“There is Shiva tattva and
there is Shiva, the Yogi.” Said Rishi Suta
“You mean there are two?” asked Shaunaka. “Now I am really confused, Gurudeva. Please clarify.”
“There is just The One, there has always been One, and there shall always be The One only. Two is only a derivative of One. A derivative does not change the origin! The One is Shiva tattva, the universal stuff from where all things are made. From where all beings originate, including us.”
“So who is Shiva the yogi?”
“Ah!” said Suta with visible happiness as he took a deep puff of his forest pipe. “Shiva the yogi, is the highest embodiment of Shiva tattva.”
“So, you mean…”
“Yes. After the whole universe is directed by Shiva tattva, there is the entry of the director into His own play, as one of many actors in the act.”
“Oh my God, Gurudeva!” said Shaunaka. “That’s amazing! The director taking on a role as actor; that’s quite a plot on its own!”
“Isn’t it simple?” said Suta. “Why else would the director create a play like that of all life, if there wasn’t a role for Him?” As his smile widened, he added, “And that, my child, is Shiva the yogi. Not two. Still the One.”
“Amazing!” repeated Shaunaka.
“So, too, the whole world was ready to be created; a stage, waiting for Shiva’s own arrival. But there was still one problem.”
“A problem? What problem could God have?” asked Shaunaka.
“Hmm…the problem is, if you already know you are God, you already know that you can do anything , then in a subtle way, it actually lessens the potential to learn about yourself. To be predictable, lessens the play,” answered Suta.
“Ah! I wouldn’t have
thought of that, Gurudeva” said Shaunaka in bewilderment. “To be predictable
lessens the play, therefore it must follow, that to be less predictable
enhances the learning?”“You mean there are two?” asked Shaunaka. “Now I am really confused, Gurudeva. Please clarify.”

“Yes” Suta smiled, “You are beginning to understand the play of the Divine”. ~ SHIVA, The Ultimate Time Traveller. A modern story telling of Great God Shiva.available on Amazon as an E book
