Thank you for answering my query which I questioned in my post -
And Thank you again for justifying my post -
Thank You, I experienced you and I witnessed myself as an part and parcel of you. You cannot be describe thus someone called you Aatma, Bhrahman, Supreme Soul, Cosmic energy, Chi Energy, Budhatva (Buddhahood), God, Father, Kundalini activation, science called it as atom (Godly Particle) which is divided into Protons (Plus/Inhale/Birth), Electron (Minus/Substract/Exhale/Death) and Neutron (be Neutral, be Observer, Zero State/ Consciousness - ((normal consciousness) + (supreme consciousness(universe))) etc.
Shiva is a riddle, which is the ultimate true for every living being.
I witnessed with my every breath prana enters inside my nostrils with air and merge with prana within my body, which is consciousness which is actual me and it is spread / flowing on each and every part of our body. It is behind my 5 sense because of which my 5 sense functions (my senses are horses of a chariot (body) and driver is me (consciousness/aatma)).
Bhasma represent prana which is spread and rubbed over body.
Damru represent breath with every breath we inhale ((Prana enters), (life)) with every exhale (Prana exits), (Death)) between inhale and exhale there is a pause i.e. during turn it is nameless (stay in present) - life / consciousness / actual you / (present between past and future).
Trishul (3 nadis - Ida, Pingla and Sushumna in center) reprenst kundalini activation through your spinal code (stick/bottom part of trishul) when both Ida and Pingala are balanced Sushumna nadi gets activated (i.e. energy raised upwards from you bottom first chakra to topmost 7th chakra)
Shiva's Third eye represent activation of third eye (Pinal gland). (Thus we apply vibhuti in mandir (which represnt human body) on our forehead.
Ganga on Shiva's head (jatha (folded hairs)) represent energy, cosmic energy rising upward and his Sahasrara Chakra (सहस्रार) is opened.
Nag (Snake) around his neck indicate vikar/poison/impurities around us, which try to overcome us in this dealing world. Vikars are all around us, we need to identify our trueself by remaining untouched by them, just like a lotus being untouched by liquid around it.
etc. (Still much to decode from the shiva's picture/form, we can still try to decode it by entering within deeper and by increasing awarness (being in present) (accepting truth as it is, without getting ourself under maya (Vikar)
This is a true knowledge path (Gyaan Yog / Gyaan Marg), which is difficult as we need to overcome maya (bhav sagar) using nauka (boat) (instrument/resource) to overcome this sea. Nauka/Boat/ is any resource like breathing or any of the sensual organ, using which you can experience or witnessed the driver/true-self/consciousness.
Gyaan mark is difficult, where a soul know the ultimate truth through his/her own experience. Here, it is unicity, one. (soul is part and parcel of super soul. it is one no duality)
Bhakti marg (Devotion) is little easy, as devotee achieve same state or same energy level by connecting him/her with God (name anything), it savors the taste of nectar without knowing the actual truth or science behind it. His/her chitta becomes nirmal. Here, there is duality 2 entities, devotee and God.
Only a Gyaani can conclude Aham Brahmasmi, Bhakta cannot.
Saints and Messengers etc. come under bhakta category (I don't want to name any and trigger any mind with vikar (Maya))
Yogis come under Gyani category (Buddha, Mahavir, Guru Nanak many names are unknown there are many who rested in consciousness in silence without getting untouched by maya or kept maya away, without getting in unnecessarily controversies.)
Gyaani (Self Realized person / Awakened Soul) and Bhakta witnessed the truth and wished everyone should enjoy this nectar (Metta bhavna, Karuna, Compassion) so they started teaching it and they believe in Dharma and Adharma (i.e. good and evil) but there followers created new Dharma under their teachings and named it with their name. There is some slight difference in teachings to witnessed the ultimate truth. Today people forgot or do not even know the true goal of the religion which they follow. If saying yourself of A, B, C etc. religion makes you happy or comparison hurts your sentiment then you are not on path of religion. Religion is pure and it essence, true nature is to bring peace and harmony in a person life, who follow the Dharma Path (Religion).
Religion is pure it cannot be tagged/named as A religion, B religion and so on. Comparison is an impurity (vikar/maya) which is again a characteristics of Adharma as it makes us unstable by disturbing our mind. (I am touching something deep, where some minds under influence of maya will get triggered with anger, just observe it, observe who is observing the self (observing the self is a true religion (human principle to know the self))).
There is only Dharma (Religion) and Adharma (Irreligion), religion/Dharma is a set of all good deeds or principles, following or applying it brings peace and harmony in life. Whereas, Irreligion/Adharma is a set of vikars (MAYA) which keeps living beings thirst, the more you drink it, the thirst increases as it act as a fuel in fire.
Gyaani witnesses (Aham Brahmasmi (“अहं ब्रह्मास्मि”)) :-
Consciousness merges in super consciousness(Anant/Limitless/Formless)
Soul is part and parcel of super/supreme soul.
Aatma, Paraatma main villin ho gayi.
Nothing (consciousness/soul/aatma) (0) Energy + Nothing (supreme consciousness/supersoul/paraatma) (0) Energy = Nothing (0) Energy- Wordless - (Honey bee collect honey from different flowers and collect it her beehive (honey bee's comb), you cannot differ honey in beehive, it becomes one honey mixed with honey collected from all flowers) (Just like different rivers entering/merging sea (nadiya, sagar main villin ho jati hain))
Soul in a body can be understand with an below example :-
A glass of pure water when mix with any substance (salt/sugar).
Here a glass of water represents our body with mind and salt/sugar represent consciousness, which mix or overcome all water, as long as salt/sugar is there in water, water has taste which represent life.
Tagged/Named Religions represent brand name put on water bottle, brand name is not important but water is important to quence the thirst.
Bhagavad Geeta/Gita (भगवद्गीता) – The Divine Song of God - is a universal truth for every soul, it is religious (Dharma) book which do not belong to any tagged/named Religion - (if you try to name/tag pure religion, then again your mind is under maya/impurities (mera-tera)). It is a guide book, where the yogeshwar shri Krishna shared his experience he was aware, awakened). If we read it we understand truth at intelligence level (buddhi ke starr pe).
Bhagavad Geeta/Gita are available from different Authors.
Authors like A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada are bhakta of Shri Krishna, so they translated it under the vison of bhakti and promoted bhakti yog/marg.
Authors like Swami Adgadanand Ji Maharaj, Astavakra are Gyanni, so they translated the truth directly as it is.
My effort was just to share my experience and wish everyone experience it within by first knowing/understanding it at their intelligence level. If I triggered any mind with maya as it is a nature of mind (markat mann/monkey mind), I fold my hand and say sorry with my heart, hope this will feed your aaham bhav (false ego, which is temporary but almost all of us are driven by it through out the life till end, during death time i.e. the moment we experience this truth but Game Over, so enjoy life in awareness.)
Experience it do not follow any one for this experience, as if someone explains you everything as it is, still this truth or knowledge will be at your intelligence and not your own experience. Go inside, you will get all your questions answered.
You are a lamp, light within you make you glow brighter then light from other lamp.
Light your own Lamp.
