शिवः शक्त्या युक्तो यदि भवति शक्तः प्रभवितुं न चेदेवं देवो न खलु कुशलः स्पन्दितुमपि। अतस्त्वाम् आराध्यां हरि-हर-विरिन्चादिभि रपि प्रणन्तुं स्तोतुं वा कथ-मक्र्त पुण्यः प्रभवति॥ 1 ॥ Lord Shiva who is worshipped by the Lord of the Lord's is empowered to create only with Sakthi. Without Sakthi Shiva cannot even move. So how can one who has not performed meritorious deeds can even have the right to worship the Supreme Thus says Adi Sankara through Saundarya Lahiri Verse 1 Normally we say that behind every successful man is a woman If we look at it broadly nothing can operate in isolation Nature is an ecosystem wherein it is empowered to create only with the help of others We should aim for excellence as a team and not at the cost of others Service to humanity in compliance with the laws of Nature is Service to the Supreme That is why there is also a popular saying that God helps those who help themselves
Thanks for the responses. I am reading the verses one by one and will post here as and then. This may not be new to all. But I write this as a path of discovery for my self.
