What is the significance of Lingodbhava?
God is known as Hiranyagarbha (one having a golden womb).
The golden Rasa (essence) present in His womb undergoes a vigorous churning process and assumes the shape of a Linga.
Linga means a symbol or a sign. (Showing the golden Linga that He created at the beginning of His Discourse) Bhagavan said - As you can see, it has no distinctive features like eyes, face, etc. It has neither feet nor head. It can be placed in any manner. It symbolizes the formless Divinity.
Leeyathe Gamyathe Ithi Lingaha It is the basis of everything. The golden Rasa after assuming the shape of a Linga emerges out.
You need fire in order to melt gold.
Similarly, the fire within melts the gold and molds it into the shape of a Linga.
Hence, the difficulty at the time of its emergence.
It has to assume the form of a Linga and come out.
You feel Swami is put to a lot of Badha (suffering) at the time of Lingodbhava.
It is not really a Badha (suffering) but a Bodha (teaching) for you.
Is it not natural for a mother to undergo labor pains while giving birth to a child?
Will any mother curse her child just because she is put to a lot of suffering?
She always prays for the well-being of the child.
In the same manner, Swami does not feel any pain at the time of the emergence of Linga.
I don't consider it a Badha. I am happy that I am imparting a significant Bodha to so many of you.
God has absolutely no suffering, no worries and no difficulties whatsoever.
But you feel that Swami is undergoing great pain and suffering.
