When Shiva opens His Third Eye


THE DESTROYER

“Now, tell me”, said the Yogi, “how am I supposed to destroy the world?”

By opening your third eye, wherever you shift your gaze then, turns to ashes.” Answered the snake.

“Mythologically” , said the Yogi. “ Now, listen to the philosophy. At the personal level, the destruction of illusions, makes the meditator enlightened. This is the opening of Gyan Chakshu, this is the whole path of the yogis! The gaze of the discriminating mind destroys wrong previous concepts and illusions. Whatever scriptures such a man reads, he interprets rightly, whatever situation he encounters, he understands. The mind of spiritual discrimination destroys falsehood and delusion.
At the transpersonal or cosmic level, I am a paradox however. My capability is to destroy the whole cosmic play. But, if I use only half my power, to destroy the destructive processes themselves, verily, I become the course for expansion. So using half your power doubles your strength. It also takes double your strength to use half your power. Meditate upon this!”, said the Yogi.



            Destruction, paving the way for creation. I understand, said the snake. Like the defrost button in a refrigerator, enables us to defrost the frozen zones, leaving the other, major portions infact. Destruction, paving way for creation. It is obvious now, that although your symbol, the Shiv linga is a symbol of creation, they still call you the destroyer, this is paradox.
          "Yes", said the yogi, you are learning to cut through the paradox.
