Lord Bhole Shankar descended at Avantikaapuri Ujjain to bestow salvation to the saints; Salutations to Ultimate Omnipresent Omniscient Almighty for eradicating all paucities from life.
As long as you are worshipping Shiva, the deity stone is the Shivling. The Shivling becomes a stone, the day you stop worshipping. Do not go by these literal words, rather try to understand the deeper meanings of these expressions. We comprehend the basic sense only by delving deeper. The words or languages are not important. The basic essence is the most significant element. The dynamics of the entire creation are subject to the emotions, not just yours or mine. The planets in the solar system are under the influence of attraction among each other; and have been revolving around each other, from times immemorial, and will continue till eternity, without stopping for any single moment. Thus the cosmic science is also based on emotions, and this entire world is also related to the same basic spirit of emotions. Every living creature on the earth – humans, animals, birds are all subject to this spirit of emotion.
That is why I said Shiva is Shiva as long as you are worshiping Him. The day you stop worshiping Him, It will turn into a stone. The stone that you worship in the form of Jyotirlinga, to fulfill all your wishes-desires, that Jyotirlinga will become a stone as soon as your feelings get corrupted. Then It becomes a mere stone for you, and you are at liberty to consider It as Jyotirlinga or as a mere stone. Nobody can force you to believe that It is a Jyotirlinga or a mere stone, you are free to believe whatever you wish to. The process of belief is dependent on the resonance of your emotions, the center of your thoughts, and their alignment with your beliefs on Jyotirlinga. You will certainly get attracted if these thoughts are in complete harmony with each other. The believers of Buddha had similar harmony, the believers of Jesus have the same harmony, the believers of Prophet, Mahaveer and Guru Nanak share the same harmony; and believers of Mahakaal Shiva also have the same harmony. The strings of emotions and the sequence of thoughts are connected to each other, resulting in complete belief. This makes people visit the holy city of Mahakaal again and again. No believer can forget Him for ten years. Whenever they get an opportunity, they visit the holy city.
These harmonious resonating circuits are deeply connected with each other. It is really impossible to forego any opportunity to visit. A mental turmoil stirs within if we don’t go. The absence of such mental turmoil signifies a lack of this harmonious resonance, it means that something is still not connected fully. Anyone fully connected cannot stop himself from visiting. It is impossible to stop if this is the most important festival of the year if this is the most significant day of His deity. No shackles are strong enough to stop him. He will certainly reach. The more he visits, the more harmonious the relationship will be, the deeper the connections will become, and the deeper the resonance will vibrate. In reality, you can comprehend the fathoms, only by reaching those depths and connecting with them. So, you should continue to visit, till you attain the depths, till you achieve the perfect harmony.
Sadgurudev is the universal authority on Tantra. He never left us. You will continually sense His divine presence if your harmonies are connected to Him. He makes the accomplishment of Siddhis as simple as anything else. Tantra is the root of life and governs the entire life. Tantra is the most sacred, enlightened and energized element in the universe. We can destroy all toxicities from our life using the pure essence-consciousness of Tantra. Therefore, we can be liberated from black magic, enemy obstacles, sorrows and problems through Sadhanas, Diksha, worship, blessings, and consecration on the most glorious spot of Tantra in the presence of the greatest Tantra scholar, and achieve Shiv Parivaarmaya Riddhi-Siddhi yukt Shubh-Labh Lakshmimay life.
May the greatest festival of Shivaratri enhance the divine light in your life,
I wish for such blessings for you all
Your own,
Vineet Shrimali
