It has been depicted here (in the picture) that in reality, the Light of Sadaa Shiva (always beneficial), the Supreme Father is [a] separate [soul] and Shankar is a separate soul. Both of them were combined by mistake; but it is not a mistake, actually, it is our ignorance. Because of [the strength of] this ignorance, the Brahmakumars and kumaris are also entangled in that ignorance. What is the ignorance? When the Supreme Soul Shiva, the incorporeal Point of Light comes to this world, He will definitely make an ordinary man equal to Himself and teach him the knowledge. There will certainly be one such student of the teacher who assimilates his knowledge 100%. So, that incorporeal Point of Light Shiva comes and is revealed in the world through the form of Shankar (Arjun or Aadam), and in this way, both of them are united. You will see that no one says, Shiva and Brahma are the same. Why isn’t the name Brahma combined with [that of] Shiva? Why isn’t the name of Vishnu combined with [that of] Shiva? Why is only the name of Shankar combined with [that of] Shiva? It is combined because Shankar becomes so engrossed in the remembrance of Shiva that he absorbs Shiva in himself; it means he becomes equal to the Father. So, that stage of merging [with Him] is the stage that becomes famous in the world as: ‘Shiva and Shankar are the same’. Actually, both are separate souls. The Supreme Soul Shiva never comes in the cycle of birth and death, He never enters the womb at all. This is why it is said ‘Shivling’. It isn’t said ‘Shankarling’. It is said ‘Shivraatri’ (the night of Shiva) and not ‘Shankar raatri’ (the night of Shankar). Shiva is always beyond sins (paap) and merits (punya); and the bodily beings become entangled in sins and merits.
Now see, Shankar is sitting in meditation. If he himself is the form of the Supreme Father, the Light of Sadaa Shiva, if he himself is the Supreme Soul, who is he remembering? If you visit the ancient temples, you will see that the Shivling is kept at the main place, in the center and the idol of Shankar, the main among all the deities is also placed around it. What does it prove? [It proves] that among all the other deities, the 33 crore (330 million) deities, the deity Shankar is certainly Dev Dev Mahadev (the greatest of all the deities), but he isn’t the Supreme Father + Supreme Soul. He too is sitting in front [of Him] in His remembrance. In front of whom? In front of the Shivling. So the Supreme Soul, the Point of Light Shiva in the form of the ling (oblong stone) is the remembrance of the Incorporeal One and this Shankar, the hero actor is the great hero of this stage like world. The knowledgeable people can just remember the Point of Light Shiva; and in the path of bhakti (devotion), Shankar, His permanent chariot like body himself is worshipped in the form of a big ling because of stabilizing in the incorporeal stage.
