Shiva, Nilakanth, the Deva whose throat is blue from being able to drink poison and not be harmed by it. There is an important lesson to be drawn from Nilakanth Dev. Everything in life is or can be poison, unconscious emotions – anger, fear, hate, jealousy, greed, lust, cowardice, etc, run our life. Or it might be more appropriate to say they ruin our life.

Shiva, Nilakanth, the Deva whose throat is blue from being able to drink poison and not be harmed by it. There is an important lesson to be drawn from Nilakanth Dev. Everything in life is or can be poison, unconscious emotions – anger, fear, hate, jealousy, greed, lust, cowardice, etc, run our life. Or it might be more appropriate to say they ruin our life. They are unconscious because they take possession of us often for no rational reason. And they eat away our energy. Understand the unconscious nature of these emotions, how they function, and use their energy positively, Turn a Life's poison into nector. ‪Emotions are energies. And unconscious emotions can be transformed by the alchemy of awareness into their opposite, positive values. fear can become love, anger can become compassion, hatred can become friendliness, lust can become creativity. It is the same energy, transformed through understanding. Meditate on HIS name, watch all the ways of the mind - greed, desire, ambition, jealousy, possessiveness ~ one day you will find they are not there. Their power was in being unconscious. They have no other reality. So as soon as you shine the light of awareness on them, they disappear. Move close to HIm. Don't try to know him, love him first and the light will shine on you ~ Peace ~ Jai Neelkanth Mahadev!
