अनुग्रह-स्वातन्त्र्य-प्रमाणविचारः | Inquiry into Pramāṇa, Divine Autonomy, and Grace
तत्प्रेरितमिदं सर्वं तथापि न स मुह्यति । शक्तिराज्ञात्मिका तस्य नियन्त्री विश्वतोमुखी
tatpreritamidaṃ sarvaṃ tathāpi na sa muhyati | śaktirājñātmikā tasya niyantrī viśvatomukhī
Bien que tout ceci soit mis en mouvement par Son impulsion, Lui n’est pas dans l’illusion. Sa Puissance—dont la nature même est l’ordre—agit comme régulatrice universelle, tournée vers toutes les directions et les gouvernant.

FAQs
It teaches the Shaiva Siddhanta view that the universe functions by Shiva’s impulse, yet Shiva (Pati) remains untouched by confusion; Shakti operates as His governing ordinance, regulating pasha-bound beings without binding the Lord.
Linga worship contemplates Shiva as the transcendent, undeluded Pati, while also honoring His manifest governance through Shakti; thus the devotee learns to see cosmic order as Shiva’s presence without reducing Him to worldly change.
Meditate on Shiva as the steady witness beyond delusion while repeating the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), aligning one’s mind with divine ājñā (inner discipline) and offering actions as regulated by Shakti rather than ego.
