Since many days I am searching for a job for the post of content writer. But while searching I got a question-
1. Why am I searching for the job of a content writer?
2. Can I really write any content?
3. I am still a fresher?
4. I don’t even know how to write content properly?
All these questions keep roaming in my mind. The day I got the answer to them was when I was listening to the bhajan of “Lord Shiv,” sung by Shri S.P. Balasubramanyam, whose name is Shivoham, written by Guru Shri Adi Shankaracharya.
During this time a question attracted me “WHAT DOES SHIVOHAM MEANS?” and without thinking much I sat down to write and while watching I wrote a complete storyline.
It is possible that if you read this then you will feel that everyone knows, what is new in this, we also know this. Everyone knows, everyone must have read it somewhere or the other but what is new in this-
The new thing in this is that I feel like writing but I am unable to write anything, words definitely roam in my mind but I am unable to put them on paper.
Just a few days ago I went to “Sai Baba’s” court, there I requested him –
“Hey baba I want to write a biography but the problem is that I am not able to write it, I have been trying for many days but am not able to even start. Just like you had blessed “Hemandpanth” Ji on the request of your beloved “Mahalspati” Ji that “let him do the writing, let him unite everything, when after searching you will not find even a trace of ego, then you yourself will appear in his innermost being and write your biography, and do good to the world”.
But there is no one here for me, thinking this I said to “Sai Baba” “Baba” here I am the “Hemandpath” and I am also the “Mahalspathi” I am requesting you for myself that please have mercy on me and give me blessings to write the life story of Bholenath.
Here comes the story line-
Here the meaning of shivah is “Lord Shiva” and the meaning of “aaham” is “I”.
This shlok has been written by guru adi shakracharya in which he has praised “lord Shiva” and has told the world about his virtues through this “Shivoham Shloak”.
Through this shlok Guru Adi Shanaracharya wants to tell that “Lord Shiv” is formless, he is beyond all happiness, sorrow, condemnation, feeling, hatred, anger, discrimination, high and low castes, respect and dishonour. “Lord Shiva” does not care if someone calls him a sinner, whether they believe him or not. He always stands one voice away to protect all of us.
Just call him once with love and devotion and you will see that he will immediately come and stand beside you. In whatever form he may be, whether it is a human being, animal, bird, or any living being, he will certainly come to protect you. Do not believe in what we say, you should have this faith in that supreme father supreme lord “Bhagwan Shiv” yourself, this is possible only then.
Till the time you do not believe in him yourself, you will not be able to call him. That is why believe in “Lord Shiv”, he is the protector of this world, and “Shriman Narayan” is the caretaker of this world, and “Brahma Dev” is the creator of this world. Maa “Lakshmi, Saraswati and Durga” are nature.
"VIDHI" and "PANCH-TATVA" are created by them.
This world exists because of them, we are their parts. They are our Kul Devta, Gram Devi, Kul Devi, Isth Dev as well.
