THE GREENING OF DIVINITY

THE GREENING OF DIVINITY

We are all born from the one source,God.
But the world play is such that we forget our link with that source.we forget our Divinity.Over time, we feel that our soul has become like a dry, leafless tree...
this is called vilaya, the 'not knowing'
interestingly matching with the western term "veiling" our Divine nature is veiled. It may go on for lifetimes.
Then there is Anugraha, Shiva's look of love, called 'Grace' in the western terminology.
That one look greens us all over again, it waters our parched and thirsty soul, simply because we have been connected to our roots, once again.

The clouds of ignorance begin to flit away, and we begin to see the Unveiling of Godness.
The great Sage Abhinavgupta of Kashmir , said this is the play of God with His bhakts, and the joy of the Bhakts with their God. In the end, all, is Shiva,God, or whatever you wish to call. As it was in the beginning.
Aum Namah Shivaye!
