Answer in Details
I understand your pain and confusion. According to Lord Shiva's teachings, attachment and desire are the roots of suffering. Lord Shiva, often depicted in deep meditation, teaches us the value of letting go and seeking inner peace rather than clinging to the world and its impermanent relationships.When Parvati sought Shiva, she underwent great penance and self-transformation. Likewise, Shiva teaches us to focus inward, to find completeness within ourselves, rather than relying on others for our happiness. The pain you feel is a result of attachment and longing. Shiva’s path is one of detachment (vairagya) and surrender.
To move forward:
- Practice meditation and self-reflection, as Shiva does in his meditative form.
- Chant Shiva's mantras, like "Om Namah Shivaya," to find solace and clarity.
- Accept the impermanence of relationships; everything in the world changes, as shown by the cycles of destruction and renewal in Shiva’s cosmic dance (Tandava).
- Seek your own transformation and growth, rather than dwelling in the past.
Remember, Shiva teaches us that true happiness comes from within, not from external circumstances or people. Focus on your spiritual progress and inner strength, and with time, you will find peace.
