Serene Depth- Wholeness
Wholeness. We could be in a room filled with all our loved ones and feel lonely or away in the forest or dessert by ourselves and feel whole, complete and blissful- not needing anything from outside to fill us. This is what enlightenment is all about and to even taste it in a small measure enables us to seek this 'wholeness' that is within us. This painting is about the joy and happiness of being One and enjoying each breath, the nature around us and the sustaining powers that enable us to enjoy the wholeness of ourselves even further.
All enlightened beings have this massive aura of peace, harmony and profound stillness and when with nature, all the living, from humans to bees calm down and become serene to absorb these overflowing waves of divine essence. The sages prefer to be away from the glare of fame, attachment, ego and negative vibrations. This Sage basks in His Oneness with nature and each word of His is the bell of wisdom breaking the loud silence of his void blissful thought. To find the destined Master, the search must begin and to find Him, we climb into our depth and within this solitude must seek. Finding Him, He is always there within us in fullness within our meditative depth!
Siddhar Kalanginathar, whom the painting depicts, is in samadhi as Sri Kalahasthi. His name means- The One who wears time as his clothes. |
