Here Shankara pours out not only his heart but also all his poetic skill in painting a picture of Shiva which no one can view without a thrill. These hundred verses have been aptly called Shivananda Lahari, the waves of bliss that inundate those who contemplate on Shiva.
Stand upon the Atman, then only can we truly love the world. Take a very, very high stand; knowing our universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of the world.
-Swami Vivekananda
