We are all the light of Shiva
The eternal light of self-realization is beyond sun and moon. All are that light of Śiva. Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva are one consciousness manifesting different faculties, understood only through self-knowledge. Non-dual realization ends all duality. The foundation of human consciousness is the Mūlādhāra Chakra, the seat of Gaṇeśa, representing solidity and the removal of obstacles. This foundation is stabilized by the immortal serpent pair, Nāga and Nāginī, symbolizing Śiva and Śakti. Correct placement according to Vāstu Śāstra ensures balance and protection, aligning the home with cosmic principles. Attachment is a blanket over consciousness; detachment should be natural and painless. The story illustrates the giving of the immortal mantra. Śiva revealed his mala of skulls were Pārvatī's from past lives, causing her to seek the secret of immortality. He led her to a secluded cave to impart the knowledge, but she fell asleep. A parrot repeated the responses, learning the Guru Gītā itself. Śiva pursued the parrot, which entered the womb of Vedavyāsa's wife and was later born as the sage Sukadeva.
"There is no moon and sun, and no stars. That light is beyond the sun and moon."
"Gaṇeśa is that which removes all the obstacles."
