WITH SHIVA
You may have heard of 'Neti neti', which is the spiritual training of rejecting every material thing as ' not this, not that' .
This is a way taught by saints to ignore the world of Maya, so that we may carry on a spiritual journey till we have Self realisation, or meet God.
But once you have that meeting, something really beautiful happens : Suddenly everything changes to 'Tatha asthu, Tatha asthu ' with Shiva's benificent smile, which means ' So be it so be it,'
Let all be true, let all be happy.
Therefore, the supreme bhakt does not reject the world as Maya, but thinks of it as a beautiful expression of God Himself.
Moksha for a Shaivite is not ' Release from the circle of birth and death' but, being with Shiva, wherever He wishes us to be.
