PARA PRAMATRI

We do know that Shiva Mahadeva, Adi Yogi, is the ideal of all yogis.

We do know that yogis, tapasvis and bhakts pray to Him, meditate upon Him, and await His revelations for their Atma bodh.

But what we need to understand is that Shiva Himself also meditates upon His own cosmic Self:

Shiva the yogi meditates upon Shiva the Tattva, the essence of all creation, for His own Self realisation.

Though each one of us come from Shiva tattva, Shiva the yogi is the Para pramatri- Supreme experient of this Shiva tattva.

And this realisation of descending from the Cid akasa, eternal sky of consciousness, and looking for Himself, and then finally finding His own higher states, is what constitutes the Lila of the Lord.

Indeed we are fortunate to live in the same world where the Lila is being played. Let us also remain in touch with our own Divinity with awareness.

Aum Namah Shivaye.
