Il est indicible, immuable, le Soi suprême—non-duel et infaillible. Il est sans fin, Celui qui apporte la fin (de toutes choses), le Seigneur et Maître, omniprésent, le Dieu suprême : Śiva en tant que Pati, au-delà de toute limite et pourtant présent en tout.
Suta Goswami
Tattva Level: pati

It establishes Śiva as Parameśvara—beyond speech and change, non-dual, infinite, and the cosmic dissolver—pointing the seeker toward liberation through recognizing the Supreme Lord as both transcendent and all-pervading.
Though Śiva is described as nirguṇa-like (indescribable, immutable), the Linga functions as the accessible saguna symbol through which devotees worship the same all-pervading Parameśvara and realize His non-dual supremacy.
Meditate on Śiva as “vyāpakaḥ parameśvaraḥ” while repeating the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya); in ritual, support this with Tripuṇḍra (bhasma) and rudrākṣa as Shaiva marks of surrender to the Supreme Lord.
