world is seen as it truly is--sacred--when we behold Siva's cosmic dance.

Everything in the universe, all that we see, hear and imagine, is movement.

Galaxies soar in movement; atoms swirl in movement. All movement is Siva's

dance.

When we fight this movement and think it should be other than it is, we are

reluctantly dancing with Siva. We are stubbornly resisting, holding ourselves

apart,

criticizing the natural processes and movements around us. It is by

understanding the eternal truths that we bring all areas of our mind into the

knowledge of how to accept what is and not wish it to be otherwise. Once this

happens, we begin to consciously dance with Siva, to move with the sacred flow

that surrounds us, to accept praise and blame, joy and sorrow, prosperity and

adversity in equanimity, the fruit of understanding. We are then gracefully, in

unrestrained surrender, dancing with Siva. The Vedas state, "The Cosmic Soul is

truly the whole universe, the immortal source of all

within, cuts through the bonds of ignorance even during his life on earth." Aum

Namah Sivaya.'
