Hey you, who is suffering due to the feelings of ‘mine’ & ‘thine’,
who has forgotten that he is Bliss Divine,
who is not just physical, but subtle & sublime,
who is the crown prince of this vast kingdom,
but has lost the awareness of his empire,
& blended it with attachment, distrust & desire,
Shivaratri is an opportune time,
when the Lord Himself descends & shines,
the light of truth, knowledge & brilliance,
to awaken & enlighten His children,
to fill the hearts with love & compassion,
to expand the idea of what is truly theirs,
to drop down the veil of ignorance,
and be able to see the magnificent beauty around,
to live in Anand & embrace one & all,
to live a life of meaning & purpose,
to be like Sun, Moon & Stars,
to be like the plants, trees & rivers,
to be like mountains & oceans,
to become Givers of such grandeur,
and be the protector of the vulnerable,
to be harbinger of a hopeful world,
where love & generosity lead the way,
where we enjoy Bliss Divine,
the hearts overflowing with piety & purity,
as we become aware of our ‘true identity’
Chidananda Rupah Shivoham! Shivoham!
