The Nature Of God Siva

[Guest guest]

that fills people from within out. In Saivism we become strong, we become

fearless, through our worship of Siva. Members of the Saiva Samayam, the

Saivite religion, do not fear death, for they know about rebirth. Members of

the Saiva Samayam do not fear an eternal hell; there is no eternal hell.

Members of the Saiva Samayam do not fear their ministers, their priests, swamis

or gurus. Members of the Saiva Samayam do not fear God. The lack of fear,

therefore, makes you strong. Our saints tell us in the sacred hymns of the

Tirumurai that the worship of Siva makes you strong. The worship of God Siva

brings you intelligence. The worship of God Siva will bring you knowledge of

your divine, inner Self. Remember this as you go forth in life: we do not use

weapons in our religion. We follow the path of nonviolence,

noninjury to other beings. Our only weapon is our mind, our intelligence.

Unfortunately, in some, though not all, of the Judaic/Christian sects, the fear

of God is prevalent. The distinction between good and bad, heaven and hell, is

predominant, causing fears, apprehension and deep mental conflict. Hence, this

psychological set-up is not conducive to the practice of yoga, for it

arbitrates against the very idea of oneness of man and God which the yogi

seeks. Those who have been so indoctrinated often try to meditate, but

necessarily do not succeed in its deepest attainments, because of subconscious

barriers placed there by a dualistic philosophy.
