YOGI ANANDA SARASWATHY COMMENTARIES

Are spiritual writings really that dry? Try this one. Jack and Jill went up the hill surely,
after Lord Shiva marries other !arvathi, they whisked off to "ailasa #ills to en$oy their
honeymoon. To fetch a pail of water yes, the %ivine ...&ouple were drawing from the 'ell
of (liss for the whole universe. )ndeed they drew *uite a lot and all for a reason. Jack fell
down. True )t was a +,, years rocking affair. (ut then, Shiva did not fall down -ecause he
was e.hausted. %espite -eing nirguna !ure &onsciouness, the saguna -it of #im added an
air of ego which he wore as a crown. )t was getting heavy.
!arvathi had to redress and manifested as "ali. (roke his crown /f course, it did not -reak
on its own, "ali smashed the ego crown out of shape and stepped on him. #e got to see her
true form as the 0niversal other. That sent #im rolling down the hills to the realms of
humility and reality. Jill came tum-ling after 'hy not? !arvathi, the Shakti was left alone.
The universe was not functioning, 1ods -egged #er. She reali2ed that there is no Shakti
without Shiva and vice3versa. %espite -eing -are purity, She clumsily came tum-ling for
Shiva. (rightness all over again4 5ou want more $okes than this, go to a comic site...4

and there is nothing e.cept #er. Thus, She is within you and me also as the source of our
su-3conscious feelings and mental thoughts. She always ha...s -een and always will -e. She
shows the way to true Love and complete surrender. 'hen the separate entity of ) disappears
and nothing else is left, there is -ut freedom and Love. )n #er, the separate entity of ) does
not e.ist apart from other. There are no two kinds of love, the physical and su-lime, one
anticipates the other. #er Love is also the first principle in living a spiritual life. That is to -e
full of love. )t is not a desire to -e this or that, escape samsara or -ecome 1od. )t is love in
the non3dual sense, the will to -e one with other Shakti not -ecause she is all3powerful
divine mother -ut -ecause She is full of love. /m Shakti
)t is your path to walk. %on7t e.pect another to follow, neither try to walk another7s path.
