When He appears our heart is gone…
“Love and Death both are effecting our heart…
One takes the heart, the other the beat.” Anonymous
(Shivastotravali, verse 15)
“Those devotees who are intoxicated with the this wine of attachment, devotion, in those devotees, you just extract the hearts of people. Just by your mere presence. That is Lord Shiva’s positions. Wherever Lord Shiva is in front of you, your heart is gone. You can’t think, you can’t remember anything, you forget everything before him. So He has extracted your heart. You have no heart, no mind, no thinking, no thought.

And before him, in those people, who are intoxicated with the alcohol of devotion, in the beginning they determine that, “as soon as Lord Shiva will appear to them, they would keep all these demands before him.”
First demand is attaining peace, attaining joy and peacefulness.
And next demand is direct me towards the right path of liberation.
So with this determination they sit and think of Lord Shiva. And when Lord Shiva appears, their heart is gone.
So they don’t demand this attaining of that joy for peace, entire peace. And craving for putting feet on the path of moksa, on the path of liberation, that also they don’t remember before him . . . what to speak of other things . . . not in the least do they think or they demand anything from you. They just enjoy your nearness, that is all.”
