Question - Gurudev, can you please tell in detail about Shiva?
Gurudev Sri Sri - Shiva is where the mind dissolves. There is no need to go on long pilgrimages to find the Divine. Shiva is where the mind dissolves. There is no need to go on long pilgrimages to find the Divine. Be established wherever you are. If you don’t find God where you are, then it is not possible to find him elsewhere. The moment you are established, centered, you see that there is Divinity present everywhere. This is meditation. One of the names of Lord Shiva is Virupaksha - meaning one who is formless yet sees all. We know that there is air all around us and we can feel it as well. But what if the air also starts feeling us? Space is all around us, we identify space. But what if space also recognizes and feels our presence? This happens. Only we don’t know it. Scientists know this and they call it the theory of relativity. The one who sees and that which is seen are both affected when seen. The Divine is all around you and is seeing you. He doesn’t have a form. He is the formless core of existence and the goal. He is the seer, sight and the seen. This formless Divinity is Shiva. To simply wake-up and experience this Shiva tattva is Shivratri.
