Matted Locks


Like mother like child

Theeyinum Veyyan Punalinum Thanniyan
Aayinum Isan Arularivar Illai
Seyinum Nallan Aniyannal Anbarkku
Thayinum Nallan Tazhsadaiyane
Shiva - Consciousness of the person who has flowing matted locks of hair, is ancient. He is hotter than fire and cooler than water. He is the essence of both. But yet none know the grace of the Lord. He is more benevolent than an innocent child and beloved to the one with a good
heart. His love is more than that of a mother. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

"His love is more than that of a mother" - I am reminded of Thayumanavar. We can only describe Shiva in such an indirect way - greater than this or that. Shows how inadequate any expression of the nature of Consciousness is.Lovey sloka and picture.
