Be well!
Pranam.
Namaskar,
My English is not really up to standard. I don't mind admitting that.
There was no inconsistency in my statements. Either you read it in a hurry or may be the heading of thread could have caused confusion.
His direct intervention saved my life.
I claimed exactly opposite of that. I wrote Obviously I don't claim that it was a miracle or I escaped death because Shiva saved me.
I also wrote the following line - I do like to say that in depressing times God is a great comfort for devotees.
My Grandfather went blind in his 60s. He suffered from diabetes, high blood pressure and other aliments. But he was a very devout vaishnavite. He kept singing 'Shri krishna govind hare murari ....Hey nath narayan vasudeva'. His devotion to God gave him strength to pass his life in joy irrespective of all his sufferings. That's why I implied that irrespective of the fact that God intervenes or not - God is always a great comfort for devotees. As for me, I don't require anything of God. I just have a deep and unending love for Uma Maheshwara.
Nayasurya - It's nice to know your thoughts, sister. You have been posting much less frequently of late.

When the light has risen, there is no day, no night, neither existence nor non-existence; Siva alone is there. That is the eternal, the adorable light of Savitri, - and the ancient wisdom proceeded thence (Svetasvatara Upanishad IV-18). :)
