Regardless of age, country, or circumstances in life, we can be sure of one thing — our lives will change. Each moment differs from the preceding moment and is distinct from the instant that follows. Sometimes we experience great joy in this change, as we watch a bud blossom into a beautiful flower. Yet other times we feel deep sorrow; our flower withers away to nothing.This life is a pendulum which moves us from joy to sorrow again and again. We might wonder: is there no way to stop this pendulum?
Lord Shiva is the One Consciousness who perceives all transformation. He is called The Great Destroyer, because by transforming our reality each moment, He destroys what was—to create what is.When we are attached to our current circumstances in life and Lord Shiva dutifully changes them, we feel sorrow. In spiritual life, He creates change for us in order to illuminate our attachments and help us go beyond them. In this way, we can let go, and find the eternal Consciousness that shines behind the apparent transformations of our perception...!
