Before I begin, I’ll have to give you all a little background on what this is. A couple of days ago I had an interesting and rather a weird dream. The dream and what I could make out of it is as given below.

 

Shiva and Parvati were at their home in the Himalayas when they ended up getting into an argument and it went on to become a full-fledged fight. Shiva got irritated with Parvati and decided to move out, he left Parvati on the Himalayas and sought refuge on a different planet somewhere in this galaxy.

Shiva, the creator and the destroyer of this universe is also known for his frightening temper. He was angry with Parvati and decided to teach her a lesson. He launched an attack on earth. Parvati, who is kind, gentle and protective; is deeply attached to earth since that is after all her home. Shiva attacks earth with fire balls that were powerful enough to burn the earth to ashes (this part of my dream was complete with video-game style 3-D effects and several slow motion sequences!). Parvati does everything she can to protect the earth, she dodges every single fire ball that Shiva flung her way and did everything she could to protect it. Never did she attack Shiva, not even once, not even for defense.

After a few days of this massive attack and frustrated at not being able to strike earth even once, Shiva decided to make peace with Parvati. He returned back to their home in the Himalayas and said “Now you know who the powerful one in this relationship is.” Parvati just smiled at him and said nothing.

So this was the dream, and this is what I learnt from it:

• The protector is always more powerful than the attacker.
• It is essential to take control of your anger, when angry we end up hurting the ones we love the most.
• Be gentle, understanding and respectful like Parvati. Shiva was her husband; she loved him and respected him. No matter what he did, she never struck back, never attacked, never showed her anger or irritation and never lost her cool during the entire event.
• Shiva and Parvati are the two halfs of the same person. Only when both parts are combined can a person be complete. If we combine the gentleness of Parvati and the power of Shiva, the humility of Parvati and the confidence of Shiva, we can be unstoppable.

 

P.S.- I totally respect and admire both Shiva and Parvati, so this was in no way meant to be disrespectful.
