SHIVA IS THE HIGHER SELF WHO SLAYS THE PRIDEFUL EGO, (DAKSHA), FOR THE SAKE OF THE HEART, (SATI). THROUGH MEANS OF INFINITE COMPASSION, THE HIGHER SELF FORGIVES THE EGO BUT NEVER THE LESS WITHDRAWS TO A SECLUDED PLACE WITH ONLY THE ESSENTIAL NATURE OF THE HEART LEFT INTACT. THIS ESSENTIAL NATURE OF THE HEART IS THE POWER OF LOVE WHICH WILL BE BROUGHT TO LIFE AGAIN, IN ANOTHER FORM.- SHARON GANNON
