It is so that in the search for truth,
I got myself tangled in comparisons between you two
That made me question my beliefs in you
How they told you are inferior, He is the only truth.I thought, do I feel happy if someone says You are the Only Truth?
I think no, because it is demeaning you too.
You two are the same and one, eternal lovers and companions
How can they separate the soul?Devotion they preach, ecstacy they feel, when they break you two
And I feel low, without an answer, as to what is the truth?
When you compare, you break
When you make them One, you see how they love each other
How I want to be in each of You,
And I see myself happy with You two
Together, as One, not in the debate of being Superior.|Shiva and Krishna are the same, Shiva and Rama are the same, Shiva and Vishnu are the same. No one is inferior, or superior. I came across many texts where people expressed Krishna as the Superior, and Shiva as someone"less than God". Why? Are they not the same? Shiva is a devotee and friend of Krishna, and Krishna is a devotee and friend of Shiva.
Still, the thought lingers. Why do they break them? I also read once that Shiva is superior to Krishna! How? They are the same! When you compare, you break them apart! They are meant to be a part of each other, as I am a part of God, as you all are, and as God is residing in me. Shiva, Shakti, Vishnu– they all have made us, they are nourishing us, and will help us get mukti. Can we see them as the One and Same?~|
Still, I am not wise enough to know the complete truth. If you feel I have missed something, which is so expected, say me, enlighten me.
