Source of Bliss - Lord Shiva

July 22, 2007

Shiva is known also as Ishwara, the repository of all the resources

essential for prosperity. The most important resource is Jnaana

(spiritual wisdom). Three kinds of Jnaana are demarcated: Jeevaprajna

(concerning the individualised divine), Ishwaraprajna (concerning the

cosmic manifestation of the divine) and the Aathmaprajna (concerning the

universal absolute of which the individual is the temporary-particular).

This is also mentioned in some other texts as Deha-Prajna, Jeeva-Prajna and

Aathma-Prajna, but, the meaning of the words is the same as in the other list.

Ishwara confers the Aishwarya of Jnaana. He is also known as Shankara, and sages

have experienced Shiva as conferring Sam or auspiciousness of all kinds,

happiness in all ways. Shiva is eternally auspicious; He does not come embodied

in other forms, with other names,as often as Vishnu. So, He is not described as

Shri Shiva or Shri Shankara or Shri Ishwara. Shri is inherent in His very person

and so it is superfluous to add Shri to His name.

When you realise Shivoham (I am Shiva), then, you have all the

happiness, all the auspiciousness that there is. Shiva is not to be

sought on the peak of a distant range of mountains, or in some other

special place. You must have heard that sin and merit are inherent in

the acts that men do; so too, Shiva is inherent in every thought, word and deed,

for He is the energy, the power, the intelligence that is behind each of them.

All energy, power and intelligence are in you; you need not search for them

outside yourselves. God who is manifesting as time, space and causation is in

you; why then do you feel weak and helpless? Man is tossed about by his

ambitions and the craving to fulfil them. But, he must first know where he

stands and where he should decide to reach.Now, his efforts are wanton and

wasteful.

He is an expert in mathematics, but, unable to do a small sum in arithmetic. He

has mastered algebra, but unable to measure the area of his home. He knows

botany, with all its Latin names; but, ask him about the uses to which the

common Thulasi plant and its leaves can be put; he has no answer. He has

mastered all the physical exercises taught to him; but, he is helpless when

asked to sit in Padhmaasana. He can talk loud and long on Moksha and of its

being the final goal; but, he does not know that he is already free; he imagines

himself as bound and behaves as such.

Shiva is in all beings and all things. He is the inner motivator. Be

aware of this always; do not cause pain to any one, do not harm or

injure anyone, or hurt his self-respect. Love all alike, cultivate

tolerance and spread brotherliness.

Namaste Prasanna Kumar I thank you for this post it is quite sobering, seeing that you refuse to entertain negativities I think it would be best for me to take my leave of you as I have no intention of letting anyone hurt me, my family or my religion. I would die for Lord Shiva as I have promised this to him. I fail to see how Shiva is in everyone yet heis killing those that worship him so that some Islamists and Christians can gainpolitical, economic and social control over those that worship and serve him, hemust be a very disturbed God indeed !Oh one more thing, ponder on the fact that Shiva is called Unmatta Bhairava and Krodha Bhairava, I guess it must be all that bliss and love he spreads.
