Lord Siva: The Ultimate Reality Poem by Tushar Ray

Lord Siva is the ocean of love, light and intelligence
That created our universe out of pure love
And being only ubiquitous self-effulgent consciousness
He is the faceless, ageless spirit of the eternal existence

He is the unmanifested conscious reality
But manifests Himself willfully for essential glory
When His potential energy becomes spontaneously kinetic
Like a hibernating snake becoming active all on a sudden

Out of His will appear souls in numerous different forms
Like the myriad of waves rise on an ocean face
Where the surface energy alters its exterior part
While underneath the surface remains the dead stillness

Existence of this universe rests on the Will of the Lord
As existence of waves rests on the reality of the ocean
Our Lord sustains creation bounded by His own laws
While Him still residing within as the witness of all

Again out of His Will the Lord withdraws this world
Going back to the inert state like a perfect calm ocean
Like a spider spinning its valued web as its living art
Withdrawing into body again for moving to other part

This is how this transient world appears to ensue
Out of the will of Lord Siva, our absolute Reality
Who resides in our body-temple as the blissful inner Soul
Steadily moving to the end reality that, “We are that”
