So Shiva is actually showing us the omnipresence. conflict starts…negative and positive get attracted towards each other… And as Satre said other is hell, why? Because other has something which we don’t have…hell is created…desire takes birth…. Now there are negative and positive… now they are not complete….so the sorrow, pain, grief. (Now omnipresence means presence of some one and how come its nothingness? Nothingness is just a better word! ) They get created out of nothingness, out of omnipresence because of the need. Now out come of NEED is Negative and positive. and through no medium one can remain in that state forever…. It’s the conflict between male and female and through this conflict they get attracted towards each other and once they meet, they get the glimpse of omnipresent…but they cant remain in that state for long because they use some medium….

Can we desire to piss? Hahaha…funny thought…but the path of words is funny…sorry for the crude example…so need is natural and beautiful, desire is ugly…what gives rise to desire? Mind gives rise to desire… why? Mind has its own existence. ( try and observe carefully…if the bladder is full we have to piss…is it a desire or need? It’s a need. dead zone…………………………… there arises a NEED! In other way round… lets approach it from the other way. Shiva when takes the form of the ardha nari nateshwara and starts dancing actually he is telling that the omnipresence is the truth. Shekhar Posted in The search for the self Post navigation Why ? I am ot sure, except consciousness exists as a result of that play. But it is not is it ? It is constantly at play. For if they were, our universe would be inert. They are counterbalancing forces never totally in harmony. In the conflict of the forces arises creativity. Male is the force of destruction and uncontrolled action (fire), and female is the force of nurturing (water). To be both male and female at the same time ? I think the representations of the words go beyond the literal meanings as used in language. But am trying perhaps not to understand as much as to get into harmony with the Tandav dance of Shiva. And through this understanding the struggle to break the structure has started. You can see universe in terms on Tandav dance of Shiva that means you are able to see the CONTRADICTIONS! you can understand the CHAOS. And since he is COMPLETE, it is very difficult to understand SHIVA. Shiva has another name ARDHA NARI NATESHWARA- half man and half woman. Tandav dance of Shiva is a dance of destruction.
