Friend,
this is the night of Shivaratri, most sublime in the Vedic year,
when Shiva weds Shakti, and Awareness merges with the Energy of
creation. Chanting Om Namah Shivaya, the embodied soul
thrills with the sensation that the whole universe is simply our personal
relationship with the Beloved. On this night of nights, please
remember that there is no need to cling to the petals. You are the jewel
at the center of the lotus. Your integrity outshines the world as
the sun outshines a hundred thousand candles. You are more magnificent
than any experience you could possibly have, because there is no Object
more beautiful than the Subject who perceives it. Repose in the divinity
of awareness. Then breathe your beauty into the earth!
