Shiva bending backwards while upholding his Trisula seems to convey so well that moment, when even God is torn between heart and mind

Photo: TORN BETWEEN HEART AND MIND Thanks Radhika Verma for your beautiful sketch of Lord Shiva. It is said, at the time when Shiva learnt about Sati's death, one part of Him , the husband of Sati , thought about ending the world. The other part of Him, the father of the Universe, battled with Himself to spare the world from such a punishment because of Daksha's mistake.When the heart and mind are in such a battle, the angst of anyone is tremendous. In Shiva’s case it is magnified a thousand times! This Picture of Shiva bending backwards while upholding his Trisula seems to convey so well that moment, when even God is torn between heart and mind. May The Universe never see that Occasion again, may we, as Bhakts never give the same kind of grief to our Lord. Aum Namah Shivaya! Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.
