Sekali lagi, apabila ia menjadi sempurna sepenuhnya, ia merebak ke seluruh tubuh dari segala arah. Lalu, sari hayat—yang bersemayam di tengah saluran halus (nāḍī)—meresapi tubuh sebagai Ātman, menjadi getah batin kehidupan yang berjasad.

FAQs
It points to the Shaiva-yogic view that when inner energies mature and become balanced, the life-essence (rasa/prāṇa) stabilizes in the nāḍī-system and pervades the whole body, making the sādhaka fit for Shiva-realization (Pati-jñāna) beyond bondage (pāśa).
Linga-worship is paired with inner purification: as devotion and discipline refine the subtle channels, the practitioner’s embodied awareness becomes a proper vessel to meditate on Saguna Shiva in the Linga and gradually turn inward toward the supreme reality of Shiva.
A practical takeaway is nāḍī-śuddhi (breath regulation) combined with japa of Shiva-mantra (especially the Panchākṣarī, “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”), supporting the harmonization of prāṇa so it can pervade the body steadily for meditation.
