Shiva Purana — Vayaviya Samhita, Shloka 21

शक्तितत्त्ववर्णनम् / Exposition of the Principle of Śakti

Devanagari script

न हि शक्तिमतश्शक्त्या विप्रयोगो ऽस्ति जातुचित् । तस्माच्छक्तेः शक्तिमतस्तादात्म्यान्निर्वृतिर्द्वयोः

Transliteration

na hi śaktimataśśaktyā viprayogo 'sti jātucit | tasmācchakteḥ śaktimatastādātmyānnirvṛtirdvayoḥ

Translation

力を有する者（シャクティマン—シヴァ）とその力（シャクティ）との間に、いかなる時も離別は決してない。ゆえに、シャクティとシャクティマンは同一の本質であるがゆえ、両者の円満なる安息と解脱は、その不二そのものにおいて確立される。

It teaches that Śiva (Śaktimān) and Śakti are inseparable and of one essence; realizing this non-separation is presented as the ground of nirvṛti—inner completion and liberation.

In Linga worship, the devotee honors Śiva together with His inherent Śakti—consciousness with its power of grace—so the Saguna form is not separate from the supreme reality but a doorway to recognizing their essential oneness.

Meditate on Śiva with Śakti as non-different while repeating the Panchakshara ("Om Namaḥ Śivāya"), and offer worship with the attitude that the Lord and His power of grace are never divided.
