THE SKY WAS NEVER WITHOUT LIGHT!


THE SKY WAS NEVER WITHOUT LIGHT!
The great teaching of Kashmir Shaivism,says that vikalpas( thoughts) are like clouds that hide the Nature of the Self temporarily, which is actually luminous, like the Golden SUN.
So, man forgets His connect with God.
A passage from the book The Yogi and the snake terms Shivji's own Maya as a great mystery, that can sometimes appear as Bhadrakali, a dark cloud .
Now this dark cloud, can veil our true identity and keep our own Divinity hidden from us.
“Bhadrakali, embraces intimately, the stillness attribute of pure Consciousness. But it is not the end, much as it appears to be. It has been described as ‘without content’. Actually, it conceals content. See it to its end.
It will move away, revealing light, in the same stillness. The sky was never without light! "
Ultimately,the Sunny Nature of God illumines the entire world.
This beautiful pic of Shivji meditating, driving the clouds of doubt away to usher in a sun of radiant clarity portrays beautifully the wisdom of the Shaivite Bhakts. Aum Namah Shivaye.
