Bhavesh's Tryst

I am not well. There is slight fever and pain in the body. I cannot write an exhaustive blog today, but there has to be ‘something’ on the platter. I am, therefore, serving you the soup for your soul. Light but nutritious! This is my salutations to the primordial couple, Lord Shiva and Mother Shakti, the reason for the manifest Universe. It was the end of the process of Creation. He created the Cosmos, the Universe and the Life. He had no further task to do and just stood naked as He always used to live before the manifestation. He loved nudity as He was accustomed to live in absolute privacy. He was all alone. This was not the case now after the creation of duality. He was however unmindful that He can no longer live and revel in His naked aloneness after Creation. He was also innocently oblivious that He was standing right before His lady love ‘Shakti’. Ladies have a unique character. She is ashamed to see you nude. You might be naked in some intimate and private moments in your conjugal life. It is however intriguing to see that the lady love puts you under the cover as she is ashamed to see your nudeness. The same happened with Him. Shakti, seeing Him naked, took Him in Her laps and covered Him with Her shawl. He therefore lives eternally hidden from our eyes in the serene lap of Shakti, the great ‘Maya’ Principle When He sees you in ‘attire’, He feels ashamed to come out from the mystical cover of ‘Maya’ in nudeness. You can only see Him, if you are also nude, if you strip all your attires: physical, emotional and intellectual. This is the only condition to have His blissful ‘darshan’. Shakti, after seeing you naked, feels ashamed, leaves the Lord alone and goes in her privacy. It is now you and your Lord. This is how you should approach the Lord like a naked innocent child. He is right there to bless you with His mystical presence. The Big question is: Can you be naked, can you be empty? Maya will lift Her siege only when you are ‘nude’; only when you are ‘vacant’.
