You are my true replica. I tell you this out of all love for you. Your question is very useful to all the worlds. So far none has questioned Me like this," said Shiva. Here, think over the matter carefully. Why did Parvati question Shiva like this? She wanted to know from Shiva what She didn't know. But Parvati is His better half. She and He are not separate. It is inconceivable to think Parvati as being ignorant of what Shiva knows. Then why did She question Him? In our epics we come across similar strange incidents. Great saints curse one another. Of course, Narada is well known for kicking up rows. The question naturally arises as to how such people could be considered great saints and sages. Here you have to understand the universal secret. If a man sacrifices at one place, another is redeemed at another place. No redeeming takes place without sacrifice. If two saints curse each other, it amounts to sacrificing their power of penance. Consequently, somebody is redeemed. To this end, Supreme Lord arranges the drama of these curses. If these saints don't possess such an anger, this cycle of universe can't move. Thus the reaction of the great saints, their rage and curses are for the good of the world. Equally strange are the marriages of great saints and their progeny. It is because of their urge to benefit the whole world. Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Messenger http://im.
