Gods and Demons churning ocean for divine nectar

In Hindu mythology there are many stories of fights between gods and demons. But there is one unique case where gods and demons worked together. God and Demons wanted to churn the ocean in the hope of getting divine nectar, which would have made them immortal. But alone they would not have been able to churn the ocean. So they have to join hands and cooperate with each other.

When they started churning the ocean, many things started coming out from the ocean. First thing that came out was a very deadly poison. Many people started suffering from the ill effects of this poison. So Lord Shiva drank this poison and this poison was so deadly that the throat of Lord Shiva became blue in color and the Shravan month is dedicated to Lord Shiva for this particular event only as people started throwing water and milk on Lord Shiva to reduce the impact of this poison. In Shravan month Shivalinga is worshipped with milk etc.

After the poison many more things came out from the ocean like Goddess of wine, Lakshmi (Goddess of prosperity and beauty), Parijata the Celestial tree, Rambha the nymph , Moon, Kaustubha a jewel, White Horse, Surabhi the cow of Plenty, Dhanus a mighty bow, Airavata a white elephant, Sankha a conch shell came. But Gods and Demons were looking for divine nectar which would have given them immortality. So they kept on churning the ocean till the divine nectar came out.

This story looks like a myth but if we analyze this story from the perspective of a meditator. Then I think it has a very deep meaning. When we start practicing meditation then we have to face many unconscious fears, desires, traumas which are buried deep in our unconscious mind.
Through meditation, the meditator transform these desires by passively witnessing them. In the end we get enlightened which is like drinking the divine nectar.

Moral of story is that much is stored inside us. It carries both good and bad seeds. Instead of looking outside we have to look inside for the inner richness. When any negative desire comes out from our mind then we have to transform the energy into its highest form. e.g. sex into love, hate into compassion etc
