TO LIVE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD- प्रभु की उपस्थिति में रहने के लिए

 

 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.

प्रभु की उपस्थिति में रहने के लिए

शिवजी के साथ सबक अंतहीन थे। उन्हें होना ही था। उनकी बात गहरी थी, लेकिन उनकी खामोशी भी थी।

“आप चुप रहते हुए भी मुझसे बात करते दिखते हैं। क्या यह सच है या ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि मैं आपको अपनी जान से भी ज्यादा प्यार करती हूं?" उन्होंने पूछा।

"मौन एक ऐसी भाषा है जिसे केवल कुछ ही समझते हैं," शिवजी ने कहा। "वे विशेष क्षण जब शांति बोलती है, जब शांति पंख देती है," वह फुसफुसाए।

यहां तक ​​कि उनकी मुस्कान भी गहरी थी। उनके बारे में सब कुछ ज्ञान का अवतार था। माता सती ने देखा कि मजाक करने पर भी इस ज्ञान के निशान थे।

"क्या आप पुनर्जन्म में विश्वास करते हैं?" एक दिन शिवजी ने पूछा।

"केवल अगर मैं आपके साथ रहूँ," सती ने जवाब दिया।

और यही माता सती के जीवन का सार था: हर जीवन में भगवान शिव के साथ रहना। और यही भक्त का लक्ष्य भी है: हर जन्म में अपने भगवान की उपस्थिति में रहना।

ओम् नमः शिवाय।

YOU RAINED

 

YOU RAINED

When Grace happened,

you rained.

This desert heart

Renounced its pain.

You rained

and finally,

in every drop

I saw the same.

When Grace happened

I was swept

in a sea

forever changed.

~ From the book ' Shiva poetry' by Shail Gulhati

TO FIND THE UNCROWNED KING

 

TO FIND THE UNCROWNED KING

Between the twists and curls

lefts and rights of life

calm down, and find Him seated

dot center, in the middle,

Inside.

When one breath goes

and the other comes in

find Him entering your life, within.

Ida or Pingala, moon or Sun

Find the center, where all is one.

Hatha! be persistent in your yoga,

sitting on the earthy ground

through Guru mantra, raise your divine wing

but not a robotic chant, you are human,

fill it with all your being,

tan man dhan, give it your all

to find Shiva, the uncrowned king.

~ 'Shiva poetry Vol 2'- Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

"What is it , that you know always, that all the yogis always want to know?" The Devi once asked her beloved Nath, Shiva. Shiva smiled, laughed, and then spoke exaltedly like a poet,

" This earth upon which we sit, the hills, these trees, the springs, this soft wind,even the moon! the sky! those distant stars that bejewel the night as offerings to you,truly, dearest," He exclaimed, arising, "The entire universe is a projection from the pristine essence within me; this human bodied yogi you love-your husband, Shankar! I am always the knower of the highest transcendence, I am always the knower of what is always."

The Devi was impressed, but, " Where do i fit in?" she asked teasingly.

"You, Parvati," He urged emphatically, "are the embodiment of Shakti, my inseparable power of dynamics, you cause the projection, without you, there would be no manifest world, and i would remain ever, in my transcendence , by myself."

LIKE A CHILD

 

LIKE A CHILD

Worry not,

about this tumultuous stream called life

with all its sadness, all the strife

He will take you ashore like a child

He, who stands there always

waiting

to extend a helping hand

to you, who love God and life and all creatures alike.

Jai Ho!

When and how , will i know, you ask?

"Sam karoti, iti samkara"

says the Darsana of Kashmir,

He, who introduces you

to the sameness

of your own Self Divine

He , it is that is Siva

The Guru, Maheswaraye.

Namah Shivaye, Aum Namah Shivaye!

~ From the book' Shiva poetry Vol2 ' by Shail Gulhati

PARVATI ASKS NANDIJI ABOUT MAHADEV

PARVATI ASKS NANDIJI ABOUT MAHADEV

One day, before She was married to Shiva, Parvati asked Nandi to tell her about His habits.

“Why do you ask?”

“Oh, because I have so many notions of Him; so much I have heard, so much I have been told, and so much I feel intuitively. I want to know what is what with Him. So that I may serve Him well, for the rest of my life.”

WHEN I WAS SATI AND YOU WERE RUDRA…

 

WHEN I WAS SATI AND YOU WERE RUDRA…

He had virtually all the self-containment that anybody could ask for. And yet, He never got to the mystery of the woman. She appeared daily, without fail, at the end of each meditation.

One day She came in His meditation and even as He stared at Her, She returned the stare with an enchanting smile. He had been meditating ceaselessly for three nights and the result was that even in His thoughts, He was staggering.

“Who are you?” He finally asked.

“I am you, Rudra,” She said. “But to make things simpler, I am Sati.”
