These shlokas are lord Shankar's favourite shlokas, their devotees chant these shlokas to please Him. As you all know Lord Shankar Ji is very naïve and becomes happy very quickly.
Lord Shiva the most naive lord [Bhole Bhandari]
All the leelas of lords show Shiva as a very innocent and naïve lord, always ready to help His devotees. He can even tolerate insults and their false pride and love them in the hope that one day they will realize it. I am talking about Ravana, the mighty kind of demon.
A story says that Ravan, a great devotee of lord shiva, used to go to Kailash parvat to worship Him every day. One day He says lord Shiva, O my lord, as you know I am the most powerful kind of the earth I have no time to visit your place every day to offer my pooja. Why don't you come to my palace and receive my offerings every day?
But it was Shiva's patience and compassion that He did not get angry with Ravana. This was Shiva who gave Ravana many boons.
Lord Shiva the true leader
Lord Shiva and the whole family is unique in nature, It is said that the lord asked each and every member of the family to disperse and spread in the different parts of India to propagate Devotion, Bhakti and to make it easy for human beings to get attached with them easily.
We see In the north part of India Shiva is worshipped in the eastern part Shakti i.e Devi Durga is worshipped in the middle part of India Lord Ganesha and in the southern part Lord Kartikeya/ Murugan is worshipped.

We can say He is the true leader and leads us to our ultimate aim of life.
Unique Family
We see that there is wonderful coordination between all the powers in the Shiva family. Remember, if we look at their vehicles, we can know how far it is. Shankar ji's vehicle is Nandi a bull, the same mother Durga's lion, Ganesh Ji's mouse, rat and Kartike ji's peacock.
The lion and the bull, the mouse and the peacock are staunch enemies, but they live in wonderful harmony in Kailash.
This is the lesson we get to coordinate in our lives.
