Once upon a time, a MAN entered this world – through a SEED.
He saw only 3 PEOPLE – a mother, a father and a teacher.
The MOTHER sacrificed all she had, to bring him up. Later in life, he achieved more than what she had given him. The mother was at the root of all his successes. The mother was his माता – MATHA.
The FATHER taught him about life from his life experiences. Later in life, he became more successful and knowledgeable than his father. The father was at the root of all his achievements. The father was his पिता – PITHA.
The TEACHER taught him about the intricacies of life. Later in life, he started “research”. The student started to know more than what the teacher had taught him. The teacher was at the root of all his inventions and discoveries. The teacher was his गुरू – GURU.
One day, he grew up beyond his achievements, inventions, discoveries and the glory that he gained out of his success – all of them faded away with TIME. The seed now started germinating and all of them at his root appeared as his GOD. They were at the root of the man himself. They became his தெய்வம் – DEIVAM.
With this divinity nurtured in Him, one day, he met a WOMAN. He fell for Her and she accepted Him. They “united” to become ONE – never ever did they see a difference in this world – not even between them – there was no difference in THEIR world – there was only ONE world.
He started his life with a MOTHER and later met another MOTHER to nurture Him.
In ancient India, any woman was given her due respect and was called அம்மா – AMMA.
The nature which nurtures is called a MOTHER – தாய்.
The KNOWLEDGE – विध्या that He gained was from His GODDESS सरस्वती – SARASWATHI.
The knowledge rewarded him WEALTH which was His GODDESS लक्ष्मी – LAKSHMI.
He met his wife पार्वती – PARVATHY and they united to become ONE. He united with Her as ARDHANAREESWARA (the Lord with a half- female form) and he turned into SHIVA – शिवा
When He pursues knowledge he is ब्रह्मा with his consort सरस्वती
When He gains wealth he is विष्णु with his consort लक्ष्मी
WOMAN was created to nurture MAN & MAN was created to protect WOMAN.
When they take CARE of each other, both of them become a WOMAN.
When they GUARD each other, both of them become a MAN.
When they TEACH each other, both of them become a TEACHER.
When they guide each other, both of them become a FATHER.
When they nurture each other, both of them become a MOTHER.
They “unite” to become ONE – Their spirits become ONE.
So, who are YOU? 🙂
Dedicated to all my Mothers 🙂
