Shiva Purana — Vayaviya Samhita, Shloka 45
सर्वेश्वर-परमकारण-निरूपणम् / The Supreme Lord as the Uncaused Cause
तस्मान्नैकप्रकारेण नराणां मुक्तिरिष्यते । ज्ञानभावानुरूपेण प्रसादेनैव निर्वृतिः
tasmānnaikaprakāreṇa narāṇāṃ muktiriṣyate | jñānabhāvānurūpeṇa prasādenaiva nirvṛtiḥ
ஆகையால் மனிதரின் முக்தி ஒரே வகை என்று கருதப்படாது. அவரவர் ஞானத்தின் அளவும் மனநிலையும் ஏற்ப, சிவனின் அருளாலேயே உண்மையான அமைதியும் விடுதலையும் உண்டாகும்.

It teaches that moksha is not a uniform, one-size result; liberation manifests according to one’s jñāna and inner bhāva, but its decisive cause is Śiva’s prasāda (grace), which alone dissolves bondage and grants final peace.
Linga and saguna-upāsanā cultivate purified bhāva and ripened understanding; when devotion and insight mature, Śiva’s grace becomes effective, leading the seeker from form-based worship toward the highest release.
Adopt daily Śiva-upāsanā that refines bhāva—japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), reverent Linga-pūjā with bhasma (tripuṇḍra) and/or rudrākṣa—while seeking right knowledge and humility to receive grace.
