CENTRE STAGE
“Verily, there is a great lesson you must know, my dear Shaunaka,” said Suta. “There is Shiva tattva and there is Shiva, the Yogi.”
“You mean there are two?” asked Shaunaka. “Now I am really confused, Gurudeva. Please clarify.”
“There is just The One, there has always been One, and there shall always be The One only. Two is only a derivative of One.
A derivative does not change the origin! The One is Shiva tattva, the universal stuff from where all things are made. From where all beings originate, including us.”
“So who is Shiva the yogi?”
“Ah!” said Suta with visible happiness as he explained further to his disciple shaunaka, “Shiva the yogi, is the highest embodiment of Shiva tattva.”
“So, you mean…”
“Yes. After the whole universe is directed by Shiva tattva, there is the entry of the director into His own play, as one of many actors in the act.”
“Oh my God, Gurudeva!” said Shaunaka. “That’s amazing! The director taking on a role as actor; that’s quite a plot on its own!”
“Isn’t it simple?” said Suta. “Why else would the director create a play like that of all life, if there wasn’t a role for Him?” As his smile widened, he added, “And that, my child, is Shiva the yogi. Not two. Still the One.”
“Amazing!” repeated Shaunaka.
“So, too, the whole world was ready to be created; Like a stage, waiting for Shiva’s own arrival. "
