Acharya Prashant explains that being 'Shivmay' (absorbed in Shri Shiva) means being in a state of divine intoxication and transcendence that worldly people might mistake for unconsciousness. Shri Shiva is depicted as unconventional, indifferent to social norms, and residing with ghosts and outcasts. Unlike other deities who live in palaces or hold scriptures, Shri Shiva remains naked and unattached, symbolizing a consciousness that is beyond human grasp. His appearance with snakes, a bull, and ash is symbolic of a state that does not conform to worldly logic or expectations. He further clarifies that Shri Shiva represents the principle of dissolution rather than creation or preservation. While Brahma creates and Vishnu preserves, Shri Shiva's role is to bring an end to things when his third eye opens. To be 'Shivmay' is to have the desire for the ultimate end of the ego and worldly attachments. Acharya Prashant notes that Shri Shiva is neither on the side of the 'good' nor the 'bad'; he is simply established in himself. He is the one who challenges traditions, social orders, and intellectual pride, often symbolized by his use of a skull as a begging bowl. Finally, the speaker addresses the symbolism of the Shivalinga, explaining that 'Linga' means a symbol or sign rather than a physical organ. It represents the stillness of the center (Shiva) around which the entire universe and energy (Shakti) dance and expand. The stories of Shri Shiva, such as his interactions with sages or the competition between Brahma and Vishnu, are meant to be understood symbolically to show that the truth he represents is infinite and beyond the reach of egoistic competition or intellectual categorization.
