☆ Shrishta – The Creator ☆

“Guru ji, I am in a strange state of dilemma. Everyone has started to appear as Digambar**। Everyone is in his natural state. There is no covering of any kind”, the seeker posed his problem and curiosity together to the Guru.

“When could anyone, who remained in the wordly vesture, ever see Hari — the Lord? Now, look at the uncovered Nature like mother beholds her child. You also cast your eyes with loving adoration… You have now begun to see the subtle in the gross… You’re on the earnest path of becoming the creator from the creation”, saying thus, Guruji embraced the disciple.

**The word *Digambara* is a combination of two Sanskrit words: dik (दिक्) (directions) and ambara (अम्बर) (sky), referring to those whose garments are of the element that fills the four quarters of space. Digambara monks do not wear any clothes as it is considered to be parigraha (possession), which ultimately leads to attachment.
