"This Shivarathri is a day when one tries to establish friendship between mind and God.
Shivarathri makes one aware of the fact that the same Divinity is all-pervasive and is to be found
everywhere. It is said that Shiva lives in Kailasa. But where is Kailasa? Kailasa is our own joy,
our own bliss. It means that Easwara lives in the Kailasa of delight. If we can develop that sense
of joy and delight in our mind, that itself is Kailasa. How can one get this joy? It comes when we
develop purity and steadiness and sacredness. Then the heart becomes filled with peace and bliss.
Then your heart itself will be Kailasa and Shiva will be there in the sanctum sanctorum of your
heart, within the temple which is your body."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
