within and without. The devotee meditates and realizes THAT in his mind as the Lord.

Lord Siva gives an example here, “as a rat races with food in its mouth falls a prey to a snake unexpectedly, a man seeking pleasure after pleasure encounters death”.  But the devotee whose mind is steadfastly holding onto the Lord’s Feet transcends death.

He gives a warning that, “it is very likely that the Lord may delay His Prasad, but the devotee should unfailingly hold onto Him with conviction,  till he gets what he seeks”.

The Lord finally assures that a devotee who regularly reads this ‘Rudra Geeta’ will attain the Lord definitely.

Note – our usual beliefs about worshiping God are uprooted here.  We are learning so many precious lessons here.

 First one is, the careful attention with which the Shishya learns from the Guru. Any knowledge is easily accessible with such an attentive mind. For that we must have passion in what we want to learn. Prachethas proved that they are true learners.

Second is, the way Lord Siva advised them to worship God.
