It distinguishes binding cognition that inflates “I am the doer” from liberating Vidyā that leads to tattva-realization; in Shaiva Siddhanta this supports turning from pāśa (bondage like rāga) toward Pati (Shiva) through true knowledge.
Linga/Saguna Shiva worship is meant to purify rāga and kartṛtva-bhāva; when devotion matures, it becomes Vidyā—an inward means to recognize Shiva as the inner Reality beyond mere object-oriented attachment.
