ॐ नमः शिवाय

Have you ever wondered what this mantra actually means? 

What does OM mean? Om means completeness of the moment. Om means fullness. Namah means complete surrender. न-मह - nothing is mine. The understanding of 'nothing is mine' is the surrender which demolishes the Ego. Shiva is the most enlightened state of being...of ecstasy...of bliss. 

This moment is complete and full. At this moment we are complete, we do not have anywhere to go. You and I accept ourselves as we are, accept our life as it is. Let us not compare ourselves with others. Let us not compare today with yesterday, or the next day. I am unique, this day is giving me a unique experience. I am complete so is the moment. This realization, this joy means Om... ॐ

When you say Namah, realize that nothing is really yours... the house, the cars, bank balance, wife, husband, children, boy friend, parents, even your body... because nothing is consistent or stationary in your life. You are only the caretaker, a trustee for the time being. Nothing will remain forever with your soul but the knowledge, the understanding, that  you will earn in your life time. That realization is the Namah... नमः

Shivaya is the highest level of being... which complete awareness, complete understanding, total freedom from ignorance... well not that easy to explain Shiva :)

Happy chanting!

ॐ नमः शिवाय
