Shiva Purana — Vayaviya Samhita, Shloka 45
सर्वेश्वर-परमकारण-निरूपणम् / The Supreme Lord as the Uncaused Cause
तस्मान्नैकप्रकारेण नराणां मुक्तिरिष्यते । ज्ञानभावानुरूपेण प्रसादेनैव निर्वृतिः
tasmānnaikaprakāreṇa narāṇāṃ muktiriṣyate | jñānabhāvānurūpeṇa prasādenaiva nirvṛtiḥ
Darum gilt die Befreiung der Menschen nicht als nur einerlei. Entsprechend Maß und Ausrichtung ihres Wissens entstehen wahrer Friede und Erlösung allein durch (Śivas) Gnade.

It teaches that moksha is not a uniform, one-size result; liberation manifests according to one’s jñāna and inner bhāva, but its decisive cause is Śiva’s prasāda (grace), which alone dissolves bondage and grants final peace.
Linga and saguna-upāsanā cultivate purified bhāva and ripened understanding; when devotion and insight mature, Śiva’s grace becomes effective, leading the seeker from form-based worship toward the highest release.
Adopt daily Śiva-upāsanā that refines bhāva—japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), reverent Linga-pūjā with bhasma (tripuṇḍra) and/or rudrākṣa—while seeking right knowledge and humility to receive grace.
