FROM SEEDS TO FORESTS

 

FROM SEEDS TO FORESTS

“The seed is the ultimate map. It holds the complete technical blueprint, the conceptual code—the Bodha Gyan—of a giant oak. But tell me, is the map enough?”Asked Shiva.

“No,” the seeker replied, catching the rhythm of the truth. “The map doesn’t give shade. The code must sprout. It has to brave the dark soil, drink the storm, and fight its way toward the sun.”

“Yes,” Parvati added softly, stepping closer. “The seed is the mathematical calculation, but the growing forest is Paurusha Gyan. It is the truth stepping onto the floor and experiencing itself from the inside.”

THE BOATMAN

Waiting endlessly , i gather my thoughts,

What will He look like, the boatman who will take me across.

SARVATRA BHAIRAVA- SHIVA IS EVERYWHERE.

 

SARVATRA BHAIRAVA
The Ancient Rishis of Kashmir  have a saying, 'Sarvatra Bhairav" . Everywhere, is Shiva. Why do they say so? Because , everything comes from Him, and to Him it will go, this is something most people know or believe.But what we do not fully understand, is that Everything always also 'Stays' in Him . At each moment of our lives , we are actually abiding in Shiva, but we are not aware of this, we do not commonly understand this, in the way that we accept that everything comes from Shiva and will go back to Him.
But the Kashmir Shaiv Darsana : Kashmir Shaivism says, There does come a time in the life of a seeker when there is a Divine arising from within. This spiritual arising from Shiva within, is called Udhyamo Bhairav . When this happens due to years of prayer and meditation, learning and introspection, and , of course, the Anugraha- Grace of Shiva, the yogi becomes enlightened.

But the spiritual journey is not complete with just enlightenment or self realisation, it must culminate in the seeing of Lord Shiva everywhere, Sarvatra Bhairav. This is when the seeker has merged so completely into the sought, that he cannot anymore distinguish anything from His Beloved Shiva, wherever he looks he can " See" Shiva ! North, South, East, West, Here, there, up,  down, everywhere!

GOD ALONE KNOWS

 

GOD ALONE KNOWS

Its Amazing that the Phrase " God Alone knows" used nowadays for expressing one's own ignorance, was, in fact, originally meant to convey that enlightenment happens in great Solitude.

Bharat Bhagya Vidhata

 

Jana-gaṇa-mana adhināyaka jaya hē
Bhārata-bhāgya-vidhātā.
Paṁjāba-Sindhu-Gujarāta-Marāṭhā,
Drāviṛa-Utkala Baṁga
Viṁdhya Himācala Yamunā Gaṁgā,
ucchala jaladhi taraṁga
Taba Śubha nāmē jāgē,
taba śubha āśiṣa māṁgē
gāhē taba jaya gāthā.
Jana gaṇa maṁgala-dāyaka jaya hē,
Bhārata bhāgya vidhātā.
Jaya hē, Jaya hē, Jaya hē,
jaya jaya jaya jaya hē.~

The beautiful Indian  National Anthem has a particular line twice.
"Bhārata-bhāgya-vidhātā."
Have you ever wondered why so?

The first time it means, it is in India's destiny to have God. He is present in its Hills and valleys, rivers and shores, in east and west, north and south.That is why its geography is described in detail.

And the second time, it means God , who is the benefactor of all beings , who takes care of all the world, but in the case of India, He has written its destiny personally.

THE SPLENDOUR OF YOUR OWN SIGHT

 

THE SPLENDOUR OF YOUR OWN SIGHT

And when you witnessed a shimmering light,

did you feel that strange delight ?

as though you watched a play and knew

You alone were the watcher and the playwright.

~ From the book ' And life said ' by Shail Gulhati

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN SHIVA TOLD HIS OWN STORY

 

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN SHIVA TOLD HIS OWN STORY

“There was a time when Shiva Himself told His story to the forest dwellers, and Vyasa, the bard, used his prolific skill to record the self-revelations of the Divine One. And then, true to His trademark humility, Shiva receded into the background. But perhaps, wishing secretly that we would all remember Him, we would all know His legend, always.” Rishi Suta said.
