The Ancient Rishis of Kashmir have a saying, 'Sarvatra Bhairav" . Everywhere, is Shiva. Why do they say so? Because , everything comes from Him, and to Him it will go, this is something most people know or believe.But what we do not fully understand, is that Everything always also 'Stays' in Him . At each moment of our lives , we are actually abiding in Shiva, but we are not aware of this, we do not commonly understand this, in the way that we accept that everything comes from Shiva and will go back to Him.
But the Kashmir Shaiv Darsana : Kashmir Shaivism says, There does come a time in the life of a seeker when there is a Divine arising from within. This spiritual arising from Shiva within, is called Udhyamo Bhairav . When this happens due to years of prayer and meditation, learning and introspection, and , of course, the Anugraha- Grace of Shiva, the yogi becomes enlightened.
But the spiritual journey is not complete with just enlightenment or self realisation, it must culminate in the seeing of Lord Shiva everywhere, Sarvatra Bhairav. This is when the seeker has merged so completely into the sought, that he cannot anymore distinguish anything from His Beloved Shiva, wherever he looks he can " See" Shiva ! North, South, East, West, Here, there, up, down, everywhere!
