Brahma, the Hindus' God of creation,
is seen as an only four-headed god,
thus looking out into the
the world
divinely at the same time,
only in four directions,
whenever enacting his creations;

with his originally
fifth - inward-looking -head
seen as beheaded by
Lord Shiva

for his offense of ogling
Lord Shiva's Wife
- the latter's espoused Divine Female cosmic
Body of Energies in the universe -
at the time of their being united in Divine liaison,
with an illicit sexual desire for himself.

Versus Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva is seen as
the ultimate Bookkeeper and Supervisor of
all acts in the universe.

He is there to dissolve all the balances of the cosmic powers
in Brahma's new creations.

Thus, there will always be, in creation, this suspense
we have come to witness
in our own world.

And though the world at times seems to us an imperfect stage,
it is and always will remain
- India's great ancient seers of old were among
the first to realise this -
a most wondrous Divine play of choice.
