The cosmic dance

Yesterday our daughter was dancing to a poem, the meaning of which goes like this - "every dance consists of three essential parts- the bodily poses, the lyrics and the attire. For lord Siva's dance the whole universe is the body, all the literature in the world is the lyrics, and the moon and the stars are part of the attire."

How true it is! There is not a minuscule place in this whole universe where god is not present. People think "I am doing this. I wrote that. I can sing many songs. I have this much wealth," and the likes while unnecessarily nurturing their egos. The same person feeling so proud, can't even move a finger when God withdraws his energy from the body. The person suddenly becomes a mere body and disintegrates within hours. 

But when one realizes the cosmic dance, he loses all the ego and becomes part of the God. Rather, realizes being part of God. Then, there is no place for greed, sorrow, disappointment, etc. in that person's life. There is only the eternal and boundless joy of the Lords cosmic dance, that fills his heart and spills out spreading it's way through the hearts of all living beings surrounding him.
