God is Endless
The infinite radiance of Śiva pervades all universes, endless and beyond imagination. Our limited being is fundamentally one with this limitless Śiva consciousness, present in every atom of creation. The individual soul is like a drop destined to merge with the ocean of Śiva. This realization frees one from the cycles of birth and death governed by cosmic law. Various energies, physical and subtle, affect the body and mind, just as poison affects one person but not another. Only Śiva, or the Guru who embodies that principle, can consume such poison and bestow the purifying nectar of grace. This divine blessing, the Guru's caraṇāmṛta, cleanses all accumulated energies and karma. Through sādhanā and surrender at this holy place, one can consign all karma to the sacred fire of transformation, allowing it to be utterly burned away.
"The difference between the ocean and this drop is a hand. This drop will fall into the ocean. The jīvā becomes Śiva."
"But hope is that walking stick from the cradle to the grave."
