Shiva changed poison into nectar
Śiva is Mahādeva, the light and liberation, rescuing devotees when their efforts exhaust. Realizing the Ātmā unites Jīvātmā with Paramātmā, elevating one to Mahātma and Mahādeva. The body is a box containing the precious diamond of the Ātmā. Only through the Guru is this Ātmā realized. Harmony is balance, peace, and renunciation of selfish desires. Nature embodies perfect harmony, while man-made things are imperfect. Scientific manipulation of seeds and reproduction disrupts natural harmony. Such disharmony leads to conflict and infertility. True knowledge arises from sādhanā, not external research. The Guru tunes the disciple’s inner instrument for harmony. Harmony means accepting mistakes and seeing the Ātmā in all beings. Renounce ego and desires to achieve harmony. Balance body, mind, and emotions in oneness. Jealousy, greed, and arrogance keep harmony distant. Live in friendship with nature as the Vedas instruct. Realize that Jīvātmā, Ātmā, and Paramātmā are one.
"Śiva means light. Śiva means liberation."
"Harmony means to renounce. Tyāga. Virāga."
