I wish I could write like some of you..you guys make me handicapped...

Shiva then asked his wife "In your father's house, you would have slept on soft beds with silken covers. Where will you sleep now? "

Sati pointed to his feet. "At your feet, My Lord. The beds in my father's house only provided comfort. Your feet provide moksha. "

Shiva smiled. Then he asked " Your father's palace is very large. You would have been warm and comfortable, especially during winter. Where will you live now, Sati ?"

Sati pointed to his heart. "Can any palace be larger than your heart, My Lord ? I will reside in your heart and its warmth will shelter me. My father's palace can protect me only in this lifetime, but your heart will give me refuge for several lifetimes."

Shiva then asked "But what will you do for a fire ? You cannot go to the smashan all the time. "

In response, Sati closed her eyes and mentally summoned Agni Dev. "If my surrender to my Lord is pure and complete, O Agni Dev, appear here" A flash of fire appeared on the ground near them.

Looking down at the woman who had accepted him as her sarvasva, Shiva smiled.

He fell in love

Pure and sublime love...
