RE: How Is Our Soul Identical With Siva 1

[Guest guest]

Jivas from their bondage. (2) The higher form is called Parapara. In this form

Siva appears as Siva and Sakti (Ardhanarisvara). It has the name Param-Jyoti

(Supreme Infinite Divine Light/ Supreme Consciousness). Brahma and Vishnu were

not able to comprehend this Jyoti. (3) Beyond these two forms is the Param, or

the ultimate being from whom Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra originate. It is purely the

Saiva form. It is formless. It is the Sivam of the Saiva Siddhanta. It is Para

Brahman of the Upanishads and Vedantins. “Everything is the manifestation

of

Lord Siva. Siva is Narayana, Brahma, the four Vedas, the holiest, the oldest,

the perfect. Though Siva is all these, He is none of these. He is without name,

without birth, death or disease. He is at once the transcendent and immanent.

“Love of Lord Siva must be felt and manifested. Sing. Pray. Worship. Weep.

Dance. Lord Siva is the music or melody in the song, the sweetness in the

fruit, the thought in the mind, the lustre in the eyes. He is neither male nor

female. He is without dimensions. “Subdue the senses.

Practise regular meditation. Practise Chariyai, Kriyai, Yoga and Jnana. Practise

regular meditation. Develop dispassion (Vairagya). Transcend the three bodies.

Unite the individual soul with the Supreme Soul or Lord Siva. You will attain

eternal bliss and immortality. You can behold Lord Siva if you look for Him

with the light of wisdom issuing forth from the wick of life, fed with the ghee

of meditation, in the lamp of the mind, within the house of your body.

“Plough with truth. Plant the seed of desire for knowledge. Weed out falsehood.

Irrigate the mind with the water of patience. Supervise your work by looking

within or introspection and self-analysis. Build the fence of Yama and Niyama or

right conduct and right rules. You will soon attain Sivanandam or eternal bliss

of Siva. “Regard your body as the temple of Lord Siva, your mind as the

worshipper, truth as purity which is necessary for worship, the jewel of the

mind as the Linga, love as the ghee, milk, etc. Perform Puja to Lord Siva thus.

Lord Siva cannot be obtained without making the mind one-pointed and meditation

on the Panchakshara.” May you all follow the precepts and teachings of

Sri Appar and attain the Siva-Pada (Holy Feet of Siva), the immortal abode of

eternal bliss! Tivaram ( by Sri Appar IV. 76.4. ) This body is the

temple and the wayward mind a bondsman, Truth is the incantation and the heart

chimes the peals, Vibrating in praise of the symbolic form in formless Lingam;

Immersed in milk and ghee and the waters of devotion, Thus do we offer our

soulful worship to the Lord within.

is not within all, Soul is within all which is different because each human has

their own acquired habits. See one self in all things means seeing things

with our original qualities - Knowledgeful, Purity,Peace, Love, Happiness,

Bliss and Powers. Saying that God is in all things is sin.It is an insult to

God. Do we have the guts to tell our Boss that he is Dog, he is waste in the

waste basket, he is the dirty water, he is the foolish person etc., Our soul

is identical with God Shiva by means of our original qualities - Godly

nature.Once we get rid of the 5 vices of lust, anger, greed, ego and

attachment, we can regain our origiunal nature which is similar to God's

nature. "The one controller (soul of human being), the inner Self (soul) of all

things (living things), who makes His (Soul's) one form

manifold (to the original nature), to the wise who perceive Him ( perceive soul

of Qualities equal to God's qualities) as abiding in the soul, to them is

eternal bliss--to no others."
