अद्वैतशैवसिद्धान्ते पुरुष-प्रकृति-विचारः
Puruṣa–Prakṛti Analysis in Advaita Śaiva Doctrine
सत्त्वादिगुणसाध्यं च बुध्यादित्रितयात्मकम् । चित्तम्प्रकृतितत्त्वं तदासीत्सत्त्वादिकारणात्
sattvādiguṇasādhyaṃ ca budhyāditritayātmakam | cittamprakṛtitattvaṃ tadāsītsattvādikāraṇāt
Citta (substansi batin) adalah evolusi dari Prakṛti; ia terbentuk oleh guṇa-guṇa mulai dari sattva dan berwujud triad yang bermula dari buddhi. Ia muncul karena kerja kausal guṇa-guṇa itu (sattva dan lainnya).

It explains that the mind (citta) is a product of Prakṛti and the guṇas, implying it is changeful and bindable; liberation in a Shaiva Siddhanta sense comes by turning from guṇa-born mind toward Pati (Śiva), the transcendent Lord.
Linga/Saguṇa-Śiva worship disciplines the guṇa-driven citta—making it sattvic and steady—so devotion can mature into knowledge that Śiva is distinct from Prakṛti and its tattvas.
A practical takeaway is japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) with dhyāna to purify the guṇa-born citta; wearing Rudrākṣa and applying Tripuṇḍra-bhasma support steadiness and sāttvika orientation in practice.
