It's taking me a long time to read Swamiji's book "Shiva Sutras" because just one sentence sends me off in many realizations. I am grateful to have worked with this man. We laughed together, we were quiet together, and once we were laughing so hard that Swamiji slapped me on the back and sent me lurching forward. :) I am very lucky to have shared time with this old man and I consider him a lifelong companion, friend and guide.
It's so great to hear him speak of remembering god. In the shiva sutras he speaks of the importance of pure effort, effort that comes from ernest and pure desire--not for alterior gains (supernormal powers, etc,)... but solely for god. It's so good to hear him speak of remembering god. Islam and hinduism both highly stress remembering god. The shiva sutras can seem kind of impersonal, he helps bring them to life. Remember god with pure desire, not merely mechanical repetition. Great!
People need to know the wisdom he speaks, and not just be handed out the scriptures of kashmir shaivism, that wont do. The knowledge, the wisdom clearly needs a master, such as him, to add their own personal touch to it... because in the shiva sutras, and a lot of the scriptures, it lacks the heart, the devotional touch seen by his words. It is a fairly pragmatic philosophy, but by his words, in addition to the scriptures, it's a lot more heartful and accessible to many... please upload more!
