Casmirshavism is extraordinarily complex. But anyway, that's what they're saying, this entire universe is the play of shiva. What is shiva? Consciousness? Cid villas, the play ofShiva,. The fifth nation is appearance in consciousness. Just like the snake appears in the rope by an error. Chid vivarta means the the cause appears as the effect without being actually changed into the effect. It's more like the colorless sky, which appears blue when you look out there. Nothing has changed. It just looks like that.
"I, the One, illumine this body and also reveal this universe. Therefore, mine is all this universe or indeed nothing is mine." Inspired by this verse from the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on the nature of the Self.
