary course of life.

Translation
O supreme soul! O Lord! By your order I created the offspring. These sinful beings are chasing me for sex. Please protect me!
They desire sex even though I am a male.

Personal Guidance
The cosmology here is not abstract scenery — it locates the reader inside a vast, intelligent order. Seeing your tiny role in this design quietly cools the urge to make yourself the centre.
Reflection Questions
- What would change in your prayer if you remembered how small your sphere actually is?
- How could awe of the creation become a daily practice and not just a Sunday feeling?
