WHAT WORK DO YOU DO, ASKED SATI ?

 

WHAT WORK DO YOU DO, ASKED SATI ?

“So, what work do you actually do?” Sati asked coyly like any newly married wife.

“I meditate,” Shiva answered.

“No, I meant what work do you do as in work?”

LILA

 

LILA

Shiva’s silence, is deep and still, Where nothing moves and nothing ever will. But Shakti brings the magic and the trance, Creating two so there is room to dance. In Shiva’s silent realm, the soul is always one, Resting in the stillness closer than the sun. But Shakti loves the drama of the many and the two, Dancing through her lila just to play a game with you.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

WHO CAN KNOW THE ORIGIN OF SHIVA?

 

“One thing that stood out clearly in the descriptions, was that there was much paradox about Him. The moment anyone thought they understood one aspect of Him, immediately another would come and juxtapose itself in contrast. And that was the way He was known by most people: As the greatest enigma in the pantheon of the hindu Gods,” continued Suta.



“Truly Gurudeva, Shiva is a great enigma,” said Shaunaka.
“Yes,” Suta continued, “No one was ever sure of His antiquity, or His antecedents; none knew who His parents were, or if He was actually a sibling to the Vedic Gods. Some said He was Brahma’s son, others asserted He was Swayambhu, the Self-created, who, after manifesting Himself, in fact, created Brahma also.”
“So what is the truth, Gurudeva? Who created who?”
“No one could know for sure,” said Suta. “Every search for Him spiraled into a concentricity of a higher realm. Even after hearing about Him endlessly, one would come back to the same mystery.” Shaunaka noticed that Suta was gently spinning his own head in a circle as if to signal the concentric nature of Shiva.
“What was His story, really? Where were His origins? Why was He called Rudra the terrible, in one breath and also Pasupati, Lord of all creatures, in another?” Suta looked at Shaunaka piercingly.
“His one thousand and eight other epithets that had astounding ramifications in their tributes, left so many tracks to follow.
He seemed to be all-pervasive.
This Omnipresence had a magical effect; it veiled Him.”
“That is so amazing!” exclaimed Shaunaka. “Omnipresence is the very magic that veils God. If we are in the midst of a thing too much, we don’t register it. Like air!”
"Yes. God has been with us always, right from the beginnng of tme, right from when He made this world for us."

When is it possible to actually get God to accept your gifts?

 

AUM NAMAH SHIVAYE.

Dear friends and Shiva bhakts,
this is an amazing pic from the net. A bhaktin does Abhishek of a Shivalinga somewhere near the banks of a holy river town- probably Haridwar or Rishikesh, and we note that Lord Shiva virtually pops up to give blessings. Her efforts have born fruit. But we also see something startling: Shiva is drenched with the potions of the Abhishek!

Is this possible? Can an offering on a stone image thousands of miles away actually reach a chosen personage? Practically speaking, this is an impossibility, a type of wishful thinking.

But we in India, have long had the tradition of sharing even our food with our God first in a similar manner, and we call this 'Bhog lagana'- 'To make God partake in our feast, knowing that all comes from Him anyway', and because according to the ancient rishis, anything was possible for God,we would do well to understand that this painted scene means to convey a higher message:

When you do something with your body and mind and also pour your soul into it, when Namah Shivaye becomes Mano Shivaye, Tano Shivaye, Dhano Shivaye, metaphorically speaking, ' Shiva is drenched with your love' . He can no longer resist giving you His Darsana.When you offer Him everything you have, your body ( karma)  your mind ( gyana) , and your very soul ( raja yoga) , knowing that all these come from Him, then your worship with the combination of all these  blossoms into a great Bhakti bhava, and Shiva ,who is Aashotosh, ( easily  pleased ), will come to your very doorstep. His Idol in your heart and mandir both, will begin to shine with a divine luminescence for ever after.

Aum Namah Shivaye!

GURUHOPPER

 

GURUHOPPER

Like your friend the grasshopper ,you deem

that the grass isn’t always green.

But don’t be a Guru hopper

don’t be a person who changes one Master

for another - just, to ‘change the scene’

While change maybe fashionable,

even desirable in the world of style,

in matters of the Divine it isn't keen,

Because, essentially ,the Divine

is about the CHANGELESS, you see what I mean !
