सर्वं शिवः शिवं सर्वं नास्ति भेदश्च कश्चन । कथं च विविधं पश्यत्येकत्वं च कथं पुनः
sarvaṃ śivaḥ śivaṃ sarvaṃ nāsti bhedaśca kaścana | kathaṃ ca vividhaṃ paśyatyekatvaṃ ca kathaṃ punaḥ
สรรพสิ่งเป็นศิวะ และศิวะคือสรรพสิ่ง; ไม่มีความแตกต่างใดๆ เลย แล้วจะเห็นความหลากหลายได้อย่างไร และจะรู้ความเป็นหนึ่งแท้จริงได้อย่างไรเล่า?
Suta Goswami (narrating Shiva’s non-dual teaching within the Kotirudrasaṃhitā context)
Tattva Level: pati
