Nataraja

Contrary to common thought, divinity is found in the disorderly free enjoyment of being and being.

Control, at first, brings order, but order restricts freedom, and freedom is the key to divinity.

It is with an eternal dance that Shiva sustains the Universe.

It is in impermanence that Buddha finds the permanent state of nirvana.

Just as a vehicle needs a push to gain movement, a practitioner needs control to condense his thoughts.

However, if such force continues to be applied, the constant acceleration will cause the vehicle to lose control and will inevitably crash.

Therefore, after overcoming inertia and established movement, it is extremely important that control be abandoned, that the practitioner surrender to the divine will and flow with the wind, just as Shiva dances to maintain universal balance.
