Kindle Notes & Highlights
Shiva means God who cannot be contained by space or time, God who needs no form.
Shiva is Hara, who is indifferent to form, while Vishnu is Hari, who is appreciative of form.

The lion runs to catch its prey and the deer runs to escape its predator. The deer may be prey to the lion, but it is predator to the grass. Thus no one in nature is a mere victim. Without realising it every victim is a victimiser, and there is no escape from this cycle of life.
infinite bliss of an unfettered consciousness, sat-chitta-ananda. Liberated from all things sensory, nature has no effect on him.
Darshan is an empathy-filled gaze.
