The Dance of Knowing and Forgetting
Shiva is pure, uncensored knowing—unbound, unborn, untouched.
Shakti is the flowering of that knowing into form: mind, body, world.
She is the gesture of knowing made visible.
Together, they dance: the infinite and the finite, the stillness and the movement.
In this dance, Shakti forgets.
She forgets she is not other than Shiva.
She forgets that the world is not separate from knowing.
And in this forgetting, the illusion of separation is born.
The divorce is not a rupture in reality, but a veil drawn across remembrance.
From this veil, the individual arises—an echo of the whole, believing itself apart.
And so begins the pilgrimage:
The individual, born of forgetting, seeks to reconcile the divorce.
Not by mending what was broken,
But by remembering what was never lost.
