Ang tinatawag na “ādhidaivika” ay muling sinasabing may tatlong uri at likas na kasama ng pag-iral. Ipinapaliwanag ito bilang pagyanig o pagkabagabag ng isip na nagmumula sa paghadlang sa nilalayong kalooban—isang pighating nakaugat sa mga puwersang makalangit na namamahala sa daigdig.
Suta Goswami (narrating to the sages of Naimisharanya)
FAQs
It frames a key problem Linga worship addresses: the mind’s agitation caused by forces beyond personal control. By turning to Shiva as Pati through Linga-upāsanā, the devotee seeks steadiness (citta-sthairya) and release from such ādhidaivika pressures.
Shiva-tattva is implied as the transcendent Lord (Pati) beyond the destabilizing play of presiding cosmic powers. When the Pashu’s will is obstructed and the mind churns, refuge in Shiva indicates a higher sovereignty capable of pacifying and liberating.
The verse points to a Yogic takeaway: recognize agitation (saṃkṣobha) as a definable affliction and counter it through Shaiva disciplines—japa of Shiva-mantra, Linga-dhyāna, and Pāśupata-style inner restraint that steadies the mind when desires are thwarted.
