Distinctions are a burden on the mind. If A is different from B, then one has to remember both A and B.

It is wonderful when A to Z are all one; then you can just remember A and forget everything else.

And if A to Z all are nothing, then it is an even bigger relief: you need not remember anything. The mind is totally free.

So, one mark of spirituality is to not create distinctions. Shiva does not live a designed life, does he? Do you think anything about Shiva is readymade, man-made, fabricated, cultivated? That’s what Shiva is.
