HERE IN THEIR MIDST, AS PASUPATI.

Back in the hut, the animals never once disturbed him as he meditated. Sometimes he opened his eyes after hours of inward concentration , to see a deer looking at him curiously, A snake or two cuddled peacefully in a cosy corner was not uncommon either. It was unbelievable that sometimes bumblebees hovered around his kamandalu desperately looking for the source of a sweet and enigmatic aroma that would emanate almost every time he went into meditation. It was as though the animals knew meditation was the only thing worthy to watch in the humans. The only thing that was not copied from them.
But with Rudra, the arrangement was fair, he imitated their morning stretches in his yogas, and they felt an immense dimension of themselves in his presence. His sense of humour unburdened them and they felt worthy. They knew they were not just beasts , they were part of a divine plan. An important part. And he was here in their midst, as Pasupati.
