SHIVLINGA
One day Sati asked Shiva, "tell me, what is this thing about the Shivlinga being your representation?”
Shiva smiled. “The Shivlinga means many things at many realms, each true for that level of subtlety. It is a symbolic representation of absolute transcendence, Omkaar, the impersonal God leading to esoteric and spiritual understanding.”
“I see.”
It therefore, means different things to different people.And the paramount understanding is this:
transcendent Godhood, God in His pure form of nirakaar is unfathomable , unknowable,in its pristine realm of infinity.
It however, becomes knowable when God creates a finite world and then pervades bthat world Himself..." Shiva held Sati close to Himself.
“Yes,Shivlinga—there is no beginning and there is no end, one cannot find its source, nor can one find where it finishes...crosses all boundaries of time and thought,” sighed Sati.
