Folks,
Hari Om! Namaste!!
Lord Shiva and Shridevi (a.k.a Shakti) are the divine couple who are eternally united as One. There is absolutely no difference between them. Then, why do we perceive them to be different? This is the exact question we are trying to answer in this post. Well, we will tell that- not by a long article; neither by a story. Got an idea! Yes, by a conVerse!
We offer this conVerse at the lotus feet of Lord Shiva and Shridevi. Taste it and understand it. Enjoy and have fun! Shall we begin our conVersation now? OK.
Ocean and river: what is the difference?
one is still and the other is moving!
one is seated and the other set free
But, both are water, which is same! || 1 ||
Shiva and Shakti: what is the difference?
one is still and the other on the move!
one is seated and the other is free
But, both are same, the divine Force! || 2 ||
When water is still, in a vast space
You call it an ocean, the same water!
When water is flowing, in a stream
You call it a river, the same water! || 3 ||
When Force is potent, in a vast space
You call it Shiva, the same power!
When Force is flow, in a rapid current
You call it Shakti, the same power! || 4 ||
Then:
What is the root, of all this difference !?
Name and form, that brings us difference
Word and view, what makes it different!
Know in real! They are One and same
Just like You, and the God you pray! || 5 ||
Got the message of non-duality? Fine!
Om Namah Shivaya ||
