I have always been interested in the concept of the void- the place where it all started. Creation I mean.This field of infinite possibilty thrilled me and everyday when I sat for my meditation I longed to have an experience of the Void.
But then something happened that made me realize that just focusing on the Void was only one part of my divine expereince. I read somewhere that in a movie called City of angels, all the angels vie for a chance to be born as a human so that they can have this unique experience.They are even willing to enjoy all the suffering the human experience is capable of!.
The perfect foil to the experience of the Void was - creation.And the most challenging of all Gods creation is of course the human!
That got me into enjoying each moment of my human life- the tears and joys, the ups and downs.That's why we are all here. To experience all the possibilities the Void offers in the manifest form. What use is the void or how can we be aware of this great emptiness unless we exprience its opposite?
Shiva needs Shakthi or His ego to know Himself.The Void needs creation to be complete.
The recipie for bliss ? celebrate your human existence as if there were no tomorrow,while all the while being aware that you are actually Shiva enjoying all these experiences.
Love only like a human can love, cry, laugh ,walk on the beach, play with your children.Stop to smell the roses.
The next time you curse your life, just remember many other beings out there are looking at you with envy, just because you have the great good fortune to be born as a human! Enjoy your divinity but in the midst of that don't forget to enjoy your humanness.
Happy living!
