SHIVA CREATES FROM HIS THIRD EYE

 

SHIVA CREATES FROM HIS THIRD EYE

Lord Shiva has two eyes just like us, with which He sees the sky,

the mountains, trees, birds , dogs, cats, and people- the same way we do. He also sees things like buildings, cars, chairs, tables , books and toys with these two eyes. We can see so many things with our two eyes!

But can we see ourself with our two eyes? No we cannot, unless we are in front of a mirror. So, Shivji keeps a third eye in His forehead, with which He can see Himself.

How wonderful to be able to see yourself, isn’t it?

But here's the real magic:

Shiva actually creates the whole Universe from His third eye, and this Universe, having come from Him, is essentially the same as Him. So when Shiva looks at the Universe, it is as if God is taking a selfie!

Therefore, the ancient rishis tell us, our role is to be mindful of our great origin, and let that awareness guide our motives, thoughts and actions.

Aum Namah Shivaye.
