Shiva is written in story format which makes it easy for the reader to comprehend the contents much easier.  The story opens by saying, "an eight year old boy, lived with his parents in Mayawanti. Every night before going to bed he saw an image of a precious stone circle around his eyes and disappears."Then one night Shiva had dreamed with a handsome monk and when he reveals his dream to his parents and friends they thought he was crazy. This monk has the boy close his eye during his visit in the dream, and did not reveal a path that Shiva is to take on a journey.Sri tells lessons and lesson number one is "Gods strength does not lie in His thoughts." Sri says that the thinking mind tries to create a conflict in thoughts but the loving spirit finds way to reconcile the current situation. We need to find the glory in the "one thing" and stay true to that "one thing." Oh how I would love to find my one thing, my purpose in my own life!Sri explains how the mind works and how it is a "tool" to be used for good and we each have the chance to do good or evil with our minds. Yes, our thoughts. This reminds me of a lot of the law of attraction as he writes because he makes you see that all is universal. If you believe in the law of attraction than this writing is not so hard to understand but if you do not believe in the law of attraction then you will have a hard time understanding the meaning behind what the writer is saying.
