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
Em verdade, toda a realidade está estabelecida por si mesma; a ordem auspiciosa das coisas resplandece por si. O que parece ignorância e diversidade de opiniões não é, de fato, outra coisa—mais uma vez, é apenas uma dualidade imaginada.
