SHAKTIDAN

 

SHAKTIDAN

The highest that Shivahood or power of creation can do for a man, is to give him spiritual insight, Shaktidan. Where is this Shakti? Inside you, it can be met at the transcendental level during meditation. And where are you? inside Shakti (Nature) at the manifest level. This is to be noted. Although you constitute a minuscule part of Shakti manifest, Shakti as the source, is present in you; a Universe in every atom! She is waiting to be known, more appropriately, re-discovered, by the eternal meditator. What constitutes the process of spiritual transference to the eternal meditator? Seers, saints, rishis, munis are the Uncles and Aunts. Shiva is the father and Shakti (Nature) is the mother, of young Shakti. They all participate. But to bestow Shakti upon mankind, this is Swayamvara, a process of natural selection. Thus, the essential role, is to be friend Shakti herself; or, the striving must come from within, a self effort on the part of the seeking man.
