Me, My Guru – On anger of Lord Shiva!

“But we want to understand Him and hence asked this question!” some one replied.

“Only a Buddha can see that the other is Buddha. To recognise a Buddha, we need to be one ourselves. If not we end up judging them and their acts and label them as right or wrong. That’s exactly world does with Krishna, Rama, Jesus and Gandhi. How can a child ever understand why his parent denied him ice-cream when he was sick?  He may hate his parent all through his life for such of their acts and justify his feelings, but would never understand his parent and why he did it. He wouldn’t be able to see his parents love in that denial! Can he?”

We knew he wouldn’t as we had been in that ‘kids’ shoes many times.

“Everytime a parent behaves harshly in order to protect the child from harm that they perceive a child to receive either from a person, situation or this world, does that child (may be an adult now physically) understand love behind those harsh words and acts of his parents? No! Not until he/she becomes a parent, behaves so, receives the same taunt from his child and then recollects his childhood and then realizes his parents love for him. If even one link is missed here, then the person would live hating his parent to grave. Isn’t it?

How can you and I assume to understand Lord Shiva’s ways, emotions and acts ever in this or any life?”

“Then tell us what we need to know or do to undersand Him” Rahul asked.

“The day you understand Him, you become Him. Is it what you want? To become God? Do you really think you or anyone for that matter become Him? But just as a person who can forgive respects and understands the greatness and goodness of the other who does, we can also develop the divine qualities of His like forbearance, love beyond worthiness, being detached and grow above lust, greed, envy, ego, arrogance and attachments. As you drop lower nature and develop Divine qualities you’ll go in a space where you’ll develop faith (What you have now is no faith – it is just a business deal!) and love for Him. That’ll touch Him at some time (which may take janmas) and His Grace would be showered on you and then you’ll see His love in His every Act even those beyond your intellect and logic”.
