WILLPOWER
Sati announced Her intention to go every morning to worship the ancient Shivlinga in the royal forest reserves. This became a daily ritual: She would not stop running till She reached the enigmatic Shivlinga, Her heart beating and the leaves pulsating with Her run till she arrived at the Sristi Iswara. Faster each day was the run and the pace of life, faster this divine heartbeat, the mystic crescendo that had become all -encompassing. So fast, that She would almost fall in sweet collapse at the Shivlinga. She would remain there in bliss, for hours on end, day after each passing day. Till the days turned into months and the months into a year. Her entire life itself had become an offering, Her time a rosary count.
Author Shail Gulhati adds " Not only was this her Tapasya to be united with her Lord, but also, importantly, it served as an inspiration for the rest of us, on how to translate our bhakti and love for Shiva into an incredible willpower. A willpower so strong that Shiva would give us His darshan.
