Everything in the universe, all that we see, hear and imagine, is movement. Galaxies soar in movement; atoms swirl in movement. All movement is \u015aiva\u2019s dance. When we fight this movement and think it should be other than it is, we are reluctantly dancing with \u015aiva. We are stubbornly resisting, holding ourselves apart, criticizing the natural processes and move\u00adments around us. It is by understanding the eternal truths that we bring all areas of our mind into the knowledge of how to accept what is and not wish it to be otherwise. Once this happens, we begin to consciously dance with \u015aiva, to move with the sacred flow that surrounds us, to ac\u00adcept praise and blame, joy and sorrow, prosperity and adversity in equanimity, the fruit of un\u00ad\u00adder\u00adstand\u00ading. We are then gracefully, in unrestrained surrender, dancing with \u015aiva. The Vedas state, \u201cThe cosmic soul is truly the whole universe, the im\u00admortal source of all creation, all action, all meditation. Whoever discovers Him, hidden deep within, cuts through the bonds of ig\u00ad\u00adno\u00adr\u00ad\u00adance even during his life on Earth.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Meant by \u201cDancing with \u015aiva\u201d? \u015aLOKA 3All motion begins in God and ends in God.
