☆ Did the ocean churning happen only once? ☆

If so, then what is this constant, unending form of churning in the mind? The demons are also inside, the deities are also within!… And, the desire to allure the world by becoming Mohini*, the enchantress, is also inside!

… Did the sea-churning really happen only once ..?

Churning is eternal; and so is the creation…

*Mohini** is the female avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. She is portrayed as a femme fatale, an enchantress, who maddens lovers, sometimes leading them to their doom.
