It was written by Shankaracharya
Shankaracharya followed Advaita. It is an experience
Then why would he write hymns of Shiv
For example
Mandaakinii[5] Salila Chandana[6] -Carcitaaya,
NandiIishvara-Pramatha-Naatha-Maheshvaraaya.[7]
MandaaraPusspa-BahuPusspa-SuPuujitaaya,
Tasmai “Ma”kaaraaya Namah Shivaaya…
He talks about mandaakini and flowers etc
And then he uses the word su-pujitaya
We can say pujitay meaning worship and su- pujitay meaning good worship ! So what is su-pujitaya?
The whole shloka is a description of experiences of samadhi – AFTER the body falls lifeless
Yukteshwar could make his body lifeless at will
That is meditation.
Stop pretending
Go towards purity and achieve the higher goals. I keep reminding myself
