Transliteration

yaiḥ punarviditaṃ tattvaṃ te muktā mocayantyapi | tattvahīne kuto bodhaḥ kuto hyātmaparigrahaḥ

Translation

真理の原理（タットヴァ）を正しく悟った者たち――その解脱者は、他者をも解放し得る。だがタットヴァを欠く者に、いずこより真の覚知が生じようか、いずこより内なる我（アートマン）を把握することがあろうか。

FAQs

It teaches that liberation (moksha) is grounded in tattva-realization—knowing Shiva as Pati and understanding the bondage of pāśa over the paśu. Only those established in this truth become capable guides who can awaken others.

Linga/Saguna worship is a practical doorway to tattva: devotion, purity, and mantra lead the seeker from form-based reverence to direct insight into Shiva’s reality. Without tattva, external worship remains incomplete and does not mature into liberating knowledge.

A focused discipline of Shiva-upāsanā that ripens into insight—japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) with steady meditation on Shiva as the inner Self; supported by traditional Shaiva aids like bhasma (Tripundra) and rudrāksha where appropriate.
