Vedastras- The welfare

There are two birds in the human body , one the soul and second the mind . The soul is untouched and imperishable and is called the almighty . The mind or mann is the doer and controllable cause of every performance . Our vedic sanatan teachings direct the mind to perform the noble activities as shiva .Shiva is also the name of the almighty .

Shiva is defined in the sixth verse as THAT which abides in the heart and carefully guides all persons. By becoming conscious of his/its divine will, we can intuitively perform actions effectively in the outer world .
