One day Sati asked Shiva, "Tell me how and why this Universe came into being?"
“Sati, God is formless. How does one express, or paint, or represent the formless?” How does the formless God even get to know Himself?
"How indeed?"
“It is said of me that I do not incarnate. And yet I can vouchsafe of your love that you are one who can make even Shiva manifest. That makes you an enchanting sorceress! The original Yogini , indeed!”
“Me, a sorceress! And what are you?” She asked “You, who have hypnotized the whole universe, especially me.”
“I am Shiva, the yogi, ever immersed in Shiva, the tattva. And yet… and yet, so much in love with tattva as Sati!” He sighed.
“Why do they call you a brahmchari then?” She asked teasingly.
Shiva understood that this was not actually a casual question. He had come to realise Sati’s innate wisdoms, which were often expressed in Her innocent questions; the answers to which could benefit all spiritual-seekers. “I told you, asana is only a seat for yoga, not yoga itself, so too the physical restraint of brahmcharya, is only a seat for Brahm acharya, being established in Godhead.” He replied.
“Aha, I see, but then why do I feel so
deeply in love with you, even deeper than my admiration of your spiritual Nature?” Sati persisted.
“In the beginning was the One.
And he thought, may I be two, may I be many.
To love and to be loved.
And so the universe came into being."
replied Shiva"
“Ah, lovely,” said Sati.
“Yes. And an electrifying attraction happens in love. A spiritual preceptor can also bedazzle you with one look.”
“Yes, for sure,” said Sati.
“Only later, you realise that love and spirituality run on the same current,” Shiva replied with mystic precision.
