WHERE SHIVA SLEEPS: A Restive Commentary IMAGE: A cakra-wheel resting on a serpent with other manifestations and a radiant point of light at its centre. Chariya: (gazing at the image) Shiva never sleeps – this image is fundamentally incorrect. Bhäraté: Yeah, it is said that the truly awakened never sleep – at least in the ordinary sense of the word. An-Yi: Don't worry. Shiva has never existed, except as a myth. Chariya: (Shaking his head) No! No! Shiva always exists! All else is a myth! ===================================================================================== from _Pan-Asian Pulses: Poetry, Art, and Dialogs about Asia_ by T Newfields SUMMARY: A point of light surrounded by and 8-spoked wheel in several manifestations and some verbal gibberish.
