Why Shiv is a Loner?

At the time of creation of the Universe, Shakthi ie Energy was separated from Shiv to create and sustain everything in the universe. Shiv voluntarily gave up a part of himself for creation of everything. So in order that the universe runs smoothly Shiv has to sacrifice the most beloved part of himself

That's also why he is the destroyer of everything. All he has to do is take back his Shakthi from something, and that particular thing is destroyed

It is this separation that makes him a Loner, a sanyasi. Much against his personal wish, he has to make this sacrifice, this is what makes him sad (sad is an understatement)

Trying to understand his sorrow is so unimaginable to common people that nobody knows his real nature. In fact most of the people don't even know when he was born, who his parents are, where he lived.

Shiv Puran details his feelings of this loss and his uninterest in the affairs of this world. He is a Smashaan vaasi for the same reason. And thus represents ultimate reality of life ie Death.

All these facts are neither for Samsaaris ie social family people nor for the faint hearted. Sometimes Truth is Harsher than we can imagine, and few can accept truth as it is. People resort to lying because it is comfortable and convenient.

Tanhaai kyun???

Kyun aisi ummeed ki maine
           Jo aise naakam hui
Door banaai thi manzil to
          Raste main hi shaam hui
Ab kahan jaaun main
         Kisko samjhaaun main
Kyaa maine chaha tha aur
         kyun kismet me aayi "Tanhaai"

Dil ke raaste main kaisi
           thokar maine khaayi
Toote khwaab saare
           ek maayusi hai chaayi
Har khushi so gayi
          Zindagi kho gayi
Tumko jo Pyaar kya maine
           To sazaa me paayi "Tanhaai"

I fell in love with Mother India at the wrong point/stage of my life. I could've made a huge career out of my education and intelligence, but I chose to serve the country and ended up where I am today. Disoriented, uninterested, lost, destroyed, aimless, directionless, and many other -ve adjectives. And I don't see the need to come out of this stage anytime. That's why No socialising, no meeting people, no friend or enemy, no relations, no existence.

That's also why I run enthusiastically to perform any task the Govt entrusts me with. Whether putting Ink on fingers or observing or counting votes. And also the reason I follow the politics of the day. To see the fate of my Mother India.

Now, for myself, the only answer that makes sense is A Vairaagi Shiv and his unsocial ways. Someone who is as disoriented, uninterested, lost, destroyed, aimless, directionless, etc. , as me. No other way computes or makes sense.

Of Chaand, Chakors and Earth

Chaand ko kya maalum
Chaah ta hai use koi Chakor

Thus goes a song of those days.

Chakor ko kya maalum ki
Earth ke ek nahi do-do Chaand hai

What's even more intriguing is the fact that Earth has not one but two Moons. One is the familiar orb we see every night and Another small asteroid that was captured by earth's gravitational pull. Scientists have discovered that an asteroid hitherto circling our Sun has entered into orbit around the Sun on a path that perfectly coincides with that of our Earth. Strictly speaking the said asteroid doesn't orbit our Earth, like our Moon does, more like it follows the earth around the sun. We can't see it because it is too small an object and moreover it always lags behind earth in its orbit around the Sun.

So koi Chakoron ko jaake bathaye yeh baat taaki, they can be more specific as to which Chaand are they referring to.
