In plain words
Wherever you look, that alone is there.
With hands and feet everywhere, with eyes, heads and faces everywhere, with ears everywhere, That stands in the world, enveloping all.
If we enquire well and look, all that we see is Śivatva itself. Śiva does not mean merely one who wears a mass of matted hair. In a boy or in an old man, in a woman or in a man, in each and every one, Śivatva itself is dancing the tāṇḍava. How can you fix one particular form for such Śivatva! Boys and girls today dance in the name of Śiva's tāṇḍava. That is only a symbol, not the true form. We have two eyes. Śiva has a third eye as well. What is its inner meaning? We can see only these two, the Past and the Present, but we cannot see the Future. Śiva sees the future too. That is why people describe Śiva as ‘the three-eyed God’. Who can describe this principle of Śiva, beyond the reach of word and mind, beyond time! In however many ways anyone describes it, it cannot be a complete description.
All is full of Śiva
Human beings, each following their own feelings, imagine for God forms and names to match. As the feeling, so the form. As the feeling, so the quality. Yet God is there wherever you look. But He is not seen by the eye. He is immeasurable, beyond the reach of word and mind. The consciousness in all beings is itself divinity. That itself has been called ‘Consciousness’. It can take on any form: it can take the form of a dog, it can take the form of a crow, it can take the form of a crane, it can take a human form. Who can describe such divinity, saying it is like this or like that! Not in man alone: in worms, insects and the like, and in cattle, birds and beasts too, there is consciousness. That very consciousness was given the name ‘Śivatva’.
