🌻. Withdrawal to the Inside 🌻

After the work for creation was done, the Creator instructed them to withdraw to the inside and to do penance (Tapas) until they are called again. 

That is why you see on many pictures how Shiva, the highest Yogi in creation, is turned inwards to the heart centre. 

It says that Rudra in the form of Lord Shiva resides in the subtle planes on the Mount Kailash as the centre of his retreat.

In our life, there is also a time where we should withdraw from the cycle of life and increasingly turn to the spirit. A good time for this is from the 60th year on, the 72nd or the 84th.

The Creator told the Rudras to contemplate upon the Lord of synthesis, the 2nd Logos of Love, without doing any further work in creation. 

Love is the antidote to power. The power of Mars can be stopped by the love of Venus; there are many stories about it. 

One of the consorts of the 11 Rudras is also called the lady of consecrational love. The wives of the Rudras represent their powers and qualities.

It says that Master CVV worked out an agreement with the principle of Rudra, whereby the aspiration for achievement is shifting to the sense of beness and the experience of inner peace. 

Outer expansion and aggressive behaviour transform to a sense of inner experience, which is an aspect of Rudra. 

Thus, the people are lead from the will to power to the will to love and wisdom, which bestows peace and contentment.
