Pratibimba

Pratibimba means Reflection, reflection of the truth is what in its inner most core of subtle essence of cosmic essence it means. It emerges from the spandana(Pulsation) of the inner consciousness (antar-Citta). The cosmic essence of the Truth pulsates and when it is absorbed by the inner conscious of a Bimba (reflection of the Body consciousness), such absorbed Bimba is considered to be the Shiva.

S is Bind

H is expansion

É  is Imitate

V is Rest

A is Alleviate

For one to bind the expansion and imitate one needs to rest the Antar Citta so that the pulsation of the way to the path of alleviation is known. This path can only be taken by the Energy residing within the Body, for connection with it makes one relate to Shakti.

Where in

S is binding

H is expansion

A is Compact

K  is Force

T is Dimensional

I is connection

This force is considered necessary for one to attain Shiva and only a Shakti can attain Shiva That one who does it is called a SatGuru (One who is realized the Inner Truth). Shakti does penance for attaining Shiva for the way of Shiva is the way of Truth, it is a way of disowning that one has carried for long. While Shiva remains eternally in a state of neutral dynamic pulsation for it is a way of connecting with Rudra state.

In the mythology Shiva is shown as been married to Sati the daughter of Daks, Sati (Binding Compact Dimensional Connection) can never hold the state of Shiva for her connection was more with Daks, her past, her father not to the Shiva. Thus her ego still in place lost the way leading to a state of darkness within leading her to lose the connection too with the subtle consciousness and the infinite expansion that can never be trapped within a compact dimension unless and untill one is ready to expand, rest and connect.
