GANESH IS NONE OTHER BUT THE ANCIENT ONE

Bhau Kalchuri

 
Once the individual mind is annihilated,
it is replaced by the Universal Mind — the elephant's head.
The drop, represented by the boy's body,
becomes the Ocean of Mind,
represented by a child wearing
a giant head of an elephant.

As Shiva represents the First Soul to realize God Himself,
Ganesh represents the same First Soul
When He returned into creation as Avatar.

Ganesh is none other but the Ancient One — Adi-Purush;
He returned after being beheaded,
Losing his individual finite mind
He gained Universal Infinite Mind.

Ganesh became the Son of the Father, Shiva,
And thus became the Father of all Sadgurus
As Shiva became the Father of all Shiv-Atmas.
