Reality of the marriage of Shiva and Pârvatî Part I

“All the Vedas, bringing the Truth of Life, are pulsating in the breath of Lord Shiva. The entire manifest Creation is the manifestation of the breath of Shiva. [...]
The “Night of Shiva” means in our ordinary language of human existence: Shiva was married to Mother Pârvatî, Divine Mother. Lord Shiva, the Absolute was married to his own eternal nature, Mother Divine.
And this meeting took place on the impulses of Yajur Veda. The thrills that the hymns of Yajur Veda bring out – that is the meeting point of the manifest and the unmanifest. And here is the marriage of Shiva with Pârvatî, Lord Shiva with Mother Divine... married on the impulses of Yajur Veda.
Rik Veda flatly expounds the eternal light of Absolute Being. It is on the impulses of Yajur Veda that the meeting point of Lord Shiva with Mother Divine is established.
And the story of Lord Shiva is not only the story of those who are spending time in waking, dreaming, sleeping state of consciousness. It is the story of every significant level of consciousness. It’s a story of transcendental awareness, infinite Being... When that’s made permanent, that’s the story of Unity Consciousness. It’s also a story of Cosmic Consciousness, the total story of God Consciousness.
[...]
According to the Indian conception of marriage, one is the heart of the other. Divine Mother is the heart of Lord Shiva. And “heart” means “manifest nature.” Manifest nature of unmanifest Shiva - both together constitute the universe, constitute life, constitute creation.
[...]
The marriage of Lord Shiva with Mother Divine, Pârvatî, took place as the marriages take place in India. Lord Shiva from somewhere going on to somewhere... (laughing) like a bridegroom, and then the whole marriage took place... And that is for those who are spending time in waking, dreaming, and sleeping states of consciousness.
Lord Shiva is understood by all kinds of intelligences in different states of consciousness. And the reality of the marriage of Lord Shiva with Mother Divine is understood mainly on these four levels: on the ordinary level of waking consciousness, on the Cosmic Consciousness, on God Consciousness, and on the state of Unity, Brâhmî Sthiti.
In Brâhmî Sthiti, the story of Lord Shiva is the Ultimate, the supreme story of Creation, supreme story of Creation.
Lord Shiva is the presiding deity of all. Someone who can preside over tamas, means over death, can certainly preside over life more easily. (laughing) And just because Lord Shiva is the Absolute itself, throughout these hymns of Yajur Veda, which we have heard just now, Lord Shiva is praised... is hailed as the Absolute...."

Part II
Reality of the sound of the Veda
Importance of Vedic Pandits' chanting and Yagyas for developing consciousness
But the meaning of the Vedas, even though it has its place of importance, but the real light of the Vedas is in the impulses of the expressions, in those vibrations, which are really the connecting link between the Absolute and Relative.
All these Vedic Pandits, they are especially invited because they have that traditional throat to express those vibrations in their [. . .] coming on from the tradition. This is important! The meaning of the Vedas is on a level which is useful for the psychological reasons. But as far as the reality of life is concerned, it is these vibrations that are important.
It is through these impulses, as I said, that the unmanifest reality manifested into the celestial being, into that celestial field of life, into that form of Lord Shiva. The celestial form of Lord Shiva is produced by the vibrations of the Yajur Veda. And these vibrations constitute Shiva’s body. The celestial body of Lord Shiva is made of these vibrations [. . . . . .]. And because these vibrations, because these traditional pundits are able to produce those vibrations in their maximum most purity... the vibrations produced here immediately thrill the body of Lord Shiva, the celestial body of Lord Shiva. And once thrilled, the attraction is spontaneous [and] automatic.
And this is what invocation means. This is what worship means. Once Lord Shiva is invoked through those vibrations, He must be present here, there is nothing [...] Nothing less than direct presence by virtue of the impulses... You know, it’s like tuning forks! One hits the tune and the other string starts humming. This is the specific value of these Vedic Mantras, Vedic hymns, these vibrations. When they call Lord Shiva then the mechanism starts from here and the echo is from there. And then both are in tune.
The invocation is not just a psychological thing... we invoke and then, huh, huh, yes, yes, [I’ll come]... it’s the actuality of happening. It happens. The thing happens. [...]
---Maharishi, after Vedic chanting on Shivarâtrî, 1970
