Nothingness 🕉️

 1:55 am

I often complain about the emptiness in my life. But today my perspective has changed. As I watched a spiritual video and learned about Kaal Bhairav, who is an avatar of Lord Shiva and is perhaps known as the most terrifying form.  You will see in many temples that Kaal Bhairav is established outside the garbhgrih and inside is Lord Shiva. And Kaal Bhairav is considered the deity of time and space, controlling all of that. Interestingly, we go beyond time and space every day... do you know how? In sleep. That is where the void exists. Every day, we get closer to Lord Shiva. In short, to reach Lord Shiva, you have to travel beyond time and space. There isn't much difference between sleep and meditation; it's just about being asleep or awake. That's why the structure of the temple indicates that to reach Shiva, you have to go through Kaal Bhairav. But the question arises, if everyone can reach there, then does everyone meet Lord Shiva? No... there is a vast difference between sitting idle and reaching the void; for this, you won't find anything on the ground. Only through worship and meditation will you be shown the path to the void, which transcends time and space. The only difference is that when I attain that void, I won't feel restless because then Lord Shiva himself will show me the way.

शिव का यह संबंध शून्य और ख़ालीपन से इसलिए है क्योंकि उन्हें अनंत और अखंड रूप में देखा जाता है। यह उनका दर्शन इस बात का प्रतीक है कि असली वास्तविकता, जो कि सभी भावनाओं, विचारों और समस्याओं से परे है, वही “शांति और मुक्ति” का स्रोत है।
