The Essence Of Shiva

By Abhinav Mohan

What I am is nothingness, yet nothingness is me.

I have no enemies, and I have no friends.

Everyone is me, yet I am no one.

I am nowhere to be found, yet I am everywhere.

I live in your every breath, as you live in mine.

I am death, yet death is unknown to me.

I am emotionless, yet all emotions are me.

I never asked anything, nor did I provide anything.

I am the life and soul of all creatures, yet I bring death to them. My existence is unbalanced, yet I represent balance.

I am the destruction of all things, yet through destruction, I propagate new life. I am Shiva, and Shiva is everything.
