What Is the Nature of the Primal Soul?

[Guest guest]

uncreated, ever-existent Primal Soul, Siva-Shakti, creator and supreme ruler of

Mahadevas and beings of all three worlds. Abiding in His creation, our personal

Lord rules from within, not from above. Aum. Parameshvara, "Supreme Lord,"

Mother of the universe, is the eternal, sovereign one, worshiped by all the

Gods and sentient beings. So loved is Siva-Shakti that all have an intimate

relationship. So vast is His vastness, so over-powering is He that men cringe

to transgress His will. So talked of is He that His name is on the lips of

everyone—for He is the primal sound. Being the first and perfect form, God Siva

in this third perfection of His being--the Primal

Soul, the manifest and personal Lord--naturally creates souls in His image and

likeness. To love God is to know God. To know God is to feel His love for

you. Such a compassionate God--a being, whose resplendent body may be seen in

mystic vision--cares for the minutiae such as we and a universe such as ours.

Many are the mystics who have seen the brilliant milk-white form of Siva's

glowing body with its red-locked hair, graceful arms and legs, large hands,

perfect face, loving eyes and musing smile.

aspects: emanation, srishti; preservation, sthiti; dissolution, samhara;

concealment, tirobhava; and revelation, anugraha." Aum Namah Sivaya.
