Śiva-jñāna and the Non-dual Vision of a Śiva-maya Universe (शिवज्ञानम्—सर्वं शिवमयम्)
वस्तुतस्तु स्वयं सर्वं क्रमो हि भासते शुभः । अज्ञानं च मतेर्भेदो नास्त्यन्यच्च द्वयम्पुनः
vastutastu svayaṃ sarvaṃ kramo hi bhāsate śubhaḥ | ajñānaṃ ca materbhedo nāstyanyacca dvayampunaḥ
Sesungguhnya, seluruh hakikat wujud itu berdiri dengan sendirinya; tertib yang suci dan membawa berkat bersinar dengan sendirinya. Apa yang tampak sebagai kejahilan dan kepelbagaian pandangan sebenarnya bukan sesuatu yang lain—sekali lagi, hanyalah dwaita yang dibayangkan.
