TO LIVE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD

 

TO LIVE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD

The lessons with Shiva were endless. They had to be. His talk was profound, but so was His silence.

“You seem to be talking to me even when you are silent. Is it true or is it because i love you more than my own life?”She asked.

“Silence is a language only a few understand,” said Shiva. “Those special moments when silence speaks, when stillness gives wings,” He whispered.

Even His smile was profound. Everything about Him was the embodiment of wisdom. Sati noticed that there were traces of this wisdom even when He joked.

“Do you believe in Reincarnation?” He asked one day.

“Only if I get to be with you,” She replied.

And that was the essence of Sati's life: To live with Shiva in every life. And that is also the goal of the Bhakt: To live in the presence of his Lord in every birth.

Aum Namah Shivaye.
