Bhagawan Nityananda: frOm sOund tO fORm ~ In the Chidakasha Gita, Bhagawan #Nityananda says: Is the sound generated from the world or is the world generated from the sound? Is the effect from the cause or the cause from the effect? The world is generated from the sound. From the sound is generated the form, and the world which has form. From the cause is the effect. Where is the cause? The cause and the effect are from the Self. Cause and effect must be the slaves of oneself. Both these are from the Self. This Self absorbs the cause and the effect and become one (indivisible). Self annihilates the Maya, which the Self creates. ~ In the Kashmir Shaivism it is said that Shiva by His own free will sends forth the universe from His own being, imparts existence to it, and again withdraws it into Himself. The creation and dissolution of the entire universe takes place within the winking of Shivas eyes. The creative power of Shiva is known as ‘Shakti’ or the divine ‘Chiti’ which is identical with Him. Through this Shakti, pure consciousness contracts and becomes everything in this world, manifesting as both subject and object. In this process, Shiva limits His powers and becomes the individual soul who forgets his own perfection. He considers himself small and sees differences between himself and the rest of the world. This is his impurity or mala. Only when he receives divine grace from a Guru in the form of Shaktipat does he turn within himself, lose his impure understanding & discover his true nature. The consciousness again expands to its original state, and the individual soul realizes his oneness with the supreme Shiva. ~ sOurce: ‘Introduction To Kashmir Shaivism” & chidakashgita.org
