What Can We Learn From Lord
Shiva?
Lord Shiva is a positive force of energy
who influences us to be the best version
of ourselves. Take a look at things we can
learn from Lord Shiva!
No 1 - The Art Of Self Control
It is easy for the devil within us to take
control of our minds. What happens is, we
get stuck with the glitches of desires and
make our life a disaster. So, Lord Shiva
teaches us to do what is right and always
has our main goal in mind.
No 2 - To Voice Out Against
Injustice
WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2020
Doing injustice is a sin. A bigger sin is tolerating
injustice. As Lord Shiva bursted out with anger
and fought against injustice. In life, we must
keep away from people who think wrong and do
wrong. When needed, we must fight back.
No 3 - To Stay Calm For Happiness
The king of meditation was Lord Shiva. He
always let his mind slip into meditation for
peace to be there in the universe. Likewise, it is
for us to learn to be wise in our reactions. It is
good if we keep calm for peace to remain in our
hearts. When there is peace, happiness is not
too far away.
