SILENTLY FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME

 

SILENTLY FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME

Silently

from the beginning of time,

the nameless ones

salute the One with endless names.

Namah Shivaye,

Aum Namah Shivaye!

My song,

just one more drop in the Mystic Sea.

For He,

who ever since He chose

to make waves,

is loved by a million gatherings of drops

like you, like me.

~ Shiva Poetry by Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

To worship Shiva, walk His path. Do in every situation as He would.

To worship Shiva, walk His path.

THE PLAY OF MAYA...

THE PLAY OF MAYA...

One evening, while playing their game of dice, Sati asked Shiva,“Tell me honestly, do you ever cheat when we are gambling, do you use your maya to win?”

“No, of course not! Why do you ask?” He said.

“No, nothing. I just had a fleeting thought and wanted to check.”

“How can I cheat the one who has cheated me into thinking I have any control over my destiny! And tell me Sati, how can there be free will, when whatever I do…whatever, it must always lead back to you,” said Shiva, trying to charm Her.

“Place your bets,” said Sati, visibly happy with the answer,as She shook the twin dice vigorously.

Is God formless, or does God have a body?

 

THE ETERNAL GAME

 

THE ETERNAL GAME

Yeh Khel hai janam janam ka re

this my beloved, is a repeated play

it is you, for who, the Universe is made!

And yes ,there is a primal game

to seek and hide and seek again:

Enchanting diversions and fun fables,

whizzing past the globe, far and wide

and just when you are beginning to like it all,

She hides.

She hides, it's your turn to seek ,

we've done it a thousand times,

time for you to learn the other side ,

and just for a bit, your legs go weak,

come now, like you yourself say ' overcome despondence with faith! '

Keep walking, till chance throws a dice and turns the tables :

and then you realise once again,

it was always, always the eternal game.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

MOKSHA

 

MOKSHA

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 ".

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.
