July 7, 2010

http://twitpic.com/23b8wr During a video interview with Selvanathan, he remarked that Iraivan looks like Rameswaram from this angle.

Because Self Realization must be experienced in a physical body, the soul cycles back again and again into flesh to dance with Śiva, live with Śiva and ultimately merge with Śiva in undifferentiated oneness. Yea, jīva is actually Śiva. The Vedas explain, 'As water poured into water, milk poured into milk, ghee into ghee become one without differentiation, even so the individual soul and the Supreme Self become one.' Aum Namaḥ Śivāya.

– Sivaya Subramuniyaswami
