Strength is necessary to endure the chaos of duality: an unstable mind, a hard shell, and even avoidance. Śhiva is as solid as the great Mount Kailash where he is often found in deep meditation, leaving his seat only when absolutely necessary. He is the greatest of all yogis_having the ability to turn the bounty of spiritual practice into a fire that fuels itself.

The fire of Śhiva Consciousness comes between all opposition and inspires us to follow suit. Śhiva’s light inspires us to emulate his disciplined nature, a path only for the seeker willing to continue to the summit despite its peak never being visible. Lord Śhiva’s message is clear, “I don’t play, I will not stall, I refuse to second-guess, and I dismiss hesitation.”
